Aogami #2
Blue Paper Steel #2Similar to Aogami #1 but with slightly lower carbon and tungsten content. Offers an excellent balance of edge retention and toughness, making it the most-used steel among Japanese master blacksmiths. The sweet spot of the Aogami family — demanding enough to be worthy, forgiving enough to be reliable.
