Kiritsuke 210mm (8.2in) Blue#2
- Type: Kiritsuke
- Finish: Damascus
- Blade Length: 210 mm (8.3 in)
- Construction: Awase
- Core Edge Steel: Aogami (Blue) #2
- HRC (Rockwell Hardness): 60-61
- Handle: Ebony
- Bevel: Double-Bevel
- Place of Origin: Tosa, Japan
In recent years, the representative all-purpose knife, much like the santoku, is commonly regarded as indistinguishable from santoku knives. Made with a sloping cut from its back towards its tip, it's similar to a kiritsuke in its pointed tip but differs from its wider blade. Its double-bevel blade works for both right and left-handed people.
Blue (Aogami) #2 (Hitachi Metals Ltd.) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten / Wolfram to White Steel #1. This results in increased toughness and the production of hard carbide molecules, which improve edge retention. Many knife users have noted that while Blue Steel #2 is very similar to White Steel #1 in terms of edge sharpness, it has slightly superior edge retention.
* This is handmade product, so there may be slight difference from the actual image.
