      Anglers initially used these all-purpose knives to make cook fish and vegetables onboard their boats. Their design incorporates aspects of Usuba and Sashimi knives. It's versatile like the Santoku but has a sharper tip, perfect for delicate work. 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.
