It provides a degree of natural protection to the reactive carbon steel and develops a unique patina with use. Combined with the tsuchime hammered texture, it reduces drag and prevents food from sticking to the flat. Aogami Super takes a keener edge than any stainless steel and holds it longer under hard use.
