At 63-64 HRC it is significantly harder than VG10 or ZA18. In this San Mai construction, the Aogami Super core is clad on both sides with stainless steel - protecting the body of the blade from corrosion while leaving the edge exposed to deliver the full cutting performance of carbon steel. The stainless cladding makes this a more practical daily-use option than a fully reactive carbon blade, while retaining all the edge performance of Aogami Super. The santoku profile handles meat, fish, and vegetables with equal confidence. The brown pakkawood handle is durable and moisture-resistant.
