Blue Steel 2, also known as Aoniko, is one of the most common high-carbon steels used to create Western-style, double-bevel Japanese kitchen knives. These authentic Japanese knives are handmade or hand-forged to make them more durable and resistant to abrasion, while being more durable and able to stay sharp for longer compared to some other high carbon steels.

There are many benefits of buying authentic Japanese knives that are made out of Blue Steel 2. For starters, knives made from it will be more difficult to break than those made with White Steel 2. Knives that are made from it will also typically stay sharper for longer stretches of time than knives containing White Steel 2 due to the addition of Tungsten. Knives created with White Steel 2 will often be easier to sharpen than those with Aoniko for the exact same reason, but this is offset by the fact that knives made using it won’t have to be sharpened quite as often.
