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.
