Super Blue Steel is a type of Blue Steel that is often referred to as Aogami or “Blue Paper.” It’s used to manufacture many of the authentic Japanese knives found here at Hasu-Seizo. Aogami Super knives are handmade or hand-forged to provide them with increased durability and abrasion resistance.

Aogami Super Blue Steel knives contain chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium. This unique combination results in one of the most durable and corrosion-resistant high-carbon steels. It also has incredible edge retention for a high-carbon steel. This combination of unique qualities has made it one of the most popular steel types for both home and professional cooks.
Super Blue Steel knives have the highest carbon content compared to other high carbon steel knives by adding vanadium to decrease the brittleness caused by the high carbon content. But it’s the addition of these other elements that stand out. In addition to giving these knives improved edge retention, these elements result in added strength and a practical hardness of 61 to 65 HRC.
