Korin Ao-ko Hongasumi

The Korin Ao-Ko Hongasumi line is a great intermediate series for those looking for quality and longevity. Forged with Blue Steel #2 which is a mixture of chromium, tungsten and white steel #2. The addition of chromium and tungsten to white steel gives it added hardness, making it a good compromise for those who want a carbon knife with a longer edge retention.
