Why Aichi Steel?
-
Superior Edge Retention: Thanks to a high carbon content, Aichi steel can be hardened significantly more than standard Western steels. This allows the blade to take - and hold - our signature 15° edge for much longer.
-
Corrosion Resistance: Unlike traditional high-carbon steels that rust if you look at them wrong, Aichi steel is enriched with Chromium. This gives you the professional cutting power of carbon steel with the easy maintenance of stainless steel.
-
Structural Toughness: Enriched with Vanadium and Molybdenum, this steel isn't just hard; it's tough. It is less brittle than other super-steels, making it less prone to chipping during daily kitchen tasks.
