For the 3rd Series of JCK Original "Kagayaki", we have
selected Carbon Steel blade knives with Japanese traditional taste "Wa
Style", jointly worked with the talented Custom Knife Maker, Mr. Asai.
"Kagayaki Aogami Super Custom Damascus
Wa-Bocho Series"
We have been realizing the potential demands
and popularities of the carbon steel blade even in overseas market. As you know, the
Carbon steel blade requires extra care and maintenance. Because it
gets rust and discolors easily. However, the experienced users including professional chefs prefer to
choose and use Carbon Steel blade kitchen knives
because of its great advantage for the
sharpness, longer edge retention and ease of resharpening.
Also, there
have been many requests and demands for Japanese Traditional style Wa
style knives such as Wa Gyuto, so it was one of our wishes to
have a wide selection of the blades with Japanese Traditional Wa
Style.
For this new
project, we have decided to work with Mr. Asai who has a great
experience and technique in custom hammer forging and custom
knife making in Takefu City where is famous as "Echizen Uchihamono" (Hammer
forged knives).
In order to satisfy the serious users to
professionals, we selected the Japan's Highest
quality Hagane "Aogami Super" for the blade
material without any hesitation. The
Aogami Super has rich chemical compositions of high Carbon
(1.40 – 1.50) with Chromium (0.30 – 0.50) and
Tungsten (2.00 – 2.50) added for extra durability
and longer edge
retention.
Mr. Asai's Custom Hammer forging process
maximize the steel's character for blade core of Aogami Super
forge layered with soft Iron for beautiful
Damascus patterns. (HRC 63 to 64)
Due
to the hand forging process, the thickness on the tang varies on each
model, but it tapers to tip consistantly for the best cutting
performance. Double bevel edge 50/50 shape.

forged with soft iron Damascus blade. There is possibility to get rust
or discolor on whole blades. They are designed exactly for carbon steel
lovers and serious users who demand Japanese Hagane's sharpness, edge

Notice
about the blade spine thickness on Kagayaki Aogami
Super knives.
In case of the hand hammer
forging process, the spine near the handle remains thicker than normal
knives, but it is hand tapered down toward the cutting edge and the
blade tip by the experienced Forgesmith, Mr. Asai for the best cutting
performance.
