Sakai Takayuki Aogami #2 Blue Steel Santoku – Japanese Yasuki Carbon Steel Professional Chef’s Santoku

The Sakai Takayuki Aogami #2 Blue Steel Santoku is a rare and high-end professional chef’s knife made from traditional Japanese Yasuki carbon steel, typically used in single-bevel Japanese knives.

Aogami #2 (Blue Steel #2) is highly regarded for its excellent sharpness, edge retention, and ease of sharpening among high-carbon steels. It is widely used in professional Japanese kitchen knives, especially in traditional single-bevel blades.

This model applies Aogami #2 steel to a double-bevel Santoku design, making it a rare combination that brings traditional Japanese cutting performance into a Western-style chef’s knife format.

The result is a knife that offers exceptional sharpness, strong cutting performance, and the characteristic feel of traditional Japanese carbon steel, while maintaining the versatility of a Santoku.

This is a professional-grade knife designed for chefs who demand high performance and appreciate traditional Japanese steel craftsmanship.
