Founded by Shozo Ikeuchi, the business was later joined by his sons, and now his grandson, Hiromi Ikeuchi continues the tradition. Miki City itself has been renowned for its tool making industry since at least the Edo period (it’s like the Sheffield of Japan), and these knives are an excellent example of the high-quality tools and hardware produced in the area. Made of premium Aogami #2 Steel, these small carving knives are extremely sharp right out of the box, and have excellent edge retention. They are available individually in seven useful profiles, or as a full set with tool roll. The knives make excellent introductory carving tools, additions to a growing set of tools, and are unique enough that they make a great gift set for the carving enthusiast in your life, no matter how complete their collection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props=\"{\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/span\u003e:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props=\"{\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli data-leveltext=\"\" data-font=\"Symbol\" data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"1\" data-aria-level=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAogami #2 Steel Blades\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props=\"{\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eSometimes called Blue Paper Steel due to the color of the paper the steel comes wrapped in when sent to the blacksmith, Aogami is generally considered the premier Japanese steel for high end knife making.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-ccp-props=\"{\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-leveltext=\"o\" data-font=\"Courier New\" data-listid=\"1\" aria-setsize=\"-1\" data-aria-posinset=\"2\" data-aria-level=\"2\"\u003e\n\u003cspan data-contrast=\"auto\"\u003eAogami Steel is a high carbon steel that has very few impurities.
