Yamashin Blue #2 Damascus

Kaki-san at Yamashin builds this line in Tosa, Japan around Blue #2, or Aogami #2, carbon steel, hand forged and wrapped in a reactive Damascus cladding for both strength and a striking layered look. It is a genuinely handmade line rather than a factory production run, and the reactive steel rewards the kind of attention carbon steel owners already know to give it: dry hands, quick wipes, and a patina that builds character over time.
