I forgot how nice super blue is to sharpen

[sweetsdream]

I have been using Aogami Super Blue for years on my kitchen knives and recently got a SB Caly 3 sprint purely based on the steel. I got the Edge Pro out to help a buddy get a chip out on his CRK and decided to run the Caly through it. I forgot how nice it is to sharpen Aogami and how easy it is to get a scary sharp edge. The one thing I love about it is how you get a burr that you can feel all the way up past 3k stones. If you haven't tried this steel, I highly recommend it. My kitchen knives get a nice dark gray patina but the Caly hasn't shown any yet. I do wipe it with a tuff cloth every once and a while though. What are you thoughts on Blue Paper steel?

Hi Dream,

I appreciate the fact that you appreciate the steel. It's a beautiful composition with many exceptional features. A perfect example of "all good, just different".

It's also nice to be part of an industry that can evaluate the differences in steel without having to build a tank or a bridge.
