蓝钢#1

蓝钢 #1 因其出色的硬度和持久的锋利度而被誉为传统日本厨刀的理想材料。由于碳含量高，并通过锻造而致密化，其性能优于白钢。这种钢材适合专业人士使用，不需要经常磨刀，而且经过熟练的手工适当打磨后，它具有无与伦比的边缘保持力和切割能力。

However, Blue Steel #1 also comes with the drawback of being difficult to handle. Its hardness makes sharpening more challenging, and its overall usability can be somewhat limited for those who are not experienced. It is a material suited for experts, requiring a high level of skill for optimal use. For beginners, it might prove to be a bit too difficult.

For this reason, it’s important to apply the correct sharpening techniques and handle Blue Steel #1 with care. If used properly, it can deliver outstanding sharpness and durability, offering a cutting experience that is second to none. As the saying goes, “A tool is only as good as the one who wields it,” and this certainly applies to Blue Steel #1.
