The traditional blade is quite different from its Western knives. First,
it is a hand laminated blade with a very hard steel face (Rc60 to Rc64)
laminated to a wrought-iron back. The use of very hard steel requires the
soft back both for the damping qualities and to provide an element of toughness
that the steel face alone would not have. Second, a traditional Japanese
knife has a hollow face for faster sharpening and to make it easier to
maintain flatness.
Aji means a horse mackerel. Ajikiri is used for small fish, meat and vegetable.
Also it's a paring knife in the Western kitchen.
They are white steel, iron clad.
