AUS-8 (also called 8A) is made by Aichi Steel Corporation and is a very homogenous ingot stainless steel with a very uniform grain structure, especially for a stainless steel. It seems to have the "right" amount of everything for good balance.

It is a stainless steel that is easy to reharpen because of the very uniform grain structure, it will take a razor edge.

57-58 Rockwell hardness.

It has also good resistance against rust and all around it is a great knife blade steel to use what more could you expect from Japan and Toyota
