AUS8

AUS8, also referred to as INOX steel, is very similar in composition to AUS10, though doesn't hold as sharp an edge for as long. Produced by Aichi Steel Company, AUS8 is a great introductory steel to Japanese knives, as it is easy to sharpen, very durable, rust resistant, and is usually reasonably priced.
