It is a premium steel with extremely fine microscopic structure therefore it can be very sharp compared to traditional steel. Also, thanks to the modern metallurgy technology, powdered steels tend to have superior edge retention and impact resistance. In the case of SG2, it is typically heat treated to HRC 62, and has more than twice the edge retention than traditional White 2 steel. Being a stainless steel, together with extreme sharpness, high edge retention and impact resistance, the SG2 is a perfect cutlery steel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Hatsukokoro’s design is dynamic and vibrant. Through its highly polished surface, It is almost impossible to really tell the “layers” through the strikingly beautiful yet convoluted pattern. Matched with the K\u0026amp;S teak octagonal WA handle, with black buffalo horn, the overall package is traditional, simple yet elegant. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMeasurements \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"100%\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.1842%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e150 mm\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e68 g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eTotal Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e278 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eTip to Heel Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e141 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eBlade Height at Heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e28.9 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eWidth of Spine Above Heel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\"\u003e1.9 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle of Blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%;\"\u003e1.6 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 54.1842%;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 54.1842%;\"\u003eWidth of Spine at about 2cm from tip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 22%; text-align: center;\" data-mce-style=\"width: 22%;\"\u003e0.9 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteel type:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e SG2 Core with Damascus cladding\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardness (HRC):\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e60-61\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eK\u0026amp;S Teak wood handle.
