As a reactive carbon steel blade, it requires immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent oxidation. The knife weighs 270g with a spine thickness of 4.7mm at the heel, tapering to 1.0mm at the tip, and features an ebony handle with triple spacers. Each Mazaki knife is forged, ground, heat-treated, and finished entirely by hand as part of a complete one-man operation, ensuring exceptional fit and finish throughout the production process.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mazaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48088793809117,"sku":"MAZA_B2MK_YANA300","price":799.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_7261.jpg?v=1782454801"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/collections\/mazaki.oembed","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
