The K-tip profile pairs a standard gyuto body with an angled kiritsuke-style point and flatter edge, optimising the knife for precise tip-led work, scoring, and clean push-cutting strokes. As a double-bevel chef's knife, it serves general-purpose kitchen tasks while rewarding deliberate cutting techniques.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe reactive carbon steel blade is not stainless clad and requires immediate drying and light oiling to prevent rust. Blue 2 steel offers high edge retention and toughness at 61-63 HRC, remaining accessible for sharpening due to its carbon composition. This Itadaki model measures 4.2mm at the heel spine and weighs 236g, placing it on the thicker side of chef's knives. An octagonal stabilised birch burl handle provides a durable grip with intricate natural grain patterns, completing this hand-forged piece from Go Yoshizawa in Aomori.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"K\u0026S - Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46243342549213,"sku":"HATS_B2W2_ITAD_KGY240","price":1192000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/HatsukokoroItadakiBlue2_White2DualCoreDamasccusTsushimeKtipGyuto240mmBirchHandle-20250228-13.jpg?v=1741063839","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/hatsukokoro-itadaki-blue2-white2-dual-core-damasccus-tcushime-k-tip-gyuto-240mm-birch-handle","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
