Forged by Go Yoshizawa in Aomori, this blade features a coreless construction with a Kurouchi Tsuchime surface finish. The reactive carbon steel cladding requires immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent rust, as the blade is not stainless clad. This specific profile measures on the thicker side and carries a double bevel edge geometry suited to general purpose kitchen tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue 2 steel offers ease of sharpening and resistance to chipping, achieving a hardness between 61 and 63 HRC. The 170mm Santoku profile facilitates slicing, dicing, and mincing with a controllable chopping motion. An octagonal ebony Wa handle with triple nickel copper spacers and a horn ferrule pairs with the blade, resulting in a total weight of 208g. Measurements include a 48mm heel height, 4.3mm spine thickness at the heel tapering to 1.1mm at the tip, and a 166mm edge length. This piece represents Nigara's integration of inherited Tsugaru sword smith traditions with modern metalworking technology.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"K\u0026S - Sydney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004758544605,"sku":"HATS_B2W2_ITAD_SA170","price":928000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/HatsukokoroItadakiBlue2_White2DualCoreDamasccusTcushimeSantoku170mmj.jpg?v=1735879377","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/hatsukokoro-itadaki-blue2-white2-dual-core-damasccus-tcushime-santoku-170-mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
