This double-bevel gyuto features a 219mm edge length and san-mai construction with a migaki polished finish and sandblasted bevel. The blade core is Hitachi Blue 2 carbon steel hardened to 61-63 HRC, offering improved toughness and edge retention through added chromium and tungsten while remaining relatively easy to sharpen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeighing 164g with spine thickness measuring 2.3mm at the heel tapering to 0.6mm at the tip, this knife suits general-purpose kitchen tasks including mincing, slicing, and chopping. The octagonal WA handle is crafted from dyed and stabilised blue curly maple with a stainless steel ferrule that enhances durability and balance.
