This 240mm profile features a flatter edge optimised for clean slicing strokes and long cuts, while the sharply defined K-tip excels at scoring, detailing, and picking tasks. The Migaki polished finish presents a plain aesthetic with a sandblasted bevel, prioritising function over decorative elements within the Kaijin line.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core is Hitachi Blue 2 carbon steel hardened to 61–63 HRC, offering improved toughness and edge retention through added chromium and tungsten. This san-mai construction uses stainless cladding to protect the reactive carbon core, though the exposed edge requires drying after use to prevent rust. Weighing 177g with a spine measuring 2.4mm at the heel, the knife pairs this geometry with a stabilised blue curly maple octagonal handle and stainless steel ferrule. This combination provides balance and durability for deliberate, tip-led cutting techniques in professional or enthusiast kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47274685366493,"sku":"HST-KAJNB2-KGY24-OTMPSS","price":249000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/Hatsukokoro_Kaijin_Blue_2_K-tip_Gyuto_240-20260118-01.jpg?v=1768697113","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/hatsukokoro-kaijin-blue-2-k-tip-gyuto-240mm-migaki-curly-maple","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
