This double-bevel nakiri profile has a relatively flat edge designed for straight push cuts through vegetables, ensuring full contact with the chopping board to produce clean slices without rocking. The blade measures 165mm in length with a 50mm heel height and weighs 207g, featuring spine thicknesses of 2.9mm at the heel, 2.1mm at mid, and 1.7mm at the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue 2 steel achieves 61-63 HRC and contains chromium and tungsten additions that improve toughness and edge retention while maintaining ease of sharpening. As this knife is not stainless clad, the reactive san-mai construction requires immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent rust. The kurouchi surface finish and etched damascus pattern provide distinct visual character, though the textured cladding can be harder to maintain than polished finishes. Black Chacate timber offers deep brown to black coloration with fine texture and durability, polishing to highlight subtle grain patterns on the octagonal wa handle.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45667382821085,"sku":"HS-KUKG-B2KU-NK165","price":195000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/Hatsukokoro_Kumokage_Blue_2_Kurouchi_Damascus_Nakiri_165mm-20240907-01.jpg?v=1725679758","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/hatsukokoro-kumokage-blue-2-kurouchi-damascus-nakiri-165mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
