This 180mm santoku profile suits general purpose kitchen tasks including slicing, dicing, and mincing, measuring 46mm in heel height with a spine thickness of 3.4mm at the heel tapering to 1.0mm at the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlue 2 steel achieves 61-63 HRC hardness and contains 1.1% carbon with tungsten additions that form hard carbides for edge retention while maintaining sharpening ease and chip resistance. The san-mai construction uses reactive soft iron damascus cladding rather than stainless steel, requiring immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent rust formation on both the exposed core and etched damascus layers. Weighing 160g with a double bevel edge, this knife pairs the traditional cutting performance of Aogami #2 with the visual distinction of kurouchi surface texture and black chacate timber that polishes to highlight subtle grain patterns.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45667384656093,"sku":"HS-KUKG-B2KU-ST180","price":204000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/Hatsukokoro_Kumokage_Blue_2_Kurouchi_Damascus_Santoku_180mm-20240907-01.jpg?v=1725679793","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/hatsukokoro-kumokage-blue-2-kurouchi-damascus-santoku-180mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
