This 210mm blade measures 51mm at the heel with spine thicknesses of 2.9mm at the heel, 1.8mm at mid, and 1.2mm at the tip, weighing 169g in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami #2 steel achieves 61–63 HRC and contains tungsten and chromium additions that improve toughness and edge retention while remaining responsive to sharpening. The san-mai construction uses reactive soft iron cladding with a kurouchi surface finish, requiring immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent oxidation. The grind is on the thicker side, supporting a workhorse character suited to deliberate cutting techniques where the sharply defined k-tip excels at scoring, detailing, and picking tasks alongside general preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn octagonal Black Chacate handle provides a durable timber grip with fine texture and deep brown to black coloration that polishes to highlight subtle grain patterns. This traditional WA handle shape pairs with the forward-biased balance typical of this profile, complementing the flatter edge geometry optimised for clean slicing strokes. The combination of reactive carbon steel construction and specific K-tip geometry suits users who maintain their tools actively and value precise control during detailed prep work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46022114181341,"sku":"HT-KRGN-B2KU-GY210BC","price":167000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/HatsukokoroKuroganeBlue2KurouchiGyuto210mmi.jpg?v=1738301341","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/hatsukokoro-kurogane-blue2-kurouchi-bunka-165mm-black-chacate-copy","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
