Forged and sharpened by Nigara under the Hatsukokoro Yorokobi line, this 240mm profile measures 228mm in edge length with a 51mm heel height and weighs 235g. The blade features a kurouchi surface finish over stainless damascus cladding, presenting a distinct visual character developed specifically for this collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHitachi SLD steel at 62-64 HRC contains 1.5% carbon and 12% chromium, offering edge retention through hard carbides formed by molybdenum and vanadium while remaining less maintenance-demanding than classic carbon steels. Although classified as stainless clad, the semi-stainless core requires extra care to prevent rusting during kitchen use. The octagonal WA handle is crafted from stabilised birch burl with a spacer, providing durability and intricate grain patterns. Spine thickness measures 3.1mm at the heel, tapering to 0.8mm at the tip, supporting general-purpose tasks including mincing, slicing vegetables, and cutting meat.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45526697509085,"sku":"HT-YROSLDCOPD-GY240KUBR","price":583000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/Hatsukokoro_x_Nigara_Yorokobo_SLD_Copper_Coloured_Damascus_Gyuto_240mm_Birch_Handle-20240725-05.jpg?v=1721870043","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/hatsukokoro-x-nigara-yorokobo-sld-copper-coloured-damascus-gyuto-240mm-birch-handle","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
