Forged by Yoshihiro Yauji, a Takefu Knife Village member and student of Hideo Kitaoka, this blade features Aogami #2 carbon steel with a soft iron Damascus clad in nimai construction. The 240mm length suits home use and precise slicing tasks, while the kasumi surface finish highlights the artistic forging and excellent fit and finish characteristic of this collaboration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami #2 steel measures 61-63 HRC and contains tungsten and chromium additions that improve toughness and edge retention over white steel variants. This reactive carbon steel requires immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent rust. The blade is thin behind the edge to facilitate clean cuts through seafood with minimal effort. Weighing 164g, the knife pairs its single bevel geometry with an octagonal wa handle crafted from stabilised blue curly maple and a stainless steel ferrule. This handle configuration enhances balance and durability during extended prep sessions involving delicate protein work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoshihiro Yauji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47798136111325,"sku":"YAUJ_B2DA_YA240","price":426000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_4330.jpg?v=1776389162","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/hatsukokoro-x-yoshihiro-yauji-blue-2-damascus-yanagiba-240mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
