Forged by Anryu Hamono in Echizen, this double-bevel profile features a 165mm edge length and measures 51mm at the heel. The relatively flat edge ensures full contact with the chopping board during downward motion, facilitating clean separation of ingredients without rocking. This geometry suits precise vegetable preparation where consistent board contact is necessary for complete cuts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade core consists of Hitachi Blue 2 carbon steel hardened to 61-63 HRC, encased in a stainless san-mai cladding that reduces maintenance requirements while retaining a carbon steel cutting edge. A hand-forged tsuchime hammered finish distinguishes the surface. Weighing 187g with a spine thickness of 3.2mm at the heel tapering to 1.7mm at the tip, the knife pairs with an octagonal ebony handle. This traditional wa-handle provides a tapered geometric grip. Blue 2 steel offers high hardness and edge retention characteristics inherent to its tungsten and chromium composition, responding well to sharpening while resisting chipping during standard vegetable tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anryu","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46746903511261,"sku":"ANRY_B2TS_NA170EB","price":278000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/KatsushigeAnryuBlue2TsuchimeNakiriStainlessCladEbonyHandlec_11a72a2c-3bdc-4e05-97b9-f0d011e01856.jpg?v=1757049092","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/katsushige-anryu-blue-2-tsuchime-nakiri-stainless-clad-ebony-handle","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
