Made by Kouki Hashimoto, this gyuto measures 152mm in edge length and weighs 145g, performing mincing, slicing, and chopping tasks across vegetables and meat. The kurouchi surface finish covers the blade, while the geometry remains thin behind the edge to support precise cutting work in a smaller format.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami #2 steel achieves 61-63 HRC hardness and contains tungsten and chromium additions that improve toughness and edge retention over simpler carbon steels. This reactive carbon core requires immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent rust, as the soft iron cladding is not stainless. Sharpening responds well to whetstones due to the steel composition, offering resistance to chipping during routine kitchen prep. The octagonal wa handle is crafted from teak wood with a black buffalo horn ferrule, providing a durable grip that balances the 145g total weight for controlled handling during extended use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kouki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47695430975709,"sku":"KK_B2KU_GY150","price":140000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_3411.jpg?v=1774237411","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/kouki-aogami-2-blue-2kurouchi-gyuto-150mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
