This 170mm blade features a Kurouchi Tsuchime surface finish and measures 1.8mm at the spine heel, tapering to 1.2mm at the tip with a weight of 150g. The Santoku profile suits slicing, dicing, and mincing tasks, offering a controllable chopping experience distinct from longer gyuto profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami Super steel provides high hardness between 62 and 65 HRC, delivering sharpness and edge retention through increased carbon and tungsten content with added vanadium for toughness. While the stainless cladding protects the blade body, the exposed carbon steel edge requires immediate drying after use to prevent oxidation. The knife pairs this performance-oriented blade with an octagonal ebony handle that features a subtle taper for functional grip. Yu Kurosaki produces this Kokusen line in Takefu, combining artistic hammered finishes with thin behind-the-edge geometry designed for cutting performance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kurosaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47322189594845,"sku":"KS-ASKS-SA170-CM","price":333000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/KurosakiKokusenASSantoku170mm-CurlyMaplea_152133f4-6c7f-458b-a61a-9591eec6300b.jpg?v=1769661751","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/kurosaki-kokusen-as-santoku-170mm-curly-maple","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
