Produced by Masuda Kiridashi Factory in Sanjo, this 240mm gyuto features Aogami #1 core steel clad in soft iron damascus with a nashiji surface finish. The blade measures 244mm at the edge with a heel height of 56mm, spine thickness of 3.3mm at the heel tapering to 1.4mm at the tip, and weighs 258g.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami #1 carbon steel achieves 61-64 HRC and requires immediate drying after use as the san-mai construction lacks stainless cladding. This high-carbon composition offers exceptional edge retention and responds well to sharpening while developing a protective patina over time. The octagonal ebony handle features double-metal spacers and is crafted directly by the hamono. Second-generation Traditional Craftsman Takeshi Masuda and his son Yoshihide apply torsion damascus and forge-welding techniques from fifty years of kiridashi production to this kitchen cutlery line, representing a significant transfer of traditional Sanjo craft into contemporary knifemaking.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masuda Yoshihide","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46811588395229,"sku":"MASU_B1DA_GY240","price":836000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_3168.jpg?v=1773288250","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/masuda-blue-1-damascus-gyuto-240mm-ebony-double-spacer-white-marble-horn-ferrule","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
