Produced by Masuda Kiridashi Factory in Sanjo, this blade features Aogami #1 core steel clad in soft iron damascus with a nashiji surface finish. The san-mai construction lacks stainless cladding, meaning the reactive carbon steel requires immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent rust and develop a protective patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis gyuto measures 223mm at the edge with a 55mm heel height and weighs 237g. Spine thickness tapers from 3.4mm at the heel to 2.4mm mid-blade and 0.8mm at the tip. Blue 1 steel offers high carbon and tungsten content for edge retention and toughness, sharpening readily to a fine edge. The octagonal ebony handle features double-metal spacers and is crafted directly by the hamono. This knife represents a significant pivot where traditional torsion damascus and forge-welding techniques from kiridashi making are applied to kitchen cutlery, combining mold-industry precision with established blacksmithing methods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Masuda Yoshihide","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47564333875421,"sku":"MASU_B1KUDA_GY220","price":928000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_3202.jpg?v=1773288953","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/masuda-yoshihide-blue-1-kurozome-damascus-gyuto-220mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
