Made by Mazaki using Hitachi Blue 1 steel, this mizu-honyaki construction features a reactive carbon blade that requires wiping and drying after use to prevent rust and develop a protective patina. The 240mm edge length suits mincing, slicing vegetables, cutting meat, and disjointing large cuts within a multi-purpose kitchen role.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade measures 4.7mm at the heel, 2.0mm at mid, and 0.9mm at the tip, with a 54mm heel height and 244g total weight. Blue 1 steel contains 1.3% carbon and 1.75% tungsten, achieving 61-64 HRC for edge retention and toughness while remaining responsive to sharpening. This non-stainless composition means the knife is not clad in stainless steel and demands consistent maintenance to preserve condition. The gyuto profile provides acute geometry typical of Japanese cutlery, distinguishing it from flatter Western profiles through sharper edge angles enabled by harder steel grades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mazaki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47975277723869,"sku":"MAZA_B1HON_GY225","price":2313000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_6447.jpg?v=1780038732","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/mazaki-blue-1-honyaki-gyuto-225mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
