Forged in Nagasaki by fourth-generation smith Kiyonori Maeda using volcanic spring water quenching, this blade features a kurouchi finish and san-mai soft iron clad construction. The K-tip profile pairs a standard gyuto body with an angled kiritsuke-style point and flatter edge, optimising the knife for push-cutting, long slicing strokes, and detailed scoring work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami Super carbon steel achieves 62-65 HRC hardness through low-temperature heat treatment, providing high edge retention and toughness via added tungsten and vanadium. As a reactive carbon steel blade without stainless cladding, it requires immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent rust. The 210mm blade measures 3.4mm at the heel spine and weighs 194g, presenting a substantial workhorse grind that can be relatively hard to sharpen. This Hatsukokoro line prioritises cutting performance over cosmetics, delivering a functional tool grounded in five generations of Shimabara swordsmith heritage.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motokyuuichi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47253595750621,"sku":"HSK-KS-KGY21BC","price":186000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/HatsukokoroKurosagiBlueSuperKUK-tipGyuto210mm-20260111-02.jpg?v=1768184105","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/motokyuuichi-kurosagi-as-ku-gyuto-210mm-kurouchi-by-hatsukokoro-black-chacate-copy","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
