Forged in Nagasaki by fourth-generation smith Kiyonori Maeda, this knife utilises Shimabara volcanic spring water during quenching to achieve the resilience characteristic of the family's swordsmith lineage established in 1895.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis san-mai blade features soft iron cladding over an Aogami Super core and requires immediate drying after use as it is not stainless clad. The kurouchi surface finish covers the 213mm cutting edge, which measures 2.9mm at the heel and tapers to 1.3mm at the tip. Weighing 207g with a 50mm heel height, the gyuto profile suits general-purpose tasks including mincing, slicing vegetables, and disjointing meat. The octagonal Black Chacate handle provides a durable timber grip that polishes to highlight natural grain patterns, pairing functional geometry with the maker's distinct heat treatment and sharpening characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Motokyuuichi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46675639435485,"sku":"HSK-KS-GY21BC","price":185000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/HatsukokoroKurosagiGyuto210mm-20250814-03.jpg?v=1755341565","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/motokyuuichi-kurosagi-as-ku-santoku-165mm-kurouchi-by-hatsukokoro-black-chacate-copy","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
