This double-bevel blade measures 160mm in edge length with a 34mm heel height and weighs 125g, utilising a round tip that curves upward to allow perpendicular pointing into the cutting board for long slicing cuts through thick pieces despite the shorter blade length.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSG2 steel achieves 62-64 HRC hardness and offers high wear resistance with uniform carbide distribution from its powdered metallurgy, though this composition makes the blade relatively hard to sharpen. The san-mai stainless clad construction features a kurouchi tsuchime surface finish and measures 2.3mm at both the heel and mid-spine, tapering to 1.1mm at the tip. Produced by Nigara in Aomori under master Go Yoshizawa, this knife applies inherited Tsugaru sword smith traditions alongside modern metalworking technology to create a tool specifically designed for separating meat from bone, removing fat and sinew, and cutting through cartilage and joints.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nigara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46668466159837,"sku":"NIGA_SGHA_BC165EB","price":353000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/NigaraSG2KUButcherKnife150mm-20250814-03.jpg?v=1755236913","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/nigara-sg2-ku-butcher-165mm-kurouchi-tsuchme-ebony","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
