Produced by Nigara in Aomori, this 180mm blade features san-mai stainless clad construction with a kurouchi tsuchime surface finish. The Bunka profile combines a straighter edge with a reverse tanto tip, facilitating slicing, dicing, and chopping tasks while enabling precision work through its angled point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSG2 powdered steel achieves 62-64 HRC hardness and offers high wear resistance with uniform carbide distribution from the manufacturing process. This stainless clad blade measures 2.5mm at the heel spine and weighs 163g, pairing with an octagonal ebony wa-handle that tapers subtly for grip comfort. The kurouchi tsuchime finish distinguishes this line within Nigara's range, which utilises optimised production procedures shared with their non-kurouchi variants. Users should note that SG2 steel can be relatively hard to sharpen despite its stainless properties and fine edge potential.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nigara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47058651480285,"sku":"NIGA_SGKU_BU180","price":352000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/NigaraSG2KurouchiTsuchimeBunka180mma_535af3ff-1693-4496-b621-e9da695af260.jpg?v=1764133099","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/nigara-sg2-kurouchi-tsuchime-bunka-180mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
