Produced by Go Yoshizawa in Aomori, this blade features an SG2 powdered steel core within a san-mai stainless clad structure, measuring 168mm at the edge with a 52mm heel height and weighing 174g. The flat edge profile facilitates straight push cuts through vegetables, ensuring full board contact for clean separation without rocking.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SG2 steel achieves 62-64 HRC hardness and offers high wear resistance, though the catalog notes it is relatively hard to sharpen. This specific model belongs to the budget-friendly Nigara SG2 Kurouchi Tsuchime line, which shares optimised production procedures with non-Kurouchi variants. The octagonal ebony handle provides a tapered grip that pairs with the 2.3mm spine thickness at the heel and mid-section, tapering to 0.9mm at the tip. As a stainless clad knife, this nakiri suits users prioritising edge retention and corrosion resistance in a dedicated vegetable preparation tool.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nigara","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47246108983517,"sku":"NIGA_SGHA_NK180_EB","price":343000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_9957.jpg?v=1768177862","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/nigara-sg2-nakiri-180-mm-with-kurouchi-tsuchime-finish-update-pic","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
