{"product_id":"shibata-tinker-chibi-tank-180mm","title":"Shibata Tinker Chibi Tank 180mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Shibata Tinker Chibi Tank 180mm is a Chinese cleaver featuring an Aogami Super carbon steel core and stainless san-mai cladding, best fit for enthusiasts and professional chefs requiring a tall blade for precision vegetable preparation. This experimental profile from Iron Clad’s Tinker line measures 184mm in edge length with an 87mm heel height, providing substantial surface area for scooping ingredients and executing thin cuts on tall produce. The double-bevel geometry includes a defined tip for scoring and carving tasks, distinguishing it from rectangular nakiri profiles while maintaining the control necessary for heavy-duty chopping without bone contact.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami Super steel achieves 62-65 HRC hardness, offering high edge retention and sharpness characteristic of high-carbon compositions containing tungsten and vanadium. Although clad in stainless steel, the exposed carbon core at the edge requires drying after use to prevent oxidation. The kurouchi surface finish complements the functional construction established by maker Takayuki Shibata in Fukuyama. An octagonal rosewood handle with a synthetic horn ferrule provides an ambidextrous grip suitable for the knife’s 386g weight and 5.5mm spine thickness at the heel, supporting the deep pinch grip often used with Chinese cleavers for precise directional control during extended preparation sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shibata","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47677775347933,"sku":"TK-BRCD-TK180","price":741000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_3478.jpg?v=1773980373","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/shibata-tinker-chibi-tank-180mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
