Forged in Echizen by certified traditional craftsman Shiro Kamo, this blade features a kurouchi surface finish and measures 168mm at the edge with a 45mm heel height. The santoku profile suits slicing, dicing, and mincing tasks, offering a controllable chopping experience distinct from more aggressive tip profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAogami Super steel provides high hardness between 62 and 65 HRC with added vanadium for toughness, though the reactive carbon core requires immediate drying and light oiling after use to prevent rust. The blade is thin behind the edge and tapers from a 3.0mm spine at the heel to 1.0mm at the tip, supporting precise cutting performance on dense vegetables. An octagonal teak handle with a black buffalo horn ferrule weighs 132g total, pairing natural wood durability with a traditional Japanese aesthetic that complements the broad profile geometry and expert forging characteristic of Kamo-san's perfected designs.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shiro Kamo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46490420642013,"sku":"KAMO-ASKU-SA165","price":204000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/ShiroKamoASKurouchiSantoku165mma.jpg?v=1749800455","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/shiro-kamo-as-kurouchi-santoku-165mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
