Forged in Toyama by Nobuo Hanaki, the blade features a ZDP-189 powdered metallurgy stainless core clad in stainless damascus with a mirror polish finish. The san-mai construction is thin behind the edge, supporting precise cutting tasks including mincing, slicing, and chopping vegetables or meat. ZDP-189 achieves 63–66 HRC and offers exceptional edge retention, though this hardness makes sharpening relatively difficult and requires careful technique to avoid chipping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe octagonal wa handle is crafted from stabilised birch burl with a spacer, providing a durable grip that complements the blade’s aesthetic. Weighing between 171g and 193g with a heel height of approximately 48mm, this gyuto suits general-purpose kitchen use where extended sharpness is prioritised over ease of maintenance. The stainless cladding provides corrosion resistance, yet the mirror polish surface requires specific care to maintain its appearance during regular use. As part of Sukenari’s long-standing ZDP-189 Mirror Damascus line, this knife represents the maker’s established expertise in forging demanding powdered steels into functional kitchen tools.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sukenari","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45162310729949,"sku":"SUKE_ZDDA_GY210_Burl","price":723000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/SukenariZDP-189DamascusGyuto210mma.jpg?v=1715310874","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/sukenari-zdp-189-damascus-gyuto-210mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
