This ensures the honyaki knife to have a similar hardness as a regular White 2 kasumi knife. The knife is mirror polished on the hira (where the kanji is engraved), we consider this as a utility choice for a high end single bevel knife, as sharpening the bevel is not mirror polished therefore more suitable for daily use (sharpening).  \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: medium;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoshikazu Ikeda","offers":[{"title":"270 mm","offer_id":42528427671773,"sku":"YOIK_W3WV_SSU270_IW","price":2037000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false},{"title":"300 mm","offer_id":44062963957981,"sku":"YOIK_W3WV_SSU300_IW","price":2468000.0,"currency_code":"KRW","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/products\/a_97fbb100-3b10-46b5-8508-37490df7e874.jpg?v=1640437040","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.co.kr\/en\/products\/yoshikazu-ikeda-%e6%b1%a0%e7%94%b0%e7%be%8e%e5%92%8c-honyaki-western-sujihiki-270mm-ironwood-handle","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
