It features a 271mm edge length and a 155g weight, with a spine that tapers from 2.0mm at the heel to 1.0mm at the tip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is a sanmai construction clad in multi-metal Damascus comprising copper, brass, nickel, and stainless steel, finished with an etched rainbow pattern. The core is V-Toku 2, which Takefu Special Steel lists among its alloy steels (合金鋼系), with 1.05% carbon, 1.25% tungsten and under 0.20% vanadium, hardened to 62-64 HRC. The steel is prone to rust, so it requires immediate washing, thorough drying, and light oiling after use. Sharpening is relatively difficult.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe handle is an octagonal WA profile in Amboyna burl with red, orange, and yellow tones, fitted with a horn ferrule and no spacer. The ferrule may be black or blonde\/marble horn, so check the individual listing for the specific colour. We recommend this sujihiki for fine slicing rather than heavy chopping.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47564323586269,"sku":"HATS-VT2HNTR-SJ270","price":467.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_0894.jpg?v=1792972351","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/hatsukokoro-hinotori-v-toku-2-sujihiki-270mm-rainbow-damascus-finish","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
