Although the stainless Damascus cladding protects the blade body, the exposed V-Toku 2 edge is not stainless and requires drying after use to prevent rust. The knife weighs 204g and pairs with an octagonal WA handle made from acrylic with a ferrule incorporating thimble and gold flake elements to mimic traditional Japanese WA paper aesthetics. This etched surface finish and handle combination distinguishes the Kujaku line within the Hatsukokoro range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46699419271389,"sku":"HATS-VT2KJK-GY240-PUR","price":339.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_7869.jpg?v=1785131812","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/hatsukokoro-kujaku-v-toku-2-gyuto-240mm-rainbow-damascus-finish-purple","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
