It features a Blue 2 (Aogami #2) carbon steel core clad in stainless steel using a sanmai construction, finished with a traditional black Kurouchi scale. The blade is paired with an octagonal Wenge wood handle and a black ferrule, creating a sturdy profile designed for butchering tasks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis double-bevel Deba is best fit for pro chefs and enthusiasts who require a blade for breaking down whole fish and poultry. The thick spine and tall heel provide the necessary weight and strength for bone-in work, while the K-tip profile offers a slightly longer cutting edge than typical Deba. As a carbon steel knife, it requires regular cleaning, drying, and oiling to prevent rust, though the stainless cladding aids in maintenance. The steel core, produced by Hitachi Special Steel, is hardened to 61–63 HRC, offering high edge retention and ease of sharpening on waterstones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMeasurements include a 154mm edge length, a 51mm heel height, and a total weight of 279g. The blade width tapers from 7.7mm at the heel to 2.2mm near the tip. Users should avoid cutting hard bones or using a dishwasher, as the wood handle and carbon core require careful handling to maintain integrity.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47895529816285,"sku":"HATS_KRKZ_W2_KDE150","price":169.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_5045.jpg?v=1778208852","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/hatsukokoro-kurokaze-blue-2-kurouchi-k-tip-deba-150mm-double-bevel","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
