It pairs SG2 powder stainless steel with a san-mai stainless clad construction, offering the abrasion and corrosion resistance of a high-speed steel in a stainless form. The 180mm blade length and 166mm edge suit general cutting, while the wide, stable blade handles hard vegetables and the rounded tip keeps the knife steady on the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade features a Tsuchime hammered finish and a Matt Migaki matte finish. SG2 holds a 62 to 64 HRC hardness, which provides strong edge retention but makes the blade relatively hard to sharpen. The stainless clad construction resists rust, and the blade still wants washing and drying after use. The handle is a coke-bottle shaped western design in Western Maple Burl, with a wider midsection for a secure grip and a tapered rear end for a comfortable hold. The knife weighs 204g, balancing the 2.5mm spine thickness against the 1.1mm tip for a manageable feel in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nigara Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68203083530461,"sku":"NG-SG2TSUMAT-STK180-MB","price":529.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_0332.jpg?v=1792109611","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/nigara-sg2-tsuchime-matt-migaki-santoku-180mm-western-maple-burl","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
