Forged in Toyama by Nobuo Hanaki, this blade utilises san-mai stainless clad construction with a migaki surface finish. The SG2 core measures 62-64 HRC and provides excellent edge retention and wear resistance through uniform carbide distribution inherent to powdered metallurgy. This specific steel composition requires dedicated sharpening effort due to its hardness and wear characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 240mm gyuto profile serves general purpose kitchen tasks including mincing, slicing, and chopping vegetables or meat. Blade geometry features a 50mm heel height, 2.5mm spine thickness at the heel tapering to 1.0mm at the tip, and weighs 195g. The octagonal ebony handle offers a tapered geometric grip profile crafted from a single piece of wood. As a stainless clad san-mai blade, this knife resists corrosion and simplifies maintenance relative to reactive carbon steels.
