It features a 245mm edge, 50mm heel height, and a 203g weight, making it a substantial tool for general-purpose kitchen work. The blade is constructed in san-mai stainless clad, with an SG2 core and diamond damascus layers, finished with an etched surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe SG2 core is a powdered stainless high-speed steel from Takefu Special Steel, hardened to 62 to 64 HRC. This steel offers high abrasion and corrosion resistance but is relatively hard to sharpen, requiring careful maintenance to preserve the edge. The stainless clad construction means the blade does not require oiling, though it should be dried after washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ebony handle pairs with the damascus blade. Saji, a certified traditional craftsman, applies traditional forging methods to this modern steel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Takeshi Saji","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68540034744541,"sku":"TAKE-SG2DMDA-GY210E","price":722.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_1816.jpg?v=1794542618","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/takeshi-saji-sg2-diamond-damascus-gyuto-240mm-ebony-handle","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
