It has a 273mm edge, a 55mm heel height and weighs 249g: a long, substantial blade for bigger cutting jobs and general kitchen work. The blade is 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. It has high abrasion and corrosion resistance but is relatively hard to sharpen, so the edge needs careful maintenance. The stainless clad construction means the blade does not need oiling, though it should be dried after washing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ebony handle, with a horn ferrule, 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":68540021309661,"sku":"SJ-DIAMDMSG2-GY270E","price":798.98,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_1791.jpg?v=1794542193","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.au\/products\/takeshi-saji-sg2-diamond-damascus-gyuto-270mm-marble-horn-ebony-handle","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
