Forged by Kouki Hashimoto, this santoku features Aogami #2 carbon steel with a kurouchi surface finish and measures 150mm in edge length. The profile suits slicing, dicing, and mincing tasks, offering a controllable chopping experience with a less aggressive tip geometry that appeals to home cooks requiring precise control during food preparation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis san-mai construction uses soft iron cladding over a reactive carbon core, meaning the blade requires immediate drying and light oiling to prevent rust. The Aogami #2 steel achieves 61-63 HRC and contains tungsten and chromium additions that improve toughness and edge retention while maintaining ease of sharpening. Measuring 3.9mm at the heel and tapering to 1.0mm at the tip, the blade is thin behind the edge for efficient cutting performance. Weighing 112g with a 46mm heel height, it pairs with an octagonal WA special handle crafted by the maker. This combination delivers excellent performance in a budget-friendly package for users comfortable maintaining reactive high-carbon steel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kouki","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48125938827485,"sku":"KK_B2KU_PT135","price":3172.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_7652.jpg?v=1783318912","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.tw\/en\/products\/kouki-blue2-kurouchi-petty-135mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
