Forged by certified traditional craftsman Yoshimi Kato at Takefu Knife Village in Echizen, this blade features an SG2 powdered steel core with sanmai stainless cladding and a tsuchime hammered finish inspired by summer thunderstorms. The double-bevel santoku geometry measures 180mm in edge length with a 47mm heel height, suiting slicing, dicing, and mincing tasks where a less aggressive tip offers greater control during chopping.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSG2 steel achieves 62-64 HRC through precise heat treatment, providing wear resistance and fine sharpness that remains stable during extended use, though the powdered metallurgy requires specific sharpening techniques. The blade tapers from 2.3mm at the spine to 0.9mm near the tip, remaining thin behind the edge for clean cutting performance. A coke-bottle shaped western handle crafted from stabilised amboyna burl, acrylic, and G10 provides a tapered rear end and wider midsection for secure grip ergonomics. Weighing 136g with a 360mm total length, this knife pairs artistic Minamo texturing with functional specifications for daily kitchen work.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoshimi Kato Kintaro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48117429043421,"sku":"KT-MINAMO-ST170","price":10167.0,"currency_code":"TWD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0287\/7227\/0217\/files\/DSC_7467.jpg?v=1783057971","url":"https:\/\/www.knivesandstones.com.tw\/products\/yoshimi-kato-sg2-minamo-santoku-180mm","provider":"Knives and Stones","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
