Please review images carefully, as cosmetic blemishes may be present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCrafted by master knife sharpener Shibata Takayuki, the Koutetsu line represents the pinnacle of Japanese cutlery artistry. Named after ironclad warships which their distinctive blade profiles resemble, these knives harness the exceptional properties of SG2 powdered stainless steel. This metallurgy achieves a remarkable balance of razor-sharp cutting performance comparable to high-carbon steels, while eliminating concerns about rusting that typically accompany traditional high-carbon blades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe SG2 steel features a sophisticated composition of carbon, chromium, tungsten, molybdenum, and vanadium, resulting in a uniform microstructure that outperforms conventional forged steels. With an impressive hardness rating of 62-64 HRC, these knives maintain their edge through extended use—a quality particularly valued by professional chefs and serious home cooks alike. While they may require more effort to sharpen, the exceptional edge retention and perfect balance of properties make Koutetsu knives ideal for precision cutting tasks where both sharpness and durability are essential.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKnife Type: Gyuto\u003cbr\u003eSteel Type: SG2 (Stain resistant steel)\u003cbr\u003eBlade Hardness: HRC 62-63\u003cbr\u003eBlade Type: Double edged blade\u003cbr\u003eBlade Length: 210mm \u003cbr\u003eBlade Thickness: 2mm (0.1\")\u003cbr\u003eFerrule Material: Pakka wood\u003cbr\u003eHandle Material: Jarrah\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUse and Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Do not attempt to cut, hit or chop frozen products or bones.
