Hand-forged by Nigara Hamono in Aomori, Japan, this striking blade showcases a vibrant damascus construction that combines Aogami #2 carbon steel with layers of copper, brass, and stainless steel. The result is a mesmerising blend of colours and geometric patterns unlike anything found in conventional kitchen knives. For us, this may be our favourite knife in terms of aesthetics in our lineup.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBeneath its stunning exterior lies a core of Hitachi Aogami #2 steel, renowned for its good edge retention, toughness and ease of sharpening. In terms of grind, it makes an excellent workhorse with good weight in the blade, great thinness behind the edge and excellent food release. This knife truly has both the looks and performance.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nCompleting the knife is a stabilised birchwood handle, providing a comfortable, secure grip while looking stunning as well.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Type: Gyuto\u003cbr\u003e\nCore: Aogami 2 (Blue 2) Carbon Steel\u003cbr\u003e\nCladding: Stainless Steel Cladding\u003cbr\u003e\nHandle: Stabilised Birch Octagonal Handle\u003cbr\u003e\nSpine Thickness at Heel: 3.1 | 3.4mm\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Height at Heel: 49 | 49mm\u003cbr\u003e\nHRC: 62-63\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 191 | 215g\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Length: 198 | 229mm\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall Length: 345 | 358mm","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"210mm","offer_id":47848147452062,"sku":"IRODORI-RAINBOW210","price":570.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"240mm","offer_id":47848147484830,"sku":"IRODORI-RAINBOW240","price":620.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0478\/6313\/6414\/files\/9c7523671392aaaa852040a986998bed.jpg?v=1781245668","url":"https:\/\/www.semiblack.sg\/products\/hatsukokoro-irodori-blue-2-kurozome-rainbow-damascus-gyuto","provider":"Semiblack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
