This latest line showcases his trademark extremely thin taper and immaculate fit and finish - qualities that make these knives effortless, precise, and deeply satisfying to use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade features a arrow-shaped tsuchime (hammered) pattern, inspired by the look of a thunderstorm. Beyond its striking appearance, this textured finish reduces drag and helps food release cleanly from the blade. Paired with Kato’s hamaguri (convex) edge grind, the knife glides smoothly through ingredients while maintaining strength and stability at the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAt the core is SG2 powdered stainless steel, hardened to around 63 HRC. This modern steel delivers excellent edge retention and high wear resistance, while remaining fully stainless and easy to live with in a professional or home kitchen. It holds a fine, sharp edge for a long time and performs with consistency across long prep sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn octagonal ebony handle with a white spacer completes the knife, offering a comfortable, balanced grip and a clean, understated look that complements the blade’s quiet confidence.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Type: Kiritsuke\u003cbr\u003e\nCore: SG2 \/ R2 Powdered Stainless Steel\u003cbr\u003e\nCladding: Stainless Steel Cladding\u003cbr\u003e\nHandle: Ebony Octagonal Handle with White Ring\u003cbr\u003e\nSpine Thickness at Heel: 2.1mm\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Height at Heel: 47mm\u003cbr\u003e\nHRC: 62-63\u003cbr\u003e\nWeight: 161g\u003cbr\u003e\nBlade Length: 210mm\u003cbr\u003e\nOverall Length: 358mm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yoshimi Kato","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46514700386462,"sku":"KATOHYOSG2-210KIRI","price":500.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0478\/6313\/6414\/files\/350623ce20686dd7b4e0d4c0aa9b9e73.jpg?v=1772437127","url":"https:\/\/www.semiblack.sg\/products\/yoshimi-kato-hyo-sg2-tsuchime-kiritsuke-210mm","provider":"Semiblack","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
