We are impressed by this knife series with its fine SLD steel, beautiful finish, very thin blades, and excellent price, earning our warmest recommendation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSLD is a very durable steel that retains its sharpness for a long time, especially when not sharpened too smoothly, allowing the edge to maintain some toothiness. We recommend finishing at 1000 to 3000 grit for both sharpness, bite, and long-lasting edge retention. SLD is SEMI-STAINLESS, meaning it resists rust well, but is not 100% stainless. Over time, the core steel will darken slightly, giving the knife a beautiful contrast between the core steel and the cladding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImportant:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeep in mind that the edge is hard and thin. Therefore, be careful not to subject the edge to stress, especially sideways. When using a Japanese knife with a thin blade, the edge should always be in motion when cutting. Under no circumstances should you push the blade through an ingredient without the edge being in motion. Nor should you twist or wiggle the blade to pry ingredients apart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57775377940828,"sku":"Hikari-150PT","price":96.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/5556\/6940\/files\/hikari-kogyuto-1.jpg?v=1780314501","url":"https:\/\/stage.cleancut.eu\/products\/hatsukokoro-hikari-sld-petty-150mm","provider":"Cleancut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
