The blade has a V-Toku2 core, a high-carbon steel that offers an excellent balance of edge retention, toughness and ease of sharpening. The geometry is thin behind the edge, giving the knife a light, responsive feel with excellent precision and very good cutting performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe blade is surrounded by stainless Damascus cladding with the distinctive \"Rainbow Damascus\" finish.

Always wipe the edge dry after use. Over time, the Damascus may also develop a light patina or darken slightly, which is a natural part of the material's ageing process. We recommend drying the blade thoroughly after use and polishing it when necessary. A thin layer of oil helps protect the blade and preserve its beautiful finish.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58781207986524,"sku":"kujaku-santoku","price":245.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/5556\/6940\/files\/kujaku-rainbow-santoku7.jpg?v=1787579771","url":"https:\/\/stage.cleancut.eu\/products\/hatsukokoro-kujaku-santoku-180mm","provider":"Cleancut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
