This knife reflects the deep <strong>You say<\/strong> the city's tradition of blacksmithing, where each knife is shaped by the hands of a master craftsman, guided by decades (if not centuries) of experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Key features:<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Honyaki hardening<\/strong> - is one of the most sophisticated and prestigious knife hardening techniques in Japan. By using the clay coating technique and water hardening (mizuyaki), the blade acquires a good hardness (about 62-64 HRC) on the blade and therefore maintains its excellent sharpness for a long time. Meanwhile, the pentis remains softer, which prevents possible breakage. This method is reminiscent of the production of Japanese swords (katanas).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Aogami #2 (Blue Steel #2)<\/strong> - is a high quality carbon steel enriched with tungsten and chromium. This gives the knife an exceptional sharpness, durability and a clean cut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Form of Gyuto<\/strong> - A versatile chef's blade, perfect for vegetables, meat or fish. The gentle curve allows both chopping and slicing movements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Octagon (hakkaku) handle<\/strong> - made of luxurious dark wood for a safe, ergonomic and balanced grip. Suitable for both right- and left-handed users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd39 <strong>Unique hamon pattern<\/strong> - Honyaki hardening creates a subtle but eye-catching linear pattern on the blade that shows where the clay layer ends - a real artistic touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Recommendations for maintenance:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>As this is a Honyaki knife in carbon steel, it is recommended:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Clean and dry after each use<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Use only suitable sharpening stones (recommended: natural Japanese stones)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not store in a humid environment<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>This knife is not just a kitchen tool, but <strong>work of art<\/strong>for professionals or enthusiasts who appreciate sharpness, heritage and perfection in every cut.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>Dimensions and weight<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Blade height 45 mm<\/li>\n<li>Blade length 162 mm<\/li>\n<li>Blade thickness 2.5 mm<\/li>\n<li>Handle length 138 mm<\/li>\n<li>Overall length 136<\/li>\n<li>Weight 173 g<\/li>\n<li>Handle: stabilised wood and buffalo horn. <strong>There is a gap of several mm between the blade and the handle.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Steel Aogami #2<\/li>\n<li>Can be used by right- or left-handed people<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":4984,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[24],"product_tag":[333,361],"class_list":{"0":"post-4981","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-knifes","7":"product_tag-aogami","8":"product_tag-gyuto","9":"product_shipping_class-iprastas","11":"first","12":"outofstock","13":"shipping-taxable","14":"purchasable","15":"product-type-simple"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/4981","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4981"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4984"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4981"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=4981"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=4981"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jnats.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=4981"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
