At 210mm in SK carbon tool steel, this is the sweet spot length for a Japanese chef's knife: long enough for most professional tasks, short enough for confident control and all-day use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Specs\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSteel: SK steel (Japanese high-carbon tool steel)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStyle: Chef's knife (Japanese Gyuto\/Western-influenced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade length: 210mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Hisashige (personal maker's stamp)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: Vintage \/ second-hand - one-of-a-kind piece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHeritage and Character\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 210mm chef's knife is the most versatile length in the professional Japanese knife spectrum - not as demanding as a 240mm or 270mm, but with enough blade to handle large onions, whole fish, and most proteins in one clean pass. SK steel at this length means a blade that sharpens quickly on water stones and holds its edge well through a professional service. Hisashige's personal stamp means one maker was responsible for this knife from start to finish. Paired with the 180mm sibling (2300), this is the second piece of a natural working set from the same maker's hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone regularly on a smooth steel or fine ceramic rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on Japanese water stones (1000\/3000 grit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic rack or in a knife roll - never loose in a drawer\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a Knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55598746403107,"sku":"VTG-HISASHIGE-GY210-2301","price":110.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/5A4F68C9-AC07-44F0-A77C-0E489A619B5C.jpg?v=1789852323","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/hisashige-saku-chefs-knife-210mm-2301","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
