The platform also supports and showcases other experienced Indonesian knife makers, making each knife a genuine product of local craft tradition. Leaf spring carbon steel is a high-carbon recycled steel prized for its toughness and ability to take a keen edge - a material long favoured by Indonesian bladesmiths. The kurouchi finish is left intact from the forge, giving the blade a raw, honest character. The K-tip profile - with its clipped, angled tip - adds precision point work to the versatility of a gyuto, making it equally capable at slicing proteins and fine vegetable work. The full jatiwood octagonal handle is warm, grippy, and distinctly Indonesian.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCare and Maintenance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only - never dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after use - leaf spring carbon steel will rust if left wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing for extended periods\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExpect a natural patina to develop with use - this is normal and protective\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not cut frozen food or bones - the edge will chip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen with a whetstone to maintain the edge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in the included saya when not in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":39964610297934,"sku":"K-TipGyuto230kurouchi","price":187.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/73B5DB13-7F14-4904-B93C-E2B33D2185E1.jpg?v=1750902071","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/kitchen-knives-id-k-tip-gyuto-230mm-kurouchi-full-jatiwood-handle","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
