The platform also supports and showcases other experienced Indonesian knife makers, making each knife a genuine product of local craft tradition. SanMai construction sandwiches a hard leaf spring carbon steel core between layers of soft iron cladding - combining a hard, keen edge with a tough, flexible body. The kurouchi acid-etched kasumi finish creates a striking contrast between the dark cladding and the polished edge bevel. The K-tip profile adds precision point work to the versatility of a gyuto. The amboyna burl and rosewood handle is warm, grippy, and visually striking - each piece unique due to the natural figuring of the burl.\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 - carbon steel core 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":43932626583843,"sku":"sanmaiktip220","price":229.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/products\/image_09aa3aab-8575-41e0-a76e-2c10ea67e11e.jpg?v=1680094492","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/kitchen-knives-id-sanmai-k-tip-gyuto-230mm-kurouchi-kasumi-amboyna-burl-rosewood-handle","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
