The Kurouchi finish is left from the forge, giving the blade a raw, rustic character that develops with use. Aogami #2 (Blue Paper Steel) is made by adding Chromium and Tungsten to White Steel #2, resulting in improved toughness and edge retention at 61-63 HRC. The Hon-Warikomi construction sandwiches the carbon core between softer iron cladding for durability. The walnut octagonal handle with black pakka ferrule is both beautiful and ergonomic. Made in Tosa, Japan's historic blade-making region.\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 - carbon steel will rust if left wet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe oil if storing long-term\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHone on a leather strop - avoid aggressive ceramic rods on carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSharpen on whetstones (1000\/3000 grit recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore on a magnetic rack or in a saya (blade guard)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Chef \u0026 a knife","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45144830509347,"sku":"kurouchiyanagiba210","price":184.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/1819\/3230\/files\/image_ce768c6d-395d-44db-b5f0-d3b354261a2b.jpg?v=1687263432","url":"https:\/\/chefandaknife.com.au\/products\/yoshimune-yanagiba-kurouchi-210mm-aogami-2","provider":"Chef \u0026 a knife","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
