{"product_id":"kikuichi-santoku-kuro18","title":"Kikuichi Kurouchi santoku 180 mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe 180 mm Kurouchi Santoku is a substantial knife that sits comfortably in the hand thanks to its walnut handle. The black, rough outer layer gives the knife a look you simply won't get from a polished blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made up of three layers. The core is white #2 carbon steel, hardened to HRC 62. Around it sits a layer of soft iron that acts as an oxide coating and protects the carbon steel core from rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThat outer layer is exactly what gives the knife its name. Kurouchi literally refers to the black, unfinished skin left on the blade after forging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow this knife is made\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt least four master craftsmen work on a single Kikuichi knife, each handling their own step in the process: from forging to sharpening. Every knife is made by hand, which makes each one a one-of-a-kind piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKikuichi selects its steels for strength, hardness and durability. For this model, that means a core of white #2 carbon steel — a choice that calls for some care but rewards you with exceptional sharpness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eUse\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA carbon steel core stays sharp for a long time, but does need attention to be used properly. Keep the blade dry and never store it wet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e KURO18\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife type:\u003c\/strong\u003e santoku\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 180 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade type:\u003c\/strong\u003e kurouchi\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e white #2 carbon steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of layers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e oxide coating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e HRC 62\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e double-sided\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBevel angle ratio:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50:50\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle material:\u003c\/strong\u003e walnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFerrule material:\u003c\/strong\u003e ebony\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kikuichi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57979243790719,"sku":"858243005227DS","price":352.25,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/5366\/4127\/files\/kikuichi-kurouchi-santoku-180-mm-in-situatie-sfeerbeeld.jpg?v=1786655709","url":"https:\/\/parrotshopping.com\/en\/products\/kikuichi-kurouchi-santoku-180-mm","provider":"Parrot Shopping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
