{"product_id":"kikuichi-utility-wga13","title":"Kikuichi WG utility knife 130 mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eOne hundred and thirty millimetres is the length at which a knife becomes universal: too big for peeling alone, too small to serve as a chef's knife. The WG Utility fills that gap and is light, nimble and thin enough to work with all day long.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eBlade construction\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core is made of stainless VG1 steel, hardened to HRC 60. That gives the knife hardness and strength without making it heavy, and with proper use the edge stays sharp for a long time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAround that core lies soft stainless steel. Together they form three layers, allowing the blade to be paper-thin while still remaining sturdy. The soft outer layer also gives the WG series its characteristic look.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWestern shape, Japanese origins\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe knife has a Western appearance on a Japanese foundation. If you're used to European kitchen knives, the switch is a small one. And you get the steel quality and thin grind of a Japanese knife into the bargain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow this knife is made\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eBehind every Kikuichi knife stand at least four masters, each specialised in one part of the process. The forging is done by a different pair of hands than the sharpening, and that makes every single piece unique.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKikuichi selects its steels for strength, hardness and durability. For the WG series, that choice fell on stainless VG1, which allows for a thin blade without sacrificing sturdiness.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel code:\u003c\/strong\u003e WGA13\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife type:\u003c\/strong\u003e utility knife, all-purpose\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 130 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade type:\u003c\/strong\u003e WG\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e VG1\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 soft stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardness:\u003c\/strong\u003e HRC 60\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 mahogany\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kikuichi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57979244020095,"sku":"858243005586DS","price":125.88,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0936\/5366\/4127\/files\/kikuichi-wg-utility-130-mm-in-situatie-sfeerbeeld.jpg?v=1786655713","url":"https:\/\/parrotshopping.com\/en\/products\/kikuichi-wg-utility-knife-130-mm","provider":"Parrot Shopping","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
