{"product_id":"ohishi-shirogami-damascus-santoku-165mm","title":"Ohishi damascus shirogami#2 santoku 165mm","description":"\u003cp\u003eHand-forged by Tadafusa hamono in Sanjo, Japan for the Ohishi brand, this 165mm santoku has a shirogami#2  core at 62 HRC with soft iron damascus cladding. The santoku excels at precision slicing and dicing across vegetables, proteins, and herbs. Light and nimble, it won't fatigue your hand during extended prep work. The whole blade gains character as it patinas over time. Shirogami takes a keen edge and sharpens easily on stones. An all-purpose Japanese kitchen knife that delivers well above its price point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandcrafted in Sanjo, Japan by Tadafusa hamono\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e165mm (6.5\") cutting edge, 47.7mm heel height\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShirogami core (~62 HRC) with soft iron damascus cladding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOctagonal zelkova handle with buffalo horn ferrule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor left- and right-handed users\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Japanese multipurpose knife for cooks taking their first step into carbon steel -- damascus cladding and shirogami performance at an accessible price.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca title=\"Ohishi knives\" href=\"https:\/\/zahocho.com\/collections\/akifusa-ohishi\"\u003eOhishi\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlacksmith:\u003c\/strong\u003e Tadafusa hamono\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProducing Area:\u003c\/strong\u003e Sanjo, Japan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife type:\u003c\/strong\u003e santoku\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e damascus\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCore steel:\u003c\/strong\u003e shirogami#2\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHRC:\u003c\/strong\u003e ~62\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSteel type:\u003c\/strong\u003e carbon steel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCladding:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft iron damascus clad\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlade and Handle Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOverall length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 308mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade length (heel to tip):\u003c\/strong\u003e 168mm (6.6\")\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade height at heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47.7mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpine thickness:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eat the handle: 4.1mm\u003cbr\u003eat the heel: 2.6mm\u003cbr\u003emidway: 1.3mm\u003cbr\u003e1cm from the tip: 0.6mm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 125g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEdge\/bevel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 50:50\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle:\u003c\/strong\u003e octagonal zelkova with buffalo horn ferrule\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHand orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e ambidextrous\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSaya \/ sheath:\u003c\/strong\u003e none\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background:#f5f5f5; padding:8px 24px; margin-top:16px; border-radius:6px; font-size:0.85em;\"\u003e\n  \u003cstrong\u003eNotes:\u003c\/strong\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003eEach knife is hand-forged, so no two are exactly alike.
