Its curved profile supports both rocking and push-cut techniques, and the 210 mm length keeps it agile in compact kitchens without sacrificing versatility. Keep the blade flat on the board to protect the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sanmai\u0026nbsp;construction places an SG2 core with stainless steel cladding on both sides. This geometry channels the steel's hardness to the edge while the cladding supports the blade behind the cutting bevel and stabilizes thickness progression through the cut. The wa-handle in olive wood rounds out the build: dense-grained with warm tones of ochre, brown, and green, olive wood is low-porosity and holds up well to daily kitchen use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSG2 (R2)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a stainless powder steel produced through powder metallurgy, with a hardness of 62 to 65 HRC. Its fine, evenly distributed carbides allow the blade to hold a very thin edge over time, with retention that outpaces conventional forged steels in the same category. Sharpening requires more passes on the stone than softer steels, and quality stones make a meaningful difference. In return, the steel is fully stainless: no patina, no reactivity to acidic foods.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRinse and dry after each use.
