{"product_id":"kagekiyo-aogami-1-kiritsuke-240mm-kuroro","title":"Kagekiyo Aogami #1 Kiritsuke 240mm Kuroro","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt 240 mm, this \u003cstrong\u003ekiritsuke\u003c\/strong\u003e pairs a long blade with a k-tip point, the angled tip specific to this knife type. The length allows long, continuous slicing strokes through vegetables, meat and fish, while the tip handles detail work and precise cuts. The double bevel gives a symmetrical edge, and the blade height leaves room between the fingers and the cutting board.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/lexique#sanmai\"\u003esanmai\u003c\/a\u003e construction uses a \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/lexique#hagane\"\u003ehagane\u003c\/a\u003e core with \u003ca href=\"\/en\/pages\/lexique#jigane\"\u003ejigane\u003c\/a\u003e cladding on both sides. The hard core concentrates hardness at the cutting edge. The softer cladding supports the blade behind the edge and stabilizes the geometry during the cut. The handle is Kuroro.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe core is \u003cstrong\u003eAogami #1 (Blue Steel #1)\u003c\/strong\u003e, a non-stainless carbon steel from Hitachi (Proterial). It is based on Shirogami, with chromium and tungsten added. Its carbon content, between 1.25 and 1.35%, gives longer edge retention than Aogami #2, with slightly lower toughness. On a whetstone, it takes more passes than Shirogami to reach a fine edge, but holds that edge longer between sharpenings. Shirogami remains quicker to sharpen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWipe the blade immediately after each use, especially along the edge where the hagane is exposed. A patina develops normally over time. Apply camellia oil for extended storage and never wash in the dishwasher.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baba Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67875446489262,"sku":null,"price":705.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/8600\/4398\/files\/kagekiyo-aogami-1-kiritsuke-240mm-kuroro-1_cd8c0ee2-8cbf-4d15-92aa-577a9e044780.jpg?v=1793174692","url":"https:\/\/staysharpmtl.com\/en\/products\/kagekiyo-aogami-1-kiritsuke-240mm-kuroro","provider":"Stay Sharp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
