Its double-bevel blade and curved profile allow both rocking cuts and push cuts, lifting the blade between each stroke. At this compact length, it handles vegetables, meat and fish on a smaller cutting board. The handle is finished in urushi lacquer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUrushi is the traditional Japanese lacquer. It is applied in successive layers, each of which must cure before the next, so the handle finish is a separate piece of work from the blade. The handle has a smooth, sealed surface, unlike raw wood. As with any lacquer, prolonged soaking and the dishwasher should be avoided, as they can damage it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made of \u003cstrong\u003eGinsan\u003c\/strong\u003e (Silver Steel), a stainless steel whose chromium content, around 13 to 14.5%, gives good corrosion resistance under normal use. It sharpens quickly on water stones and takes a very fine edge for a stainless steel, in few passes. It does not develop a patina and stays bright over time. Regular sharpening on a water stone maintains the edge. Between sharpenings, a few passes on leather realign the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHand wash, then dry the blade and handle after each use. Never place in the dishwasher. Store the knife dry, away from other blades.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Baba Hamono","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67875448225966,"sku":null,"price":550.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0622\/8600\/4398\/files\/kagekiyo-ginsan-gyuto-210mm-urushi-1_3722b243-a334-49e3-8bc6-751893c50e10.jpg?v=1793174699","url":"https:\/\/staysharpmtl.com\/en\/products\/kagekiyo-ginsan-gyuto-210mm-urushi","provider":"Stay Sharp","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
