Part of the renowned Shiosai (\"sound of the tide\") series, this knife is forged from ultra-premium \u003cb\u003eSG2 (Super Gold 2) Powdered Stainless Steel\u003c\/b\u003e and brought to an elite hardness of \u003cb\u003e64 HRC\u003c\/b\u003e.

Simply hand-wash and wipe it dry along with your blade after use. To keep the golden grain looking vibrant and prevent the wood from drying out over the years, we recommend occasionally rubbing the handle with a small amount of food-safe mineral oil or beeswax.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhere is this knife shipped from?\u003c\/b\u003e All our Hado inventory is fully stocked, quality-checked, and shipped directly from our warehouse in the Seattle area, guaranteeing fast domestic transit and seamless customer care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hado","offers":[{"title":"210 mm","offer_id":49069355991290,"sku":"F-1000774","price":389.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0077\/4399\/5970\/files\/HADOshiosaikengatagyuto210mmolive0.jpg?v=1783457833","url":"https:\/\/hasuseizo.com\/products\/hado-shiosai-sg2-powdered-stainless-210mm-kengata-gyuto-olive-wood-handle","provider":"Hasu-Seizo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
