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.

The Kengata profile features a clipped, sword-like point that sits lower to the cutting board. This lets you perform micro-precision cuts and fine vertical slitting with the tip of the knife without lifting your wrist awkwardly high off the board.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow does Stabilized Wood handle the kitchen environment?\u003c\/b\u003e Natural wood can warp, swell, or crack over time due to humidity and water exposure. Stabilized wood undergoes a technical process where natural wood fibers are deeply bound with synthetic monomers. It retains the luxurious look and tactile warmth of natural wood but behaves like an ultra-durable composite—making it waterproof, crack-proof, and incredibly low maintenance.\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 \u003cb\u003eSeattle, Washington\u003c\/b\u003e, guaranteeing fast domestic transit and seamless customer care.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hado","offers":[{"title":"210 mm","offer_id":49069308281082,"sku":"F-1000771","price":469.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0077\/4399\/5970\/files\/HADO_shiosai_kengata_gyuto_210_stabilized0.jpg?v=1783191119","url":"https:\/\/hasuseizo.com\/products\/hado-shiosai-sg2-powdered-stainless-210mm-kengata-gyuto-stabilized-wood-handle","provider":"Hasu-Seizo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
