If you are curious about it, feel free to reach out and ask.  We just try to encourage people to focus on aspects of the knife that are often more important than knowing the steel type- cross-sectional geometry, what kind of performance you can expect from the steel, etc.  Things like this can vary, even with the same steel type.  If you'd like to have a conversation about how you can expect this to work, we are always here and happy to speak with you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyuto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Burnt Chestnut Octagon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Clad\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambidextrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 143mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 27mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 22mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 295mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 279mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.00mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.13mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.60mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.68mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.34mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 55mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 278g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wakui","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":12858704920637,"sku":"KCI270WGTKONR","price":565.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/products\/MN7A8019.jpg?v=1632876965","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/products\/kochi-270mm-kurouchi-damascus-wa-gyuto","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
