Featuring white plumage on its body and a red head, the bird has been a part of Japanese folklore for generations. As this series is made in Sanjo, Niigata, the name Toki has significance. These knives are made by hand in a medium-sized workshop, focused on making user-friendly knives. Their knives tend to be a medium thickness, not super thin, but not like a super thick workhorse. The wide bevel designs work well for food release. And, because we love burnt chestnut handles, and they also come from Sanjo, the series features octagonal burnt chestnut handles with water buffalo ferrules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis series of Toki knives features an SLD (semi-stainless) core with soft stainless cladding. Semi-stainless knives are generally easier to care for than carbon steel knives, but do require some additional care, making sure to keep them clean and dry when not in use, and wiping periodically when cutting acidic foods. They are just less reactive than carbon steel knives. They will, however, form a patina. We recommend \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/products\/flitz-metal-polish?_pos=1\u0026amp;_sid=153459790\u0026amp;_ss=r\" title=\"Flitz Metal Polish\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eFlitz\u003c\/a\u003e to clean off any light rust (or patina, if you don't like it) as soon as you see it (you can leave the patina if you don't mind it). SLD is known for good edge retention, toughness and durability, and relative ease of sharpening when compared to many stainless steels.\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 SLD Semi-Stainless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal Burnt Chestnut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stainless 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 138mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 232mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 213mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.09mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.01mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.25mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.11mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2.07mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 172g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Tadafusa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41094192726077,"sku":"TOK210WGYSLDTSUCNR","price":267.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/files\/2S4A3865.png?v=1725220128","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.live\/products\/toki-stainless-clad-sld-tsuchime-210mm-wa-gyuto","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
