{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_LiJNpvGU","product_name":"Hatsukokoro Hikari SLD Migaki Gyuto 210mm","category":"Gyuto Knife","description":"Overview\nThe Hatsukokoro Hikari SLD Migaki Gyuto 210mm is a classic Japanese chef knife built around a laser-thin SLD semi-stainless core, clad in stainless steel and finished in a clean migaki (polished/satin) grind. Forged for Hatsukokoro in Japan, it combines light weight, a very thin spine, and a tall, versatile gyuto profile that feels at home in both professional kitchens and serious home setups.\nAt 210mm, this gyuto sits in the “just right” zone—long enough for proteins and tall veg prep, but still compact and nimble on smaller boards. A fine, thin grind and 50/50 edge let it glide through onions, herbs, and proteins without wedging, while the tall heel gives you plenty of knuckle clearance for push cuts and chopping. The Hikari feels like a true laser: fast, low-friction, and precise.\nThe SLD core steel sits in a sweet spot between carbon and stainless. Hardened to roughly 61 HRC, it holds an edge longer than most mainstream stainless knives but is still easier to sharpen than many high-alloy steels. Stainless cladding keeps day-to-day maintenance simple, while the core will slowly take on a protective patina over time if you wipe, dry, and store it properly.\nAn octagonal wa handle completes the package, giving you a secure pinch grip, a neutral balance point around the heel, and a refined, minimalist aesthetic that suits both home and professional environments. If you’ve been wanting a laser-style Japanese gyuto that’s still practical to care for, the Hikari SLD 210mm slots in beautifully.\nCommon Questions\nQ: Is this knife suitable for home cooks, or is it just for professionals?\nA: It works great for both. The 210mm length is the standard “do-everything” chef-knife size, and the light weight plus thin grind make it easy to control. Home cooks will appreciate how little effort it takes to move through vegetables and proteins, while pros will enjoy the speed and precision for long prep sessions.\nQ: How reactive is SLD steel—do I have to worry about rust?\nA: ","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/hatsukokoro-hikari-sld-migaki-gyuto-210mm-03_4cb19116-ad24-4e51-b94f-73126de990f0.jpg?v=1780748163","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/hatsukokoro-hikari-sld-migaki-gyuto-210mm-02_8fb2b1ac-756e-4dae-851f-e49d417c9526.jpg?v=1780748163","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/hatsukokoro-hikari-sld-migaki-gyuto-210mm-01_f738abc3-141a-42f2-ad5f-c305c972175a.jpg?v=1780748163"],"price":149,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:44:30.373Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_LiJNpvGU","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
