{"type":"firestarter.listing","listing":{"id":"lst_wI03Gvb3","product_name":"Hatsukokoro Kurokaze White #2 210mm Gyuto","category":"Gyuto Knife","description":"Overview\nThe Hatsukokoro Kurokaze Stainless Clad White #2 Gyuto 210mm with Walnut Handle is a tall, confident “daily driver” gyuto built for cooks who want classic carbon-steel sharpness without the constant worry. A Shirogami (White) #2 core gives you that clean, sticky bite on onions, proteins, and herbs, while stainless cladding helps keep maintenance simple in a busy kitchen. The Kurokaze’s taller blade and sturdy workhorse feel also make it especially comfortable for board work—chopping, push-cutting, and long prep sessions.\nThink of it as a practical upgrade into traditional Japanese carbon performance: fast sharpening, crisp feedback, and excellent food release from the tall profile, paired with a handsome walnut wa handle that feels warm and balanced in hand.\nCommon Questions\nQ: Is this knife suitable for home cooks?\nA: Yes—especially if you want a serious upgrade in sharpness and sharpening ease. The stainless cladding reduces day-to-day fuss, and White #2 is famously beginner-friendly on stones. Just remember: the exposed edge is carbon steel, so wipe it dry after use.\nQ: What does “stainless clad” mean if the core is carbon steel?\nA: The outside layers are stainless to resist rust and discoloration. The cutting edge is White #2 carbon steel for maximum sharpness and easy sharpening. You get most of the convenience of stainless with the performance feel of carbon.\nQ: How do I care for it to prevent rust?\nA: Keep it simple: rinse and wipe dry right after use, don’t leave it wet on the board, and store it dry. For extra protection—especially in humid kitchens—use a light coat of Tsubaki (camellia) oil. For quick edge touch-ups between sharpenings, a few gentle passes on a Tokushu Knife leather strop helps keep the bite lively.\nQ: What cutting board should I use to protect the edge?\nA: A softer, knife-friendly board will noticeably extend edge life. If you want a premium option, the Hasegawa Pro Cutting Board is an excellent match for hard Japanese edges.\nSpe","images":["https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/hatsukokoro-kurokaze-stainless-clad-white-2-gyuto-210mm-01.jpg?v=1771769862","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/hatsukokoro-kurokaze-stainless-clad-white-2-gyuto-210mm-04.jpg?v=1771769879","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/hatsukokoro-kurokaze-stainless-clad-white-2-gyuto-210mm-02.jpg?v=1771769879","https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0602/6720/0736/files/hatsukokoro-kurokaze-stainless-clad-white-2-gyuto-210mm-03.jpg?v=1771769879"],"price":229,"currency":"USD","in_stock":true,"inventory_qty":9999,"dynamic_pricing":false,"listed_at":"2026-06-18T20:44:31.448Z"},"share_url":"https://firestarter.network/l/lst_wI03Gvb3","purchase":{"summary":"Live product listing on the Firestarter agent commerce network.
