We are impressed by this knife series with its fine SLD steel, beautiful finish, very thin blades, and excellent price, earning our warmest recommendation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSLD is a very durable steel that holds its edge for a long time, especially when not polished too brightly, allowing the edge to retain some bite. We recommend finishing at 1000 to 3000 grit for both sharpness, bite, and long edge retention. SLD is SEMI-STAINLESS, meaning it resists rust well but is not 100% stainless. Over time, the core steel will therefore darken slightly, giving the knife a beautiful contrast between the core steel and the cladding.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eImportant:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note that the edge is hard and thin. Therefore, be careful not to subject the edge to stress, especially sideways. When using a Japanese knife with a thin blade, the edge should always be in motion when cutting. Under no circumstances should you push the blade through an ingredient without the edge being in motion. Nor should you twist or wiggle the blade to pry ingredients apart.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57775377482076,"sku":"Hikari-130PT_2mm","price":89.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1023\/5556\/6940\/files\/hikari-pt.jpg?v=1780314491","url":"https:\/\/cleancut.eu\/products\/hatsukokoro-hikari-sld-petty-130mm-2mm","provider":"Cleancut","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
