It is the classic veg prep knife with both good breadth and width. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSTEEL: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/sg2\" style=\"color: black;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eSG2\u003c\/a\u003e or R2. These are modern powder steels and as the name suggested are formed from mixture of powdered elements heated and pressed together. This allows for very precise recipes to be followed. The steels themselves have the ability to be hardened to above 65 on the Rockwell scale giving them excellent edge retention. This does come at a slight cost in that they can be slightly difficult to sharpen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFINISH: \u003ca style=\"color: black;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/damascus\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eDamascus\u003c\/a\u003e or suminagashi. This type of finish is made by creating a Kitaeji, which is produced by repeatedly folding\/stacking then compressing two different steels until they create a laminated pattern. This can then be manipulated in various ways to produce the maker’s desired pattern effect. This material is then clad around the core metal of the blade as an elaborate protective layer for the core steel - thus giving the knife a beautiful and striking appearance. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHANDLE: Octagonal Walnut handle with black Buffalo horn ferule\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRANGE: Anmon\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBLADE LENGTH: 180mm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMAKER: \u003ca style=\"color: black;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/collections\/nigara\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eNigara Hamono\u003c\/a\u003e - Japan\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBEST FOR: Top of the line knives in crazy steels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese knives are hand-forged so there may be slight variations in measurements and finishes.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"H\u0026K","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57930090447179,"sku":"NI-SG-S180ANMN","price":420.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1058\/3277\/6011\/files\/B6BBE929-B201-4E9D-BA48-B9B05A52E207.jpg?v=1786033241","url":"https:\/\/www.kitchenprovisions.co.uk\/products\/santoku-knife-sg2-powder-steel-anmon-damascus-finish-wa-handle-nigara","provider":"Kitchen Provisions ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
