He has devoted tremendous time and energy to making the finest knives, which have received praise from knife industry experts from around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs you likely know, Hattori knives – such as the Hattori KD Series Cowry X Damascus Knives and the Hattori Forums FH Series – are recognized as true masterpieces and are praised for being very practical, they are the fruits of Hattori's many years of experience and hard work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e We have closely worked with Hattori to create the Hattori “The Universe Series\". These special edition, limited quantity, 210mm \u003cem\u003eSan-Mai\u003c\/em\u003e Gyuto knives utilize the reputable High Quality Japanese Powdered High Speed Tool Steel, SG-II. Master Hattori carefully selected the materials for these \u003cem\u003eSan-Mai\u003c\/em\u003e (Three-piece laminated) knives: The blade is made with an SG-II Powdered High Speed Tool Steel core that is sandwiched between two layers of hard VG-2 stainless steel. This laminated blade construction provides extra strength and durability for the blade and the high carbon VG-2 stainless steel resists scratches and blade warpage. Hattori carefully selected these steel materials to ensure the creation of an efficient, practical knife that offers high cutting performance and excellent edge retention.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor many years, Master Hattori has been convinced that Linen Micarta is one of the most practical and efficient handle materials, so it is not surprising that a number of his famous knife collections —Including the Cowry X Damascus \"KD Series\" and VG-10 \"Hattori FH Series\"— have featured Linen Micarta Handles. Linen Micarta Handles provide excellent grip, are relatively strong and durable, and also resist shrinkage. The hand crafted Linen Micarta Handles of these knives are beautifully accented with a Turquoise Gem-Composite-stone Spacer and also feature solid stainless steel bolsters and rivets. Each handle is hand contoured to fit your hand comfortably and, to create the perfect weight balance, the full-width blade tang has been tapered down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimple, efficient and beautiful contemporary styling - These are the best words to describe the Hattori Special Edition “The Universe, Earth” Gyuto 210mm (Turquoise Gem-Composite Stone Spacer). The availability of this knife is limited to only 4 Pcs. (Serial No.1 through to No.4).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Gyuto is the Japanese version of the classic Western Chef’s knife. It can be used with a variety of different cutting techniques to achieve a wide range of kitchen tasks and is suitable for cutting the vast majority of meats, fish, vegetables and fruits. The Gyuto is a true multi-purpose knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1373\/2665\/files\/IMG_7984_480x480.jpg?v=1636541548\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eEARTH - Turquoise \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGem-Composite-stone\u003c\/span\u003e Spacer \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eβ LIBRAE - Green Malachite \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGem-Composite-stone\u003c\/span\u003e Spacer \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNEPTUNE - Deep Blue Turquoise \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGem-Composite-stone \u003c\/span\u003eSpacer \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMARS - Red Spiny Oyster \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGem-Composite-stone\u003c\/span\u003e Spacer \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eURANUS - Purple Sugilite Malachite \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGem-Composite-stone\u003c\/span\u003e Spacer \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWHITE DWARF - White Turquoise \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eGem-Composite-stone \u003c\/span\u003eSpacer \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eSpecification\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKnife Model: Hattori \"The Universe Series EARTH\" SG-II San-Mai Special USG-1T Gyuto 210mm (Turquoise)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Material: SG-II San-Mai (SG-II core is sandwiched with VG-2 hard Stainless Steel)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRockwell Hardness (HRc): 62\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlade Grind and Edge Shape: Double Bevel Edge 50\/50\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHandle Material: \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eLinen Micarta \/ Turquoise Gem-Composite-stone Handles \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003ewith Stainless Steel Bolster\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSaya Included: No.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\n\u003ctable height=\"80\" width=\"368\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"width: 524.5px; text-align: center;\"\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #de5009;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGyuto 210mm (8.2\")\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCutting edge length: 210mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Length: 335mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Thickness: 2.4mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Width: 46mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle Length: 118mm\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTotal Weight: 200g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1373\/2665\/files\/KnifeDimension_A_large.jpg?v=1485574723\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eAbout Left Handed Version\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis knife comes with 50\/50 double bevel edge geometry for both right and left handed use. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor your information, Japanese Kitchen knives are generally designed for right hand \u003c\/span\u003euse with a slightly thicker and rounded grinding on the right side blade and a less rounded (almost straight flat) grinding on the left side blade. However, both right and left hander can use the knives that have double bevel edge sharpened 50\/50 without problems. \u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #ff2a00;\"\u003eInstructions \u0026amp; Maintenance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eWe believe the quality and cutting performance of Japanese knives are the best in the world, and hope you enjoy fine craftsmanship and sharp edge with your new knife.
