This version keeps the same proven blade people already love, but gives it a completely different personality with a much bolder handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt its core is Aogami Blue #2 carbon steel clad in stainless steel, giving you the sharpness, edge retention, and easy sharpening Blue #2 is known for, while the stainless cladding keeps maintenance much more manageable. The polished Migaki finish stays clean and understated, letting the performance of the blade do most of the talking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith a spine measuring just 1.8 mm, the Kaijin feels incredibly nimble on the board. The thin geometry moves effortlessly through vegetables, proteins, and herbs, while still giving enough stiffness and feedback to feel precise and controlled. The Kiritsuke profile adds a flatter cutting edge and aggressive tip, making it excellent for push-cutting, slicing, and detailed work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor this release, we paired the same popular Kaijin blade with a completely new black and yellow epoxy handle filled with sparkling accents — and it gives the knife a lot more punch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep black base is broken up by bright yellow details and subtle sparkles that come alive under the light. Every handle has its own pattern and variation, giving each knife a more custom, one-of-a-kind feel without taking away from the clean look of the blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt’s the same lightweight, high-performing Kaijin people already love, just with a much louder personality. A great option for anyone who wants serious cutting performance and value, but with a handle that definitely won’t disappear into the knife rack.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Made in Japan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51751884226793,"sku":null,"price":260.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0261\/4368\/6711\/files\/hatsukokoro-kaijin-blue-2-epoxy-spirkle-gyuto-210mm-2311962.png?v=1787977026","url":"https:\/\/kakushin.ca\/products\/hatsukokoro-kaijin-blue-2-epoxy-spirkle-gyuto-210mm","provider":"Kakushin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
