This new chapter is especially meaningful as it marks the beginning of Josh’s training under Shehan’s tutelage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from solid 52100 carbon steel with a kurouchi, hammered finish, these knives combine great performance with a handsome, rustic look. Each knife is fitted with a handmade mesquite handle from the New Mexico area. The natural beauty of the wood pairs well with the kurouchi finish and provides a comfortable grip.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally developed for ball bearings, 52100 is known for its fine grain structure, good edge retention, and excellent toughness. As a carbon steel, it will develop a patina with use and requires basic care to prevent rust.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have found these knives to be easy to sharpen, capable of taking a very keen edge, and a pleasure to use. They are ground thin behind the edge, which helps them move smoothly through dense foods. At the same time, they retain a bit more thickness at the spine, helping with food release and giving the knife a solid feel in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGinrei knives are forged, ground, and finished at Shehan's forge in Santa Fe, New Mexico.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-detailed-specs\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gyuto\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSteel Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 52100 Carbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Octagonal Mesquite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mono-Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand Orientation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ambidextrous\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli id=\"tab-measurements\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Height:\u003c\/strong\u003e 29mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 23mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHandle to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 258mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeel to Tip Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 243mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Middle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.41mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine 1cm from the Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.73mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine at Handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.45mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidth of Spine above Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4.15mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness 1\/2 way between the Spine and Edge:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.79mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Height at Heel:\u003c\/strong\u003e 57mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 306g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Shihan Fine Knives","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31501410631741,"sku":"GINREI240WG52100","price":700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/0120\/files\/2S4A2800.png?v=1780087877","url":"https:\/\/www.japaneseknifeimports.com\/products\/ginrei-240mm-52100-kurouchi-wa-gyuto-magnolia-wood","provider":"Japanese Knife Imports","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
