{"product_id":"vonhelmick-x-kenji-shi-toku","title":"Vonhelmick X Kenji Shi-toku","description":"\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eThe perfect knife didn't exist, so I set out to make it with master bladesmith Gordon Hanson of Vonhelmick Knives. The \u003cem\u003eshi-toku\u003c\/em\u003e is the result of five years of development, design, and testing. the perfectly balanced blade is designed to combine the chopping, mincing, and slicing versatility of a Japanese santoku blade, with the curved tip of a Western chef's knife which gives it even smoother motion and the ability to rock-chop. The handles are cut from a 200 year-old tree in McMinnville with banding in my signature Golden Yolk and Guava Pink colors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"\"\u003eHand-made in Gordon's Oregon forge, it's crafted from Japanese shiro 2 high carbon steel for excellent edge retention and sharpenability. The profile is nimble enough for fine prep, sturdy enough for daily heavy work, and shaped to feel natural in the hand for long cooking sessions. This is a true knife nerd or collector's knife. One that you'll admire every time you use it, or when you pass it on to the next generation of cooks. Each knife in the very limited runs is a unique work of craftsmanship and comes stamped with a number and a signed a certificate of authenticity to prove it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vonhelmick","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52822396240148,"sku":"AFF-KTU-VONHELMICK-SHITOKU-V1","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0945\/1628\/1620\/files\/vonhelmic-kenji-knife-2.webp?v=1784581561","url":"https:\/\/shop.kenjilopezalt.com\/products\/vonhelmick-x-kenji-shi-toku","provider":"Kenji López-Alt","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
