Although this knife is made from a semi-stainless steel cutting core, the core steel on the cutting edge may patina and change color over time. This is normal and not a defect as the knife develops this protective patina. This knife is made from semi-stainless steel with stainless steel cladding, so it will not rust as easily as a full carbon steel knife, but care must still be taken to preserve its beauty and performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hatsukokoro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48419198566630,"sku":null,"price":159.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0823\/9608\/6502\/files\/2_7734b372-f9d4-4e9b-b19f-55bded39cb12.jpg?v=1790010983","url":"https:\/\/gyuto.com\/products\/hatsukokoro-hikari-sld-3-layer-nakiri-160mm","provider":"Gyuto.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
