{"product_id":"shojin-taru-brotmesser","title":"Shojin Taru Bread Knife","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Shojin Taru 200mm bread knife is designed to deliver clean, precise cuts through everything from crispy crusts and airy crumbs to juicy citrus fruits and delicate sandwich rolls. The long, serrated blade offers high cutting power with full control, allowing you to avoid crushing soft interiors, even with freshly baked or moist pastries.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAt the core of the knife is a layer of VG-10 steel, manufactured in Japan by \u003cem\u003eTakefu Special Steel Co., Ltd.\u003c\/em\u003e This type of steel consists of approximately 1.0% carbon, 15% chromium, as well as well-tuned amounts of molybdenum, cobalt, and vanadium – resulting in a hardness of about 62 HRC. The homogeneous microstructure and the content of fine carbides give the knife long-lasting sharpness, high wear resistance, and excellent rust resistance – even when cutting moist or acidic foods.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe blade consists of 67 layers of stainless steel, 33 of which are on each side of the core. The characteristic Damascus structure is combined with a hammered surface, which reduces friction and resistance with tough crusts, while also giving the knife its visual distinction. The technical interplay of flexibility and strength makes it particularly suitable for effective and controlled cutting of bread and larger vegetables.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe handle is ergonomically designed in a classic oval profile and crafted from Pakkawood sourced from 100% FSC-certified, responsibly managed forests. It features a polished finish with a color depth similar to ebony and a pleasant, natural warmth to the grip. A balanced metal end cap contributes to precise control and balanced weight, while the embedded Shojin logo completes the knife's discreet yet exclusive expression.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e200mm serrated bread knife – ideal for bread, fruit, and vegetables with a crisp crust\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCore of Japanese VG-10 steel – ~62 HRC for lasting sharpness and rust resistance\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e67-layer Damascus construction with hammered surface – technical function and aesthetics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eHandle made of FSC-certified Pakkawood – polished surface and good ergonomics\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMetal end cap with Shojin logo – ensures balance and a mark of quality\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Viretta","offers":[{"title":"20 cm","offer_id":47557325750439,"sku":"VIR-30067","price":130.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/3686\/0583\/files\/0Q9A9953.png?v=1767099442","url":"https:\/\/viretta.eu\/products\/shojin-taru-brotmesser","provider":"Viretta.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
