Deba Japanese kitchen knife Ittetsu Forge-welded Shirogami 2 IJF-11106 15cm

The Ittetsu Deba IJF-11106 is a Japanese kitchen knife with a 150 mm carbon steel Shirogami #2 forge-welded blade. Magnolia wood is used to make the oval-shaped handle. The knife has a single edge. Because carbon steel rusts easily, it needs to be maintained clean and dry at all times to prevent oxidation and discoloration. Wash by hand in warm water, then pat dry. Handmade in Echizen, Japan, are Ittetsu knives.
