Deba Japanese kitchen knife Ittetsu Forge-welded Shirogami 2 IJF-11104 12cm

The Ittetsu Deba IJF-11104 is a Japanese kitchen knife with a 120 mm carbon steel Shirogami #2 forge-welded blade. You can use this deba for vegetables, meat, and tiny fish. 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.
