Care:
Shirogami #2 (white #2) steel is one of the most popular types of high carbon steel found in Japanese kitchen knives (Wa Knives). It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use. Patina will develop over time. Rust may develop if left in prolonged contact with water or acidic food. Use a rust eraser to clean if rusts develop. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.
Cutting Surface:
Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.
Sharpening:
We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.
Like always: incredible delivery speed to the other end of the world (Germany). The knife is sold out so I won't torture you with all the details of it's greatness but I will say that I thoroughly enjoy using it. It is quite heavy (as it should be) and in combination with the single bevel grind the user experience is unique. Also, it is absolutely up to the task of transforming a whole fish into whatever you wish for.
