Due to long-term storage, there are scratches and rust on the blade (see photos 5, 6, 7, 11, and 12). *Please note that returns and exchanges are not accepted. Please purchase only if you understand this. ■Product Name: Yanagiba Knife ■Material: Yasuki Steel, Aogami No. 2 Damascus ■Blade Length: 270mm ■Blade Type: Single-edged (right-handed) ■Handle: Shitan Shinogi Handle Comes with a box. By using Hitachi Yasuki Steel Aogami No. 2, a high-grade carbon steel for blades, the sharp cutting edge will last a long time. Although it is prone to rust because it is steel, it offers a cutting performance that cannot be experienced with stainless steel. The handle uses Shitan Shinogi, and the 10-layer Damascus gives this Japanese knife a beautiful appearance. *Important Notes ・There are individual differences in the appearance of the Damascus pattern. ・After using the knife, remove any dirt and thoroughly wipe off any moisture. Leaving moisture or dirt on the blade can cause rust. ・Do not use in a dishwasher or dish dryer. ・Do not use on frozen foods, corn, pumpkin, dried mochi, or hard ingredients such as bones and shells, as this may cause chipping, breaking, or blade breakage.
