Please purchase only if you understand this.* ■ Product Name: Gyuto Knife ■ Material: Yasuki Steel, Blue Paper No. 2 ■ Blade Length: 180mm ■ Blade Type: Double-edged (right-handed/left-handed) ■ Handle: Black laminated wood This knife uses Hitachi Yasuki Steel's Blue Paper No. 2, a high-grade carbon steel for cutlery, ensuring a sharp edge that lasts. Although it is prone to rust because it is steel, it offers a sharpness that cannot be experienced with stainless steel. *Important Notes* ・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 dishwashers or dish dryers. ・Do not use on frozen foods, corn, pumpkins, dried mochi, or hard ingredients such as bones or shells, as this may cause chipping, cracking, or breaking of the blade.
