Due to long-term storage, there is rust on the blade (see photos 5, 10, 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, Blue Paper No. 2 Damascus ■ Blade Length: 300mm ■ Blade Type: Single-edged (right-handed) ■ Handle: Shitan Shinogi Handle By using Hitachi Yasuki Steel Blue Paper No. 2, a high-grade blade carbon steel, the sharp sharpness lasts for a long time. Although it is prone to rust because it is steel, it offers a sharpness that cannot be experienced with stainless steel. The handle uses Shitan Shinogi, and the 10-layer Damascus gives it a beautiful appearance, resulting in a Japanese knife. *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 dishwashers or dish dryers. ・Do not use on frozen foods, corn, pumpkins, dried mochi, or hard ingredients such as bones and shells, as this may cause chipping, breakage, or blade damage.
