Due to long-term storage, there is some lifting between the handle and the blade (see photo 8). *Please understand that returns and exchanges are not accepted, so please purchase only if you agree to these terms.* Stainless steel materials generally use molybdenum steel, and other materials offer superior sharpness and durability. Gin-san steel (silver steel No. 3) has both sharpness and durability, and is also rust-resistant, making it a highly-regarded material among chefs. The handle uses a buffalo horn octagonal handle, which is very easy to use and designed to fit comfortably in the hand. The octagonal handle is said to be easy to grip by chefs. 【Sensuke Deba Knife】 ■ Blade Length: 165mm ■ Material: Gin-san (Silver Steel No. 3) ■ Handle: Buffalo horn octagonal handle ■ Blade Type: Single-edged (right-handed) *Important Notes* ・Although it is made of rust-resistant stainless steel, please clean the knife after use 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.
