Deba Japanese kitchen knife Ittetsu Forge-welded Shirogami 2 IJF-11110 21cm and fish dishes directly outThe Ittetsu Deba IJF 11110 is a Japanese kitchen knife with a polished 210 mm blade made of carbon steel (Shirogami #2). Magnolia wood is used to make the oval shaped handle. The knife has a single edge. Because carbon steel rusts easily, it needs to be maintained clean and dry at all times to prevent oxidation and discoloration. Wash by hand in warm water, then pat dry. Handmade in Echizen, Japan, are Ittetsu knives.
