Forged by master Itsuo Doi, this knife is one of a kind. Forging at a low temperature, though extremely difficult, ensures very high quality and high performance. Due to the difficulty of forge-welding at such a low temperature, Doi-san only produces about 10 knives a month! The mirror polish on this knife is mind-blowing; this knife is a work of art!
Notes:
- After use, wash with warm water and a non-abrasive cloth or sponge and dish soap. Dry immediately and thoroughly to prevent rust from forming.
- Because this knife is made of carbon steel, it may eventually develop a patina, or oxidation, that will eventually help with rust prevention. Be aware that this looks like discolouration.
- Never put this knife in the dishwasher! The high temperature will ruin the wood handle and may dull the blade!
- Avoid hard ingredients like nuts, bones, and frozen foods. They may chip the edge.
- Remove plastic handle covering before first use.
