Ittetsu Kurouchi Tall Bunka 210x60mm - Shirogami #1

This is a Kurouchi iron clad white No 1 blade with a Walnut handle. The heat treatment is excellent, coming in at 63-64 HRC. White Steel No 1 is easily sharpened and takes on a screaming edge. As this is an all reactive knife, care must be taken to avoid rust. Please clean immediately after use and wipe down with a cloth. Use & Care Do not attempt to cut, hit or chop frozen products or bones. The blade can chip or break with improper use. Hand wash with warm water and towel dry. Never put the knife in a dishwasher, nor soak it. Ever! Use a sharpening stone to maintain the sharpness of the blade.  Do not use on hard melons or items that may torque the blade.
