Deba Japanese kitchen knife Ittetsu Forge-welded Shirogami 2 IJF-11112 24cm The blade is roughly 50The Ittetsu Deba IJF 11112 is a Japanese kitchen knife with a polished 240 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.
