Why Choose the Itsuo Doi Homura Guren Deba?
This knife offers a perfect balance of weight and sharpness, with Doi-san's legendary heat treatment elevating the performance of Blue #2 steel. With its soft iron cladding, it's a traditional tool, but it requires care due to its rust-prone nature. The classic burnt oak handle of the Guren line adds an elegant and timeless touch.
Care Instructions: Be sure to dry the knife thoroughly after each use to avoid rust. Sharpen using a whetstone to maintain its edge and performance.
