Ichigo Ichie Barbie Black Forged 170 Bunka - A84

Ichigo Ichie

Handmade 170 Bunka #A84

This handmade multipurpose knife is made of aosuper carbon steel, clad in stainless steel. The blade is forged and sharpened in Fukui, Japan by Masakage craftsmen.

If you've never owned a carbon steel knife, this blade will impress. While other knives made entirely of carbon steel need regular maintenance to keep them rust and stain free, this knife is much easier to take care of due to its stainless steel cladding. 

An impressive gift.

Ichigo Ichie Series

Ichigo Ichie translates as once in a lifetime encounter. All knives are one of a kind - each blade and handle is individual so you will never come across the same knife again.

Chef's Armoury handles are crafted in Australia. Made of stabilised wood and infused with resin to create unique individual designs.

...

Note: We highly recommend camellia oil to protect against rust.

There is only 1 of this knife so if you want it, jump on it now.

Knife care for carbon steel stainless clad knives

• Never put in the dishwasher.
• The knife is clad in stainless steel to protect against rust however the exposed carbon steel core (at the cutting edge) is susceptible to rust.
• Do not leave wet overnight or the knife may rust. Dry thoroughly after washing and do not store unless fully dry.
• A grey/black patina will form on the edge. This is totally normal for carbon steel and aids in protecting against rust.
• Do not cut through bones, frozen foods or extremely dense items.
• Always cut with a smooth action and never twist the blade, sideways pressure will damage the blade.
• Use Japanese waterstones to sharpen your knife.
• We highly recommend camellia oil and rust cleaner for maintenance.
