The Kasumi range is made of White Steel 3, so is a carbon steel knife and requires proper maintenance. Classic Japanese Magnolia handle, is an great tool for filleting medium size fishes for the ones that need a Deba at a value for money level. Important Note: This is a Carbon Steel knife and not a stainless one. Requires attention and care in its maintenance like quick washing and drying after use, storing in low humidity area and application of mineral oil if not used for some time. Over time it will form a patina that will protect it from rust. In case rust appears, use baking soda on wet blade, leave it for 10 mins and rub carefully with your finger or a soft sponge. In case rust is not removed, contact us for further instructions.
