Care Instructions:
Wash and dry the blade by hand immediately after use. Dishwashers are very bad for all knives.
Use a soft cloth to wash the blade. Avoid abrasive dish scrubbers and powders as these can damage the finish of your beautiful knife.
Do not cut through bones. You can certainly cut along/beside bones, but do not cut into bones. This can, at worst, chip the blade.
Never use this knife to cut frozen food. I’m sure you have a 4×4 somewhere in your kitchen for this job.
Never twist, cleave or prise the blade.
Always use a wooden or plastic cutting board. Never cut on bamboo, glass, marble, slate, a plate, china, marble, arborite or anything harder than steel.
Store knives in a way that the blades will not knock into each other.
The blade is made from Aogami Super – really easy to sharpen, holds a super fine edge, cuts like silk and is very rugged for its hardness. The super hard steel is then cladded in a softer stainless steel to help lower the possibility of rusting.

Deba:
The Deba is one of the first knives a sushi chef would use when preparing fish. Mainly used for filleting fish but can also be used for doing some poultry work.
These knives, and a considerable amout of skill on the chefs part, are the reason sushi looks so good and why the fish is cleaned so perfectly. Done properly, the bones will be in one pile with almost no meat on them and the meat will be completely bone-free, perfect fillets.
Most debas are single bevel meaning the knife is ground on one side only and the back side of the knife is flat. Single bevels knives have more acute angles on their edges that excel at cutting softer, thinner product like fish but in return require a different skill set to use and sharpen.

Scanlen knives are produced locally with expert crafting techniques by Frederick Scanlen, a South African born knife artisan who, after schooling, travelled to various parts of the world to learn the art of knife making. Frederick uses all types of indigenous and exotic woods, often recycling previously used wood and utilises high quality steels for the construction of his blades.
The Gyuto is constructed San Mai (Three Layer Construction) using UHC, an ultra high carbon steel which, due to its high carbon content, can be heat treated to high hardness levels.
Frederick Scanlen heat treat the steel to its highest hardness levels because he strives to maintain a good balance between edge retention, sharpness and durability. The blade is cladded in softer stainless steel which provides the knife with corrosion resistant properties.
