Knife Information
Who doesn't want a whale knife? Hand-forged carbon steel with soft iron clad. A perfect utility/chopper with great edge retention.
STEEL BREAKDOWN – Blue Steel is a traditional high-carbon steel made by Hitachi Metals in Japan. It is the favourite steel of many knife makers and chefs across the world for its fantastic edge holding ability, toughness, and ease of sharpening. It contains few stainless elements, and as such will develop a patina, and develop rust spots if left wet after use. It requires a little more care and maintenance than something like VG-10 (Stainless Steel), so consider this when purchasing a Blue Steel knife as your first Japanese knife.

About West Japan Tools
West Japan Tools is the brainchild of Takayuki Shibata, based in Fukuyama City. Shibata-san is probably best known in knife circles as the founder of Masakage Knives, but his curiosity didn't stop there. After years of cooking for his family, he found himself frustrated by the tools available to him, and that frustration pushed him to start developing his own kitchen products, beginning with a quest to build the perfect frying pan, which eventually expanded into a broader range of kitchen tools and accessories.
Care
Hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap after each use, never put it in the dishwasher. Dry it immediately with a towel and stand it upright to allow air to circulate on both sides. Regularly apply a food-safe mineral oil or beeswax board conditioner to keep the wood hydrated and prevent it from drying out and cracking. Light surface scratches are completely normal and part of using a wood board.

Care
Before cooking with your pan for the first time, it needs to be seasoned. This pan is best suited to gas. If using on a glass or ceramic cooktop, always heat it slowly, never blast it with high heat straight away, as the inconsistent heat from these surfaces can cause the pan to warp. Avoid soap where possible, as it can strip the seasoning over time. Never put it in the dishwasher. Dry it immediately and thoroughly.
The handle will get hot during cooking, always use a folded kitchen towel or oven mitt when handling the pan on the stove.
