TLDR ⓘ - Too long; didn't read - A quick summary that cuts to the chase.
Great for someone looking to upgrade from their favourite western knife, or first Japanese knife to something with a little better edge retention. Chef de Partie using their knife all day everyday but don’t want to worry about it chipping or going dull! Value. Performance. Upgrade from the classic. Looks and feels great!

About ICHIGO ICHIE - As a knife brand, Ichigo Ichie has two halves: Ichigo, meaning lifetime, and Ichie, one-time encounter. Ichigo are knives that we expect will stick around for years, that you can slowly build a set from or return to favourites to get gifts for loved ones. Ichie are knives that we love dearly, but may not stick around in our shops forever. Like a bag of excellent tea or a fine bottle of whiskey, we’ll savour them while they’re around.

About ICHIGO SLD Migaki - I’ve long said, the best knife is the one that gets you excited to cook, and that’s precisely what this knife does to me! I’m grabbed by the strikingly polished near-mirror blade, so perfectly complemented by the dark bubinga handle. While I first grabbed this knife because of its beauty, I keep coming back because it cuts so dang well. Perfectly ground to a super-thin edge, it flies through vegetables effortlessly. Every time I cut with it, I’m reminded of the first time I tried a Japanese knife and fell in love with its sharpness.

Because this knife is crafted from SLD Semi-stainless steel, it also requires way less care than your average Japanese knife. As long as you follow the care guide, your knife will be cutting beautifully for decades to come. 

About the Shape - This is the knife for smaller jobs that are done on a cutting board. Perfect for slicing shallots, cutting herbs, and boning smaller proteins. Additionally, an indispensable tool for those who feel uncomfortable wielding a larger chef knife.

A NOTE ABOUT RUST

Semi-stainless steel is a compromise between the edge retention of carbon steel
and the rust resistance of stainless. This steel will rust if you let it. To avoid “bad” rust (orange rust) Wipe the knife dry with a dry cloth after use. By this we mean: between cutting and putting the knife down, wipe it dry. Overtime the blade will begin to protect itself with an oxide layer (grey to dark grey “good” rust), this will slow the reaction time but not inhibit the rust entirely. Maintain the good habit of drying off your knife.

USE  

• Only cut food you can bite through with this knife. Hard foods can chip the blade. No olive pits, bones,  lobster shells, woody stems or parmesan rinds. Cutting frozen food is especially bad because the cold will make hard steel even more brittle. If you wouldn’t chew it with your own teeth, don’t cut it.  

• Your cutting surface is the biggest culprit of dulling your knife. Use wood. End-grain wood is especially good. Plastic can be fine too, but certainly not glass,  granite or bamboo. 

• The edge of your knife works best sliding forwards or backwards. Scraping the knife edge sideways will dull or damage the edge. Instead, use the spine of the knife to move foods across the cutting board. Do not twist the edge or pry with the edge, this is the worst screwdriver you ever bought and these motions will certainly damage the edge. Listen to the knife! If you can hear the edge making a “tink”  sound on the cutting board, change what you are doing.  

CLEANING  

• After use, wash the knife by hand with regular dish soap, rinse with hot water  and dry by hand immediately. Dishwashers are very bad for knives.  

• Wood handles may dry out over time and exposure to water. Simply treat them  with some food safe mineral oil or beeswax.  

• If you see orange rust, remove it. The scrubby side of a sponge can do the trick.  If it’s still not coming off try baking soda and water mixed into a paste or a product called Barkeeper’s Friend.  

STORING  

• Protect the edge; for your safety and to avoid edge damage. A simple blade cover  will do the trick if you keep knives in a drawer or travel case. 

• A convenient wall magnet made with wood is a great way to show off your knives.  Be sure to put it back spine first, then roll it onto the blade face. This will keep the  edge from contacting the wood first.  

• The good-ol’ counter top block can keep knives at the ready and protected. So can drawer inserts. Whatever the method, keep the edge from touching anything else.
