Care:

Shirogami #2 (white #2) steel is one of the most popular types of high carbon steel found in Japanese kitchen knives (Wa Knives). It is not stainless, therefore you must wipe your knife dry after each use, in particular the core steel not covered by the stainless cladding. Patina will develop over time, which will appear as “discoloration” on the cutting edge, but that is the nature of carbon steel - not a defect. The stainless cladding covers a large part of the blade, making maintenance easier but still preserving the cutting and sharpening pleasure of the Shirogami core. Avoid cutting into bones, frozen foods, hard fruit pits.

Cutting Surface:

Recommended cutting surface: wood, rubberized boards and high-end composites, and quality plastics such as polyethene make acceptable cutting surfaces, and will help protect and prolong knife’s edge. AVOID glass, metal, countertops, and other rigid, non-forgiving surfaces.

Sharpening:

We recommend sharpening all quality Japanese knives on whetstones, as we believe they yield the best results for your knives.

Great tape for sublimation!
Number of Items: 4
Love love this tape. I used amber colored tape in the past and the color would transfer onto what I was making. This sticks well, is wide so it adds extra durability, and does not transfer color! If you’re just starting your sublimation journey, I highly recommend using this tape!

Great tape for using with a heat press. It doesn’t leave any marks and comes up easy. I use it for taping down sublimation stuff and have had no issues on slate, shirts, metal or anything I’ve made it sticks well and comes off easy.

Almost perfect

Works ok, and no color to bleed onto sublimation surfaces. Not very sticky making for easy removal but sometimes a bit of a challenge to get to lay down.
