Made in Sakai, the home of blades, This is a genuine Sakai-forged blade, a high-quality yanagiba knife. Brand new, unused. Blade length: 270mm (9 inches) Made with high-quality hagane (white steel No. 2) with few impurities and forged iron, carefully combined using Sakai's unique, traditional forging techniques. The metal structure is dense and uniform, resulting in a high-hardness hagane-forged sashimi knife. The blade is also sharpened by Sakai's blade craftsmen, with a full back-honing process, resulting in a truly sharp edge. The sharpness is outstanding! It's also easy to sharpen and can be used repeatedly. The bottom of the handle is also beautifully polished, making it gentle on the fingers. This is a high-quality sashimi knife that is particular about every detail, and is recommended for professionals! We will cover the shipping costs. Price is firm. Please take this opportunity! Thank you.
