This is a special sashimi knife, 8 sun (24cm), made by Sakai Yoshida. It was used in a fish shop, but the owner retired 10 years ago due to old age. It will not be used again, so I am offering it for sale. There is rust and dirt, and it shows considerable signs of use, but it cuts well and I believe it is still a usable knife. Please consider purchasing if you understand that this is a used knife. - Type: Yanagiba knife - Blade length: 8 sun (24cm) Actual size: 23.5cm - Engraving: Sakai Masayoshi Yoshida special engraving - Handle material: Wooden handle - Blade material: Steel Please note that it will be shipped in a roughly made, handmade sheath. Thank you for looking.
