Thank you for viewing. This is a product of Miki Hamono Seisakusho.

The blade is highly resistant to rust, has excellent toughness and strength, and the beautiful layered pattern on the blade is unique, with no two alike. The blade length is 170mm. Although it is a new, unused item, it has been stored for a long time, so there may be scratches, stains, or minor rust. Please understand this before purchasing.
