Thank you for viewing. This is a kitchen knife from Machikan Hamono in Kawagoe City, Saitama Prefecture. Purchased 10 years ago for 25,000 yen. I've used it a few times, but I ended up using a more convenient knife that can be put in the dishwasher, so I'm selling this one since I don't use it anymore. This is a knife that will last a lifetime, so I hope someone will use it.
