Thank you for viewing. This is a sashimi knife from Kyoto Aritsugu. It is a knife made by Aritsugu, a long-established store that has been in business for over 400 years since its founding as a swordsmith. It is lightweight, cuts well, and has a beautiful ripple pattern like a Japanese sword. When purchased, there were chips, scratches, and rust, so I performed polishing and hand sharpening. I hope that this knife will contribute to the safety, health, and happiness of yourself, your family, and your customers through food. ◆ Product Description ・ Manufacturer or Seller: Kyoto ARITSUGU ・ Type: Sashimi knife / Yanagiba knife / Japanese knife / Single-edged knife / Knife ・ Material: Steel / Wooden handle / Buffalo horn bolster ・ Hand orientation: Right-handed ・ Size: Length 34 x Width 3.4 x Height 2 cm ・ Condition: Refurbished (used / junk) 　　　　Polished up to 15000 grit whetstone.
