This is a Yanagiba knife by Gen Hiroaki. The blade length is approximately 26cm. The steel type is unknown. The handle is made of black buffalo horn. I previously listed this item, but I sharpened and polished it again because there were some areas of concern. It has been mirror-finished, so some minor rust marks remain. If you don't mind, I recommend it. The cutting edge, the flat surface, and the back of the blade are almost mirror-finished through polishing. It is generally clean, so I think it can be used for a long time. The size is easy to use for both professionals and general users. It has been finished with a Kitayama 8000 grit and a Shapton 12000 grit whetstone. It is in a very sharp condition, so it can be used immediately. ● Size: Blade length approx. 260mm ● Blade thickness: Approx. 4.0mm at the thickest part of the base of the blade ● Overall length: 415mm ● Weight: 180g #Knife #Yanagiba #Hiroaki #26cm
