(Please also consider purchasing with other items. Discounts available.) This is a Yanagiba knife forged in the traditional method using Yasuki White Steel. If you take care of it, I believe it will become a lifelong companion. Please use it at home or at work. Since it does not come with a box, it is offered at a low price.
