Thank you for viewing. Reduced price until 9/15: 72,000 yen → 50,000 yen This is a long kitchen knife, 480mm in length. I purchased it as a tuna knife, but it appears to be made from a Japanese sword. I don't think it's very practical as a kitchen knife, so I think it's more suitable for appreciating the hamon (temper line) unique to Japanese swords. The steel is tamahagane (jewel steel). The midareba (irregular temper line) is beautiful, and I think the forging is very beautiful. The handle is a black buffalo horn octagonal ebony handle. No saya (scabbard) is included. Specifications (approximate values) Blade length: Approximately 485mm Blade width: Approximately 27mm Blade thickness: Approximately 5.5mm Total length: Approximately 675mm Weight: Approximately 470g
