Thank you for viewing. This is a knife for soba and noodles. Shimomura Kogyo Menkiri Bocho Middle Menjin - Purpose: Soba/Noodle cutting knife - Model number: MEK-02 - Blade: Special stainless steel - Handle: Natural wood (Magnolia obovata) My father bought this and put it away. Due to long-term storage, the box shows discoloration, roughness, and other signs of deterioration, but the knife itself appears to be unused or used only once for testing. I have not tested the cutting ability, so I do not know the actual sharpness. I am working, so I may not be able to respond immediately. Therefore, please refrain from price negotiations. #SobaMaking #NoodleCutting #Knife #Udon #Menjin #MK-02 #MiddleMenjin
