This is a Masamoto yanagiba knife. The blade length is approximately 27.5cm. It is a single-edged knife. The steel type is unknown. The handle is white water buffalo horn. It has the "秀" (Hide) stamp. I'm relisting this after correcting some areas of concern and re-sharpening it. There is a small chip on the white water buffalo horn on the back of the handle. If you don't mind, I recommend it. This is a yanagiba knife that is just the right size for easy use. I polished the flat and the cutting edge, so it's almost a mirror finish. It's generally clean, so I think it can be used for a long time. It can be used by professionals and in general households. 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 approximately 275mm ● Blade thickness: Approximately 4.3mm at the thickest part of the base of the blade ● Overall length: 430mm ● Weight: 187g #Knife #Yanagiba #Masamoto #27.5cm #MirrorFinish
