Thank you for viewing. This is a Masakame-made all-steel usuba bocho (vegetable knife). It's the perfect knife for everyday use, both in terms of size and weight. While it has a very sharp edge, it also requires regular maintenance. There was rust when I purchased it, so I removed the rust and hand-sharpened it. Also, the handle has been replaced with a new one. I hope this knife will contribute to the safety, health, and happiness of yourself, your family, and your customers. ◆ Product Description ・ Manufacturer or Seller: Masakame ・ Type: Usuba bocho / Vegetable knife / Japanese knife / Knife ・ Material: Steel / Wooden handle ・ Hand Orientation: Right-handed / Left-handed / Double-edged ・ Size: Length 31 x Width 5.3 x Height 2.5 cm ・ Condition: Refurbished (used / junk) 　　　　Sharpened up to 15000 grit whetstone. 　　　　There is pitting (black spots) in the area between the handle and the blade. 　　　　There are fine scratches on the blade, but there are no problems with use. ・ Uses: Primarily a knife for cutting vegetables, but can also be used for meat and fish. 　　　　Can be used for home use, as well as for professional use. 　　　　Can also be used outdoors, such as camping and fishing. ※ Please appreciate the scratches and rust as unique characteristics of this knife. ・ Remarks: The handle is a common one that can be purchased at a home center. ・ Accessories: There is no original box or instruction manual. ◆ Notes ・ Please check the condition in the photos. ・ Because it is a steel knife, daily maintenance is required.
