This is a kitchen knife made by authentic hand-forging of steel. I believe it can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as disassembling fish and chopping vegetables. Although it is a new, unused item, it has been in storage for a long time and has some scratches and dirt. This is a great item for those who can sharpen knives, and is suitable for use at home or at work. Blade length: 165 mm Please purchase this item only if you are satisfied with it. Please refrain from purchasing if you are overly concerned about minor imperfections.
