Thank you for viewing. This is a Santoku knife (general-purpose knife) made of SLD steel by Gihei, from Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture, a town famous for its cutlery. Upon purchase, the blade had scratches and chips, so it has been reshaped, polished, and hand-sharpened. This is a remade product, indicated by "[改]" (Kai - Revised). It's a one-of-a-kind knife. Made of SLD steel, it is characterized by its rust resistance and sharp cutting edge. The handle had a crack upon purchase, which has been repaired. Overall, it has a vintage (retro) feel, making it suitable for everyday use at home, camping, or fishing. We hope it contributes to the safety, health, and enjoyment of food for yourself, your family, and your guests. ◆ Product Description ・ Manufacturer or Seller: Gihei Hamono ・ Type: Santoku knife / Reshaped to resemble a Gyuto (chef's knife). ・ Material: SLD steel / Wooden handle ・ Hand Orientation: Right-handed / Left-handed compatible ・ Size: Length 29.5 x Width 4.5 x Height 1.4 cm ・ Condition: Remade product (recycled/used/junk). 　　　　　　There are fine scratches on the blade. 　　　　　　The handle shows signs of use. ・ Uses: Suitable for all-purpose use, including meat, vegetables, and fish. ・ Notes: There are some scratches on the blade, but there are no problems with use. ・ Accessories: No original box or instruction manual. ◆ Important Notes ・ Please check the condition in the photos.
