This is a Masamoto hamokiri knife. The blade length is approximately 21.5cm. The steel type is unknown (probably white steel). It has the "Hide" stamp. The handle is made of black water buffalo horn. I had previously listed this item, but I sharpened and polished it again because there were some areas of concern. I also replaced the medium grit stone and polishing compound with new ones. This is a hamokiri knife with a blade length of 21.5cm. With this size, it has a dignified presence. Because it was mirror-polished, some small rust marks remain. I recommend it if you don't mind. It is in overall beautiful condition, so I think it can be used for a long time. Both the cutting edge and the flat surface are almost mirror-finished. The weight balance is good, and it is recommended for professionals. It has been finished with Kitayama 8000 grit, Shapton 12000 grit, and natural whetstones. It is in a very sharp condition, so it can be used immediately. ● Size: Blade length approx. 215mm ● Blade thickness: Approx. 4.9mm at the thickest part of the base of the blade ● Overall length: 375mm ● Weight: 247g #Knife #Hamokiri #Masamoto #21.5cm
