Thank you for viewing. This is a Kiridashi-style knife by Minamoto Masamune. *As this is a remade item, it is described as a Kiridashi-style knife. Upon purchase, there was some slight rust, so I hand-sharpened it. Also, it was originally a Santoku knife, but it has been remade to resemble a Kiridashi knife. I hope that this sharp Minamoto Masamune knife will contribute to the safety and health of your food, your family's, and your customers'. ◆ Product Description ・ Manufacturer or Seller: Minamoto Masamune ・ Type: Kiridashi-style / Japanese knife ・ Material: Steel / Wooden handle ・ Hand Orientation: Right-handed, Left-handed, Ambidextrous ・ Size: Length 29.5 cm / Width 5 cm / Height 2.5 cm ・ Condition: Normally polished ・ Uses: Can be used for vegetables, fish, meat, etc. ・ Notes: There is some slight rust between the metal part and the wooden handle. ・ Accessories: None (There is no original box or instruction manual.) ◆ Important Notes ・ As this is a steel knife, it is prone to rust, so maintenance after use is important. ・ If you are not confident in your maintenance skills, please purchase a stainless steel knife. ・ As this is a refurbished (used) and remade item, it may be difficult to achieve the original sharpness, and there may be some signs of use.
