This lot features a traditional Japanese kitchen knife by 越前太郎 (Echizen Tarō), a name associated with Echizen (越前) knife-making traditions. The blade is made of carbon steel with traditional engraved markings, and the knife has a single-edged blade, suitable for precise Japanese culinary techniques. The knife was found during storage整理 and appears to be several decades old. It shows minor scratches and small areas that may be light surface rust, consistent with age and storage. The sharpness has not been tested. Please review the photos carefully to assess the condition. Despite age-related signs, the knife remains visually appealing and suitable for use, restoration, or collection. A good example of a traditional Japanese steel kitchen knife for enthusiasts of Japanese cutlery.
