Knife-sheath - Japan - 1980-1990

This vintage Japanese yanagiba knife is an authentic professional tool, designed for precision work and loved in traditional Japanese cuisine. The long, slender blade shape is ideal for finely slicing fish and making perfect sashimi and sushi cuts.

The knife is in good condition and sharp, with a beautifully aged blade that bears witness to years of careful use. The natural patina on the steel emphasizes its professional character and gives the knife an attractive, authentic appearance without compromising its functionality.

The wooden handle feels comfortable in the hand and provides good balance during cutting. The simple yet sturdy finish perfectly matches a working knife designed to perform, not to impress.

With a total length of 33 cm, this is an excellent knife for the serious home cook, collector, or professional looking for a reliable and characterful Japanese kitchen knife with history.
