Knife-sheath - Japan - 1970-1980

These two vintage Japanese kitchen knives together form a beautiful and functional embodiment of traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The set consists of a yanagiba for fine slicing and a nakiri for vegetables and precision work, both designed for controlled, clean cuts.

The yanagiba has a total length of about 34 cm and is slender, elegant, and sharp. This knife is ideal for slicing fish, sashimi, and thin slices of meat, where long, flowing cuts are essential. The blade bears a beautiful, authentic patina that speaks of its age and use, without compromising the knife's cutting performance.

The nakiri, with a total length of about 30 cm, features the characteristic straight blade loved for quick and precise vegetable preparation. The broad blade offers excellent control and makes chopping and mincing effortless. Here too, the natural patina is clearly present and contributes to the knife's character.

Both knives are sharp, have wooden handles with original details, and bear Japanese markings on the steel blade. The visible signs of wear emphasize their vintage origin and make each knife unique.

This set is especially suited for lovers of Japanese knives, chefs, collectors, or home cooks who appreciate authentic tools with a story. Not modern mass production, but true Japanese classics with soul, character, and excellent cutting performance.

A great opportunity to add two timeless, functional, and characterful Japanese knives to your kitchen or collection.
