Knife-sheath - Japan - 1960-1970

Beautiful lot of two vintage Japanese kitchen knives: a nakiri and a yanagiba. Two classic Japanese shapes that are not only functional but also particularly decorative due to their sober, pure lines and authentic appearance.

Both knives are sharp and show nice signs of use that fit perfectly with vintage Japanese kitchen tools. The steel has a characterful patina, which adds extra charm to these blades and reinforces their artisanal look. The wooden handles with Japanese inscriptions make the whole even more appealing to enthusiasts, collectors, or chefs who love traditional Japanese tools.

The yanagiba has a total length of 34 cm and the nakiri a total length of 35 cm. The yanagiba is ideal for fine, precise slicing, while the nakiri is loved for processing vegetables neatly and efficiently. Together they form a beautiful and versatile duo.

An attractive set for lovers of vintage Japanese knives, culinary tradition and authentic kitchenware. Beautiful as a utilitarian object, a collectible, or decorative piece in a kitchen with character.
