Knife-sheath - Japan - 2000-2010

Vintage Japanese yanagiba kitchen knife – 38 cm
Gorgeous vintage Japanese yanagiba knife with a long, slim blade, specially designed for precise slicing of fish, sashimi, and other fine ingredients. Thanks to its narrow shape and sharp tip, the knife is ideal for long, fluid cutting motions and creating thin, neat slices.
The blade bears authentic Japanese characters and has a nicely seasoned patina, in keeping with the knife's age and character. These signs of use give the knife a unique, traditional look.
The wooden handle sits comfortably in the hand and is finished with a dark ferrule.
The overall length is 38 cm.
A special piece for lovers of traditional Japanese kitchen knives, collectors, or chefs looking for a characterful and functional blade.
The knife is in vintage used condition and shows signs of age and wear, as visible in the photos.
