Knife-sheath - Japan - 1960-1970

This large vintage Japanese yanagiba kitchen knife is a beautiful and characterful specimen with an impressive total length of no less than 40 cm. The long, slender blade is typical of the traditional yanagiba form and is particularly suitable for precise cutting.

The knife is razor-sharp and bears original Japanese markings on the blade. The signs of use and patina give the knife an authentic vintage appearance and testify to its age and use.

The dark wooden handle features a striking copper-colored ferrule and also bears an engraved Japanese marking. A particularly large and decorative Japanese kitchen knife that is interesting both for use and for the collector of traditional Japanese blades.

Total length: 40 cm.
