Knife-sheath - Japan - 1990-2000

Beautiful vintage Japanese yanagiba kitchen knife of exceptional quality. With its impressive total length of 38 cm, this is a large and elegant blade, shaped in the characteristic elongated form of a traditional yanagiba.
The long, slender blade is razor-sharp and ideal for very fine and precise cuts. Japanese characters are inscribed on the blade, giving the knife extra character and an authentic appearance. The traditional wooden handle with a dark ferrule sits comfortably in the hand.
The knife is in nice vintage condition and shows signs of use and patina that suit its age and use. It is precisely these marks that give the knife its well-worn look.
A particularly large and high-quality Japanese kitchen knife for the serious cooking enthusiast, collector, or lover of traditional Japanese knives.
Total length: 38 cm. Razor-sharp.
