This knife is ideal for those who are looking for a good quality knife at an excellent price. The 330mm yanagi is one of the most popular sizes for this style of knives. The blade is constructed with a core of White #2 steel (also called Shirogami and White Paper 2 steel) sandwiched between a softer iron outer layer. White #2 steel will take a screaming sharp edge and well. These knives are traditionally single bevel and used primarily to slice raw fish, but many use these as standard slicing knives. The blade is attached to a ho wood handle and water resistant resin ferrule. Please note the handles on these are installed with a gapped machi and it's called "Tokyo Style". It's supposed to harken back to the Katana and it represents the place where a Tsuba (hilt) would be installed on a sword. See photo #4 to see it. It's not a mistake.
