Yamashin White #1 Kobocho 120mm. This authentic Japanese traditional kitchen knife line features hand-forged double-layer white-paper steel blade (white #1) but is very reasonably priced. These are every day kitchen knives that many good cooks love to use in Japan. They sharpen really well and hold a nice edge. The grinds on these knives for the money are impressive which makes them a great overall value. If you've never tried a good Japanese knife and don't want to spend a ton of money these would be an excellent choice. Care for carbon steel knives is simple. Just wipe them dry after you use them and don't let water or acid linger on the blade. The knife will patina over time adding to the great rustic look of these knives. We recently upgraded these knives with a very nice walnut handle.
Weight: 2.8oz
Blade length: 125mm
Overall length: 240mm
Spine thickness at base: 3.0mm
Depth of blade at base: 41.67mm
Handle: Walnut
Ferrule: Pakka Wood

Terrible, March 4, 2020Posted By: Danny
Not sure what happened on this knife. This knife dulled faster than any I've used before. Upon trying to sharpen, I couldn't get it sharp at all.. I'd get a burr, then switch sides, get a burr, then nothing, it's like the edge just kept rolling over back and forth taking away material. This is the only knife I have like this. I hate this knife with a passion. I ready to throw it in the garbage.

Good small knife., January 3, 2020Posted By: Danny - verified customer
Was looking for a gift for the girlfriend who prefers a smaller knife with some height. I wanted something nicer than a Daovua but affordable. This fit the bill. The colors on the blade are cool. Sharpness was a 5/10 but I can fix that. Girlfriend loves it. CKTG was perfect as always!

Best paring knife ever, April 13, 2019 Good, October 29, 2017 useful size and geometry, February 23, 2017Posted By: Ken - verified customer
I have been using this knife daily for a year now. The compact size that has a tall height is just so useful. It truly makes you wonder why you would use a petty knife ever again. Easy to sharpen due to White #1 steel but its about 9/10 on sharpness after sharpening, and stropping. The handle is a big bonus on a $60 dollar knife.

Really happy with this guy as my first japanese knife. I would recommend it for anyone like me who was on a budget and interested a unique knife with plenty or room for you to add your own personal touches. I think it's a great knife for a young cook looking to improve his or her knife knowledge. I'm looking forward to maybe treating the raw, wa-handle myself...Here's a review in the forums I posted up: http://www.chefknivestogoforum.com/120mm-yamashin-ko-bocho-t6961.html
