★★★ Three HONMAMON Stars (link)

■Materials:
Blade: White paper steel, Base metal: Multi-layer steel,
Handle: Rosewood,
Mouth ring: Black plywood

■Blade shape: Single-edged (for right-handed people)

Handle shape: Octagonal

■ Manufacturing: Made in Japan

■Features:
This is a beautiful authentic Japanese knife with a layered pattern on the blade and a rosewood handle.
The blade is made of white paper steel, which is characterized by its sharp cutting edge.
It is easy to sharpen, so maintenance is also easy.
It is a kiritsuke type knife with a sharp cutting edge, and the cutting edge is thicker than that of a yanagiba knife, so the tip is stronger and more stable when making cuts. This
yanagiba knife is also recommended for those who are using a steel knife for the first time.

■Caution:
This is a steel knife and will rust.
Please wipe off any moisture before use.
Do not use in a dishwasher or dryer.

The line is proof of handcraftsmanship. 

The boundary between the high-carbon steel and the soft iron is known as the line. On rare occasions, a faint gap may be visible along this line—a testament to the forging process and the skill of the blacksmith who shaped the blade.

As each item is handcrafted, the presence or absence of gaps may vary from piece to piece. We kindly ask for your understanding and recommend this product only to those who appreciate such characteristics.
