Ideal for intermediate chefs, it comes ready to use out of the box. A lacquered Magnolia wood sheath, knife oil, and rust eraser are included. Each knife is 100% handcrafted in Japan, not mass-produced.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur Yoshihiro Hongasumi knives are meticulously crafted by master artisans, offering unmatched performance and craftsmanship. The White Steel #2 blade is forged with iron, creating beautiful mist patterns and polished with the utmost attention to detail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe knives feature a handcrafted Japanese Ebony handle with a water buffalo horn bolster and come with a magnetic oak wooden Saya for protection. The Saya is treated with non-toxic lacquer, offering resistance to odors, stains, and chips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Yanagi Kiritsuke has a slightly heavier, wider blade with a thicker spine and a sword tip that helps balance the knife.
