Kikuichi 240mm Yanagi Hon Tan Ren Shirogami 2 W Saya

Lightly used second hand Kikuichi 240mm yanagi marked Hon Tan Ren on ura. Blade is straight without warps or big flaws in the ura (sometimes a problem for Kikuichi…)

We cleaned some light surface rust and sharpened it along the ura and itoba (flat beveled hollow ground inside and microbevel of outside) but the next time it gets sharpened it might need more work done on the main bevel.

233mm cutting edge, 30mm wide at heel 146.4 grams

Designed for slicing sashimi specifically, avoid bones and hard items. Not stainless, care must be taken to avoid rust.
