Jikko 'Tokusei' 270mm yanagi. Carbon tool steel and iron blade. Japanese magnolia handle with plastic ferrule. A great economy series, the quality control and finish sharpening is the best we have found in this price range.
Jikko is a family business established in 1901 in Sakai City, Osaka and has cultivated extensive relationships with traditional craftsmen in Sakai. From basic to top shelf, Jikko maintains a high standard of quality control. Wonderful in house sharpening is done on all of their single bevel knives, and special care is taken to provide a flat, fine-polished ura (side opposite omote bevel)
