Please note that we have a mix of stock for this particular knife where Hatsukokoro have changed the blade markings from the photographed version to an engraved kanji instead. If you have a preference please contact us before ordering to check which is available.

Our aim is to measure and photograph our products as accurately as possible but due to many items being handmade, finished or using natural materials, there can be minor variance in measurements and things such as blade or wood finishes can vary. We will always endeavour to provide the most accurate measurements, photos and descriptions of our products.
Some measurements such as HRC are provided by manufacturers and should therefore be used as a guide.
