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.
Protection & care for this knife
The 240mm gyuto magnolia saya is a fairly tight fit but is compatable with this knife. Otherwise we would recommend a gyuto (27x5.5cm) sized blade guard to protect this knife if you're not storing it on a magnetic rack or stand.
