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 handmade leather saya for large gyuto knives is an option to protect this knife although the fit is a little loose otherwise we would recommend a gyuto sized blade guard.
Due to the thickness of the spine near to the handle there are no wooden saya currently available to fit this knife.
