When it comes to distinguishing a good knife from an average one, a few factors come into play such as the quality of the steel, the precision of the edge grind, the comfort of the handle, a perfect fit and finish, and appealing packaging. This Yahiko line of knives excels in all of these aspects, making it a cut above the rest. Crafted from high-grade Ginsan stainless steel, known for its durability and performance, the knife boasts a stunning nashiji finish resembling pear skin, as evident from the pictures. Every detail has been meticulously taken care of, including the exquisite hand-engraving by Akane, as well as the beautiful calligraphy of the Yahiko logo on the packaging. We're delighted to present these exceptional knives to you!
