This is a yanagiba (sashimi slicing knife) by Sensuke, a single-bevel Japanese knife with a blade made from Hitachi Yasuki Aogami No.2 (Blue Paper No.2) high-grade carbon tool steel and a shitan (rosewood) handle in the shinogi style.
Condition: New and unused, but stored by a private individual, so there are fine line scratches (see photo 3) and some rust (see photo 5). Please refer to the photos for the item's current appearance and condition.
The blade steel holds a keen, long-lasting edge. As carbon steel it is prone to rust, but it offers sharpness that stainless steel cannot match. The shitan shinogi handle gives this Japanese knife a beautiful appearance.
