It was manufactured over 30 years ago and has been left unused since then. The blade's side is made of very low-quality stainless steel, but the core material is said to be carbon steel. However, since the blacksmith who forged it has passed away, this cannot be confirmed with certainty. The type of wood used for the handle is also unknown, but it has a good feel in hand. ・What is the meaning of the characters engraved on the blades? The left side of the blade is engraved with two Japanese characters, which mean 'Nobumasa,' the name of this knife. ・What is Nobumasa? This company was established in Seki City, Gifu Prefecture, in 1964. They are not a manufacturer of cutlery but a wholesaler. They handle a variety of knives, including those made by well-known manufacturers like Misono, as well as those made by individual craftsmen. ・Who I would recommend this knife to. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a small Nakiri knife. However, please note that the core material of the blade is likely carbon steel, which is prone to rust. If left wet, it is highly likely to rust quickly. ■About me■I am a Japanese living in Tokyo and I love to cook. I sell only real items. Also, please do not worry about used items.
