This is another knife I brought home from Japan recently.
It's very similar in construction, fit and finish to the Hattori one,
but the handle is some other kind of wood, also untreated, and
there are 49 layers of stainless in the blade.

Good balance, cuts well, very nice looking. The most
expensive knife in this bunch, which may have to do with
where I purchased it (a department store in the second or
third most expensive part of Tokyo - but I simply didn't
find any knives in this class on the street where they
specialize in all sorts of kitchen-/restaurantware), but
rather good value for the money anyway, so I don't regret
buying it. If the price was the same as the corresponding
Hattori models, choosing between them wouldn't be easy.
Weight: 89 g Length: 245 mm Blade thickness: 1.5 mm
