Hand-forged by legendary blacksmith Yoshikazu Tanaka in Sakai, with Shirogami (White) #2 steel. This large (and tall) carbon yanagiba is supplied with timber saya and magnolia handle.
Finish level on these knives is a great mid range, super usable and the pricing reflects this. A 330 from Tanaka would normally by around the $1000 mark otherwise.
We also have 1 knife with minor scratches near the kanji engraving, nothing serious.

* High-carbon steel kitchen knives will change colour (patina) during use, care is required to prevent surface rust.

I have built a very strong relationship with ProTooling. Paul (the owner) has a very good attitude and that reflects in the products he stands behind. He provides only the best quality through all of the good relationships he has been able to grow throughout the years with the top craftsmen in Japan. He and his staff are amazing. Keep up the good work.
