Masamoto Hamo-kiri Knife, Hide, Blade Length 21.5cm

This is a Masamoto Hamo-kiri (conger eel knife).
The blade length is approximately 21.5 cm.
The steel type is unknown (I believe it's likely Shirogami steel).
It has the Hide stamp.
The handle is made of black buffalo horn.

I previously listed this item, but there were some areas of concern, so I have re-sharpened and re-polished it.
I also tried using new whetstones and polishing materials.

This is a Hamo-kiri knife with a blade length of 21.5 cm.
A knife of this size has a dignified presence.

Since it has been mirror-polished, a few minor rust marks remain.
I recommend it if these are not a concern for you.

Overall, it is in beautiful condition and should last for a long time.

Both the cutting edge and the flat surface are almost mirror-finished.
The weight balance is good, and I recommend it for professionals.

The whetstones used for finishing are Kitayama #8000, Shapton #12000, and a natural whetstone.
It is in excellent cutting condition and ready for immediate use.

● Size: Blade length approx. 215mm
