This is a Nakiri knife made of SK carbon steel, manufactured in Sanjo, one of the leading cutlery manufacturing areas in Japan. Regarding the blade pattern, since it is printed, it will eventually fade away. Depending on how you sharpen it with a whetstone, it may disappear sooner. However, if you sharpen it at a shallow angle with a whetstone until the pattern fades, you can enjoy its wonderful sharpness. ・What is the meaning of the letters engraved on the blades? The blade's right side is engraved with five letters. The first two signify 'registered,' the next two represent the name 'Teruhide' for this knife, and the last one means 'work.' By the way, the characters written on the handle's sticker convey the same meaning. ・What is Sanjo Shimomura? This company was established in 1874 in Sanjo City, Niigata Prefecture. They manufacture and sell various types of knives. Many of the knives they make have their own unique characteristics. For example, although they use very expensive blade materials, they drastically reduce the price by making the handles and other parts of the knives of low quality, and vice versa. Each model has its own distinct personality, ranging from those that emphasize design to those that focus on practicality regardless of design. As a result, their knives can be a matter of personal preference. ・Who I would recommend this knife to. I would recommend this item to anyone who wants to buy a rust-prone but sharp carbon steel Nakiri knife at the lowest possible price. *I strongly recommend the use of a whetstone when sharpening this knife. By sharpening it regularly with whetstone, you will be able to enjoy the true potential of this knife for a long time. If you sharpen this knife with a rod or a simple sharpener, you will not be able to use this knife to its full potential.*This knife is prone to rust, so be sure to wipe it dry after use. If left as is, it will 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.
