The blade boasts a full mirror finish and features a distinctive Mt. Fuji hamon, with a full moon on the hira and a crescent moon on the ura. This knife comes with a certificate, a protective saya, and a kiri box.

Why is the blade length different from the displayed size? The size in the product title is a nominal reference used by knife makers. The actual blade can be slightly longer or shorter due to handcrafting and traditional sizing. Each product page lists the exact measured length.
