Size (Longest one) : 32 × 4.5 cm

Total Weight : 135 g


The characteristics of Japanese knives include their sharpness and durability, as they utilize sword-making techniques. Their quality is recognized worldwide. The oldest surviving Japanese knife dates back to the Nara period and is preserved in the Shosoin in Nara. Knives were considered consumables that needed to be sharpened, so very few have survived, but it's believed that they existed even before the Nara period. The shape of these ancient knives resembles that of Japanese swords, with exceptionally long handles.

Knives of this shape were used until the mid-Edo period. It's said that knives with similar shapes to today's deba, yanagiba, and nakiri knives were perfected from the mid to late Edo period. The Edo period was a time of stability and cultural development in Japan, leading to the flourishing of various culinary cultures and the evolution of tools to match.

Good but the seller could declare as others sellers the real valor of the products not + delivery + VAT in order to not pay customs taxes. I paid 16 euros more for nothing

cuando algo está dañado como el filo de los cuchillos y no se puede ver bien en las fotos lo correcto es decirlo o destacarlo y siento que el vendedor no contesta a los mensajes gracias

He recibido el paquete y uno de los cuchillos tenía la punta rota, en las fotos de la subasta estaba bien y pese a comprender que puede pasar, no he recibido ninguna respuesta del vendedor. gracias
