All knives have a machined, buffed/polished finish and are flat ground, raw forged finish, hand sharpened on Japanese water stones.
The bottom two are clad with mild steel, the blade will patina quickly.

Simple traditional rural Japanese style wa handle. This is useful because the handle does not become slippery
when wet, and requires little maintenance. Handle coated with tung oil.
Knife will come in either a simple a leather slip case or padded zipper case.

Payment is via PayPal, check or money order.
Free priority mail shipping in the US. International is ok, shipping to be quoted

Thanks for looking.

Can you tell me about the grind and balance of number four? How would it do for vegetable prep?

these are all sold, I just updated the thread

These are light and quick because of the lighter poplar handle
I generally make thin slicers.

pls contact me to discuss your specific requirements
