Mikami Hamono Nakiri-bocho 160mm Aogami #1 (54mm blade height)

So why do we offer a measure at the top of the blade path. Well, that's how long your knife will eventually be.

Mikami san's son has said "My dad's knives get sharper the more you sharpen them and the more you use them." Add to that, they get longer the more you sharpen them and the more you use them.

This migaki example is uncommonly light.
