Product Description
The bannou-bocho is the all-rounder - the knife of ten thousand abilities, if you take the kanji characters literally. It's a general-purpose kitchen knife intended for use in the home.
The length of this particular knife - 165mm or 6½ inches - is probably the most common length of this very common knife style. It hits a sweet spot in that it has the versatility and length to prepare full family meals and still isn't too much knife for singles or couples. Nice price too.
Minomo Kajiya have been around a long time and currently the 8th, 9th and 10th generations are active in the business. They know their stuff. Their traditional blades, like this bannou, are certified as dentou kougei by Kumamoto Prefecture, so you can be assured you're purchasing an honest-to-goodness handcrafted bannou knife, forged in the traditional fashion - no shortcuts.

I found an old used blade in the market, after years I understood the origin, it's Minomo, magnificent blade. Now I wanted a new one of the same type, out of curiosity for a comparison, this one is also magnificent. Arrived in Europe in 48 hours, with excellent detailed invoicing. Thank you KnifeJapan for the great service and for offering unique products.
