Knife Japan: New Products - Toyonaga Hamono / Tosa

Toyonaga Hamono Premium Yanagiba 240mm

Mon, 30 Apr 2018 21:58:40 +0000

As with all the Toyonaga Hamono products we've seen, fit and finish of this yanagiba are of a very high standard. There's something about a polished choil that just does it for us.

Toyonaga Hamono Fuguhiki 300mm left-handed
