Yamamoto Hamono Kataha Unagi-sabaki-bocho 110mm Aogami #1

One day you might find an unagi sabaki by Yamamoto san that is beautifully prepared, razor sharp and very affordable. Today is not that day.

But hey, one out of three ain't bad. This is your opportunity to acquire an ugly knife that looks like it was forged some time ago. Use it with careless abandon.

Yamamoto san is an old-timer, we believe him to be the oldest-timer. More famous for his forestry nata than his knives, admired for his longevity as much as his work. Nudging ninety-five and still forging. Although not in the early afternoon on a Tuesday. A call from the showroom floor woke him from an afternoon nap. Well deserved, no doubt.
