This here is a beautiful 230mm restoration Yanagiba. Still with its original magnolia handle. It's been polished up and finished with beeswax and orange oil to seal and treat the wood. I believe the steel is Sirogami and it's a right handed single bevel. Its been sharpened on a whetstone from 1000-3000 then finished on a leather strop.
This knife needs to be treated with love and care and should never be washed in a dishwasher or left in a sink.
After use wipe this knife clean with a soapy rag and hot water and then thoroughly dry it. If this knife is going to be hanging around for a long time in between uses, I would suggest putting some mineral oil on it for something to protect the steel
