There is a crack on the spine side of the handle. It does not appear to be spreading, and since it is a narrow handle, it has been left as is. Because this is a traditional Japanese knife, replacing the handle is also an option for those who are concerned. The condition is reflected slightly in the price, so it may be a good value for someone who does not mind it.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis knife is single-beveled and made of hagane (carbon steel), offering excellent sharpness.\u003cbr\u003eA long yanagiba like this is well suited to sashimi and sushi preparation, and users familiar with wa-handles may consider a future handle replacement if desired.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe knife has been sharpened, so it is ready to use immediately upon arrival.
