The knife itself cannot be measured because it remains unopened, but it is likely around 100g. Please allow for any storage marks or light soiling from storage.
This knife is single-beveled and made of hagane (carbon steel), offering excellent sharpness. An unopened traditional sashimi knife like this is appealing both as a practical tool and as a well-preserved example for collectors or careful users.
