I wrote about the boning knife before on May 26th.

It took a bit more than 3 months but it is now ready to ship.

My am not good at taking pictures but please enjoy.

It is 145mm long and  25mm wide. Spine is about 4mm. Weight is 116g.

I am not so good to take Kitaeji pictures.

The backside is almost flat. This is Urakou 裏鋼 and it a very time consuming and very difficult to make. See also the Kitaeji at the backside.

Spine.
This is the first Honesuki Maru with Wa handle made by Shigefusa.
