Japanese Sushi Knife

Post by conslade »

I picked up this sushi knife last weekend. I'm not sure if it is trash or a treasure. It needs cleaning and sharpening and some TLC, but looks like it might be be a good'un. Blade is 9 1/2" with a 5 1/4" handle. The only markings are the Japanese writing in the picture. Can anyone help identify it? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not certain of the maker but when I have a question about Japanese chef knives I go to this website for information. https://japanesechefsknife.com/
There is a ton of information here and they usually keep pictures and descriptions up long after the knives have sold out. You could at least get an idea of the materials used and maybe the maker. Hope this helps.
