Sakai Kiku Takashi Yanagiba 300mm Carbon Steel 165 mm sometimes even cost more thanKiku Takashi is a value line from Aoki hamono of Sakai (also owns Sakai Takayuki brand). This line while priced very cheap, is still hand forged and sharped by skilled craftsmen from Sakai, using quality high carbon white steel (can rust!), it really gets the job done. I decided to carry this line for those who is on a very tight budget or just want to have a test on single bevel knives. Measurements Measurements Weight g Total Length mm Tip to Heel
