SHAPE: Ko bocho. Literally a small knife in Japanese. This one happens to be right handed single bevelled and great for small tasks.

Traditional Japanese knives, such as this, should exclusively be sharpened by hand on Whetstones.

LENGTH: 90mm, 120mm or 150mm in length.
MAKER: Okeya - Miki city, Japan
