Premium Japanese Nakiri Knife - 6.5" Vegetable & Multi-Purpose Kitchen Knife - Perfect for Slicing, Dicing & Chopping Vegetables, Herbs & Fruits - Ideal for Home Chefs & Cooking Enthusiasts

The knife you receive is not the same as the one pictured. It is a cheap stamped knife with a wooden handle that has been stained to look like it is quality. The blade is not hammered at all, its just straight steel. I could have purchased an identical knife at the local Asian market for less than $10.
