I know this knife is a kikuichi (the chrysanthemum gives it away), but I know nothing else about it. The blade is definitely carbon. It's shaped like a Bano Ko-Bocho, but that is a style almost strictly Takeda. After hours of searching online, I can't find another Kikuichi like it. Does anyone know anything about this knife? I would love to know what kind of steel it is made from. It sharpens like a White #2 carbon, but it feels more like a blue #2 when I use it and touch the blade, so I'm not certain. Any help is appreciated. The blade is only 4" long.
