Coolest yanagi I've ever seen aside from Sakai ume. Polish by @ethompson, help from @Greasylake

Another example also has 庄内笑住

205mm machi to tip
190mm edge
32mm tall
136g
5mm spine at handle
4mm spine at heel
3.7mm spine halfway
2.6mm spine shinogi at tip

Steel is like exceptional white. Better than unshu for me. Handle is two tone persimmon. The brazing helps seal the tang near the handle, and the brass is way more rust resistant than iron. Requires lower temp than welding a stainless tang I think. Quite interesting.

What makes this knife so desirable - is it just the type of steel used?
