Japanes Nakiri bōchō

My friend wanted a "Japanese Vegetable knife" better known as a Nakiri bōchō. 

We used an old saw blade to make this knife.

The blade is approx 1.5mm thick with a full flat grind

It has a 600 grit satin finish.

The handle "bolster" is ebony and the back of the handle made of beech wood.  Brass pins.

It is nice and sharp and the front edge is also sharpened.

My friend uses it on a daily basis and absolutely loves the knife.
