Murata Boho

I bought this knife to fulfill some gaps in my collection as I had sold some knives previously. I needed a funayuki,a blue 1 and a Kurochi finish. This knife fit those needs. The knife is light and nimble and after putting on a handle the balance point is behind the pinch grip which is just fine for me. It needs a sharpening although it was acceptable upon arriving. I think it’s a great value knife that everyone should try
