This is a Shibamasa VG5 Santoku 170mm, the three-purpose shape for vegetables, fish and meat in a light Western build.
The listing calls this the budget king of its corner: a thin san-mai VG5 stainless blade on a Western pakka wood handle, with a partial tang and no front bolster, which the listing credits for a knife so light long sessions will not fatigue your hand. The focus, it says, is where it belongs: the smooth cut of a good knife.
Wash with a neutral detergent after use and wipe it dry, and sharpen on a waterstone when the edge needs it.
Most of our products are handmade in Japan, and sometimes the one that you receive maybe slightly different to the photo. This is very common and in no way it will affect the performance of the product.
