Shozaburo Made Black Three-Layered Steel Nakiri Knife and Santoku Knife Set

I purchased these knives because I wanted to see the difference between Chigusa steel and Dewa steel knives.

Chigusa and Dewa are representative brands and origins of Japanese steel (Tamahagane) that were once used in the production of Japanese swords. During the Edo period, along with Tamahagane, they were highly prized by swordsmiths nationwide as the highest quality raw material for Japanese swords.
There is a high possibility that these will never be used, so I am listing them for sale.
Thank you for your consideration.
