I'm not really sure the origins of this knife. It is old and I inherited it. It says "Sakai King Knife" on the box. It appears to be a Nakiri knife, but that's just my guess. It has "225" written on it, not sure what that means. The blade is a little over 6" long. It also has "Japan Fukui" printed on the blade. If more pictures are desired, please let me know.
