Because these are handmade products, the final knife delivered may be several mm longer or shorter than the stated length. Note that the stated length is measured incl. The Chikiri (lever), the cutting length of the blade with a 90 mm Higonokami is approximately 70-75 mm for the 100 mm version and 90-96 mm for the 120 mm variant.
