Should i worry about rust inside the engraving? How can i keep that dry or remove rust inside the engraving?

Normal cleanup should involve very hot water and thorough drying. A single drop of tsubaki oil on each side of the blade spread thin with fingers. Start with the drop at the engraving and it should flow into the marks, preventing rust. Store in a dry saya or on a mag bar. Wipe with a clean soft cloth before use.......repeat, enjoy. If rust needs to be removed, use the finest Yoshihiro rust eraser and work with the grind lines.

Bought as a wedding gift, up due to a medical emergency, the event has been delayed 6 months. Is the blade ok in original packaging for that long?

There shouldn’t be a problem as long as the knife is not exposed to moisture. It’s a great gift.

Are these knives made in Japan?

Yes, Yoshihiro Yanagi knives are hand made in Japan. Thank you

What is the overall length of the 300mm ("12inch") knife, including the handle? Trying to make sure it would fit in my knife roll... Thx.

I own the 10" blade. My D shape handle is 5 1/4" long 1" in the widest part. I suggest you to contact Yoshihiro, they have the best costumer service and carry different handle styles, this is one of the best Japanese Knifes and great value. You may want a new roll or the 10" model, which suits me to perfection.
