## Questions & Answers

**Q: My knife appears to only be beveled on one side.  Is the normal?  My first yoshihiro**
A: Hello,

Your knife is a double beveled knife and not a single beveled knife. You are most likely being confused by the 70/30 microbevel from the traditional Koba sharpening on the blade. The Koba sharpening is a traditional Japanese hand-made sharpening method for our double-edged knives that enhances their sharpness  and durability of the edge but your knife is a double-beveled knife if you inspect it past the initial Koba Sharpened edge. Single-edged knives additionally have a concave back that would be very noticeable.

This is a common misconception for users who aren't familiar with Koba sharpening and if you're worried, you can contact us via email at info@echefknife.com and we can assist you directly.

Yoshihiro Cutlery

**Q: Is the handle good for left handed use?**
A: The handle is fine for either hand, but my knife is only beveled on the left side of the blade so it might make for an awkward cut for a leftie.

**Q: I  see a customer photo with light colored horn handle. The main pictures have black.  How do I buy the lighter color in the customer photo?**
A: That is different handle.  The light color bolster handle was offered 6 years ago. Currently we offer Black bolster and Mahogany bolster only.

Thank you
Yoshihiro knife

**Q: Hello. Has anyone had problems with the blade retention in the epoxied handle? Has use loosened or created gaps between the two? Thank you.**
A: Yikes! I just got mine 2 weeks ago and so far so good. How long have you owned it?
