Trade in with about 2mm sharpened in, previous owner didn’t speak shirogami and ground the edge a bit out of wack after bending it, it has been straightened and edge corrected but the bevel is slightly irregular and there are a few stray scufffs.

Hand forged in Sakai and ground by a young sharpener in Sakai, the low price is to help support the sales of this series while he is training, we are impressed with the quality of his work the forging is of course top notch.
