I might not sell it if that were the case :pirate1:. You might be interested in this.

This isn't meant to be skeptical but I find it funny that the Fujiyama smith is not the one making the knives with the Mt. Fuji hamon

Interested member decided to go a different direction. Knife is back up for sale. $225 OBO

What are some pitfalls to be mindful of when venturing down that road?
