For sale is my practically unused Shigefusa Honesuki 165mm. It took a long consideration to decide to sell this knife as it does look amazing and is, at least to my knowledge, just one out of 3 that were ever made. I just does not seem able to give the knife the use it deserves.
Dimensions:
- heel to tip: 165mm
- height at the heel: 40mm
- width of the spine at the handle: 5.5mm
- width of spine at heel: 4.5mm
- width of spine at middle: 3.6mm
- width of spine 1cm from the tip: 1.8mm
- weight: 153g
Condition:
I have sharpened the knife once and the look of the wide bevel was really nothing to write home about. So I have finally decided to send it to Greg (from Wabocho) to give it the finish it deserves. The photos show the current condition. I have not used the knife since it came back from Greg. In other words - the knife is as close to "new" condition as lightly used knife can get

I forgot to take a new choil and tip shot so here are the photos from the time when I bought the knife, but of course there was no change in grind so these are still valid:
