You know what it is, you know you've been thinking about buying one.
This guy was bought early October (so quite new), has been used extensively in a pro capacity since, and has been sharpened twice (both times by people much better than myself).
280mm heel to tip, about 52mm tall spine to heel. Additional pictures available on request.
(Right Click for Big)
There's a few scratches near the tip from Masamoto's world renowned initial sharpening (haha), as well as some very light scuffs on the blade face and ferrule from casual pro-kitchen abrasion. The wicked blue patina is included free of charge and the edge still has some bite (though it could use a polish at a higher grit or strop to really sing again).
Retails new for $350, I'll ship this guy to your CONUS address for $260, PayPal only, with international shipping possible at a higher rate.
