Hiyas folks,
I found this sitting in my junk drawer the other day, having been unused for quite a bit, and decided it might be time to let it go.
Full disclosure:
The knife has been used, lowball estimate, to slice at least 500 loaves of crusty bread in a professional capacity. The edge is not nearly as good as it was stock, and could most likely use a bit of sharpening if you have the means to sharpen a scalloped edge. It'll still slice your bread just fine, but don't expect "like new" performance.
The logos and kanji have started to fade from abrasion with green scrubber pads, which also left a light scratch pattern on the blade itself. If you've ever cleaned a knife with a green scrubbie, you know what this looks like.
There are no real problems with the handle scales, though there are a few slight idiosyncrasies between them in the finish.
Also throwing in the extremely high quality, hand-made saya you see in the below picture jumping at no extra charge! Take that, MARKO.
Sorry about the quality. I'm not attempting to conceal anything wrong with the knife (that I didn't already mention), just woke up and not feeling like fussing with the camera.
