WTS Minamoto Akitada 300 Honyaki yanagi

[xtcxtq]

This is a knife that I bought and restored. Purchased according to my friend 4 years ago, very beaten up when I received it, been in work at a sushi bar for all four years. Treated it as a fun project, put little over 20hrs of work onto it, started on binsui, then natsuya, nagura. After koma nagura hira finished with uchi and kiriha finished with diamond paste with strop board. Finishing touches done with kiita finger stone. The back concave is polished with @NickMinton ’s kasumi powder (shout out to this man, made it him self). Lastly etched with some lemon juice with soap.

Aogami 1 steel with very signature Minamoto Akitada hamon. Comes with an old Saya. 29.4 tip to heel (originally came 29.8)

Didn’t do a perfect job on the restoration but definitely does it’s job
Spent 450 and well over hundreds for the material loss on stones
Selling 350 OBO

Honyaki for $350. Somebody rob this man. He's asking for it. Pay every cent, not a cent less.
