Just received the shig yani from Japan Woodworker. Shipping box had next to no packing materials, and the knife was just sitting loose in the knife box itself. And as a consequence the last millimeter of so of the tip is missing/bent, and there's a series of abrasions just below the shinogi on the blade road that I couldn't quite capture in the pics. I haven't contacted them yet but I'm on the fence about whether I should ask for a refund or see if they're willing to pay for repairs/refinishing.
