Making some room and letting this one go. It’s been used maybe a dozen times and built up some nice patina which I can remove if requested. This might be the only 1.2562 honyaki ever made due to how tough the steel is. If you think AS honyaki are rare, this is even rarer since1.2562 has even more tungsten than AS making it even more tough thus abrasive resistant. Basically hand sanding this stuff is a nightmare and just not economical which is why no big makers do it. I did sharpen it once just to see how it would act on the stones, but tbh this thing holds an edge so long you could probably get by with sharpening it once a year. Balance point is right on the heel. It’s overall a very fun knife to use.

Selling for $550 shipped in the CONUS. The original sales link below has all the details. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions.

I ended up removing most of the patina with some natural stone powder and gave the saya and handle a nice buffing with some oil and beeswax. Updated photos below:
