Hey guys! I recently found out that Anryu san has retired, and has passed the torch, resulting in many of the Anryu knives under his Kanji going up in value. I loved this blade but I rarely cook fish at home and would rather have the money right now.
History: First owner, bought from Japanny roughly 3 years ago. Have used a total of less than 10x, sharpened once. Have conditioned the handle with beeswax about 4x a year. The patina was never forced, nor has it been removed or stripped off. Used exclusively on fish, no other ingredients
Current state: Light amount of patina, this is all that has developed so far as it has never seen much use. There are a couple light marks that appear to be scratches, it was like that when I received it from Japanny. The most major one is about 2/3rds of the way away from the handle, on the right side of the blade. I made sure to capture photos for you. There does appear to be a very slight amount of rust potentially starting on the left side of the blade somewhat close to the tip, I took photos of that as well. It's so minor I didn't notice it until taking these photos, but I want to have full disclosure.
Please message me with any questions
Asking at least $800 + Shipping to lower 48 states, or it's not worth me selling.
Comes with original box, and after-market felt edge guard
