Up for grabs a Baba Honyaki. Shirogami 2 forged by Nakagawa, full convex grind probably by Morihiro. More of a workhorse style grind.
I tried to "polish" it with uchi fingerstone to get rid of mirror finish but I created some burnishes so it needs a full polish.
255x51 mm
240g
spine 3,5 2,9 1,2
I bought it new form Miura - I believe it was sth around 1600e + import fees.
Comes with standard Baba lacquered saya
1250e shipped within EU, for intl shipping I pay first 20e

I've tried to even out the finish with uchi powder but no luck unfortunately. Also noticed some very shallow pitting spots that could be polished off. To cover part of the polishing price - price drop to 1100e. I've also got confirmation from Baba that this is a one off sample.
