Howdy all.

This wasn't a knife I planned on selling considering it is one of the few that I have repurchased after selling my OGs.

However, I recently picked up a Shihan which is fairly similar overall and have a custom on the way so I'd rather re-home this to someone who can truly enjoy it.

(I use all my knives equally and only keep as much as I can reasonably use vs. having 40+ knives in the backlog.)

Originally used by the great @DarwellianEmpire in a pro environment & sharpened on an Aizu once => used twice by me in a home environment and touched up once on my Aizu. It has not been thinned or "modified" otherwise.

I will include a few pieces of Uchigumori that were gifted to me with the purchase re. fingerstone use once prepared.

Paid $430 shipped CONUS, asking $420 shipped.

Great knife and great seller. I would have kept but this was the nail in the coffin for me realizing that I prefer Sakai profiles. That being said this is by far the most comfortable handle I have ever used on a knife. I genuinely wish I had kept that handle.
