Sigh.

Literal catch and release as in "just dropped off by DHL 20 minutes ago" type of catch and release.

Beauty of a knife that really pops a lot more in-person but I've picked up two knives recently and don't want to make it three

Never used, sharpened, or stropped.

Paid $464.72 during the Ssale, asking $470 shipped CONUS to lose a bit under break-even which is an absolute DEAL considering the etched versions go for ~$433 without a polish and nicely done Yakusugi cedar handle. These normally go for ~$552 with the polish and handle!

Man, the link gives a really cool backstory of how the knife was made, and the maker. I wish more makers, especially Japanese smiths did this. Really cool blade, good luck with your sale.
