Very well made and the handle is very comfortable in my opinion.

Jikko branded. According to the store, this is forged by Yamatsuka. Arguably the best as far as ginsan goes (obviously Nakagawa is up there too these days)

It weights 463g.
The spine tapers from 2mm to 1mm.
The full length is 322mm. The edge is 218mm.

The picture below has more detailed measurements the store sent me. Will post my pictures below this post.

First and only owner. Only made some test cuts.

Think I paid around $500. Selling for $380 $350 $325 G&S with free shipping CONUS. Will cover the first $20 for outside of CONUS.

I'm a bit surprised myself this one is still here. Do people not like ginsan clevers? This is about the best one you can get.

Let's try $325. I might also withdraw this one since this is my last clever in the house and basically maintenance free.
