I'm quite fond of this one and debating whether to sell it, but I guess I'll make it available for a few days while I'm in the US
- Background
- Originally got it here
- Spent a lot of time, effort, and abrasives making make bevel stone-ready, and then sent to Xinguo for a re-finish as I didn't have the means to deal with the ura etc.
- The low spots and the slight bend out of the factory have all been fixed. It'll be very easy to practice polishing on.
- The knife is now both a very well-finished piece and a polishing knife, arguably better finished than a new one (costs ~1k now?).
- Condition:
- Completely unused after the rework
- The knife has a thin layer of protective polymerized silicone oil coating on top. It prevents oxidation in daily use and can last for a long-time. it can be removed by any abrasive that removes patina.
- It's more durable than your average anti-oxidation oil coating, but of course softer than iron, so it can be scratched by harder things
- Price:
- $640
675shipped. - My cost includes $480 original purchase price + $90 refinishing + $50 various transaction costs, including shipping and payment + a few weekends of my own time
- Price includes shipping in the US, I'll cover the first $25 for global shipping.
- Methods - PayPal / Venmo / bank transfer are all fine.
- $640
