The last of the blades which I'm parting with from my Japan trip!
This is an incredibly thin and light example, at only 154g. Truly a specimen! I got this directly from the Hitohira shop in Tokyo, to try side-by-side with my migaki version. They perform pretty much identically, but I chose to keep the migaki for the nice patina I have on it. The cedar handle on this one smells amazing! Used to cut maybe half an onion and a carrot, so essentially BNIB
Specs:
232 x 52
154g
Spine Width:
- 2mm at heel
- 2mm at makers mark
- 1.8mm halfway way down blade
- 1.5mm 3/4 way down blade

Asking: $475 OBO, US shipped and insured
Intl, I'll cover the first $15
