Ichimonji Honyaki 330mm Aoko Yanagi
I don't read Japanese, but using the translator and looking at Ichimonji web site I think they don't make this exact combination of finish and materials anymore, it used to sell for about $1,390 new.
Saya is included, black and white buffalo horn ferrule, it is black on the left side and white on the right side. octagon handle. Knife has been used. Above the shinogi has what they call "mirror polish" although not a true mirror, it is almost a mirror polish. The blade road has been polished by me with Ohira and uchigumori natural stones. It is fully sharpened and ready to use. Hamon is hard to see, I think to show hamon it would need a light etch. $550
