Seller's description:
Isamitsu Knives are made in a small workshop in Ibaraki JP by Abu Kuki and Gaku Kanatsu, former apprentices of Teruyasu Fujiwara.
This gyuto is one of their top offers, in aogami super heat treated to perfection, and stainless clad.
The finish is beautiful and has a very unique tsushime style on a black Ku.
It has been never sharpened and has an insane ootb edge that went through a few test cuts (very light patina on part of the edge that can be easily removed on request).
Thinnest knife I have ever seen, grind goes to 0 well before the edge (see choil shots).
The handle is absolutely stunning with a premium ebony octagonal and white horn ferrule with stripes.
The transition between the two materials is flawless.

Nice knife but as mentioned above, the description should be updated to indicate used.

On the site you can choose through unused or very good condition. A few test cuts is not a very good condition, is a perfect condition imho with a very light patina. Anyway it's clearly explained the type of use.

There is no used or unused option.
You can go through unused (new) very good good and fair condition.

• "Very good (little to no signs of use)" is the correct option for anything that has a patina and cut produce. Anything else is a misrepresentation.

Well, I don't know who the actual seller is, but even if it's used just once, it's by definition no longer "unused".

The description clearly describes the kind of use and as I said a few test cuts imo are different than going through a shift or a few where your knife can be in very good condition as well. I mean I have very good conditioned knives that actually have been used. Anyway I just change it no problem.

Why don't you advertise directly on KKF? There is something odd about these linked listings to another selling platform.

Because I find it very convenient and handy on the shipping aspect
