For your consideration tonight is a 135mm Kikuichimonji deba. Steel is pretty nice, iron is fairly average as far as softness goes. The grind was pretty clean when I received it, only some minor low spots which didn't take too long to correct. The labels on the box are pretty yellowed so I'm inclined to think the knife is probably fairly old, I can't say for certain really but it looks neat at least.

The knife sells for 25k yen new, or about $200 dollars so I'll ask $100 shipped CONUS

Darn my handedness. I got rid of a Wat Ajikiri some time ago on BST because it just wasn’t a Deba (i.e. thin) and have been hoping for something like this, but backwards, to pop up sometime. I can hope. GLWS.
 
Spine thickness at the heel is 8mm, tapers down to 4mm at the end of the shinogi. Heel height is 47.5mm and weight is 214g
