Hi everyone,
bought this from Yamasuke and presented here first.
Unfortunately, a crack came up at the frontside. Therefore I also flattenend the backside. It has lost some height but everything is fine right now. A very fine, superficial crack is still left. Since you can't feel it when sharpening, I stopped flattening not to lose more height. I would assume that it will disappear completely in future. Besides that, there are no toxic inclusions, lines, etc.
Medium hardness, fast and not too fine.
Dimensions: 204x76x23 mm
Weight: 820 g
All sides are sealed.
Located in Germany. Asking 330 USD incl. shipping in EU. For world wide shipping I will cover the first 20 USD.
A video from Yamasuke is shown here.
