WTS Sakai Kyōmitsu oldstock 195 mm Aogami kamagata usuba

[Krakorak]

Bought it from a friend who has some contacts in Sakai, should be about 40 years old, maker is unknown, the steel is Aogami, without closer specification. I originally intended to use it for "playing" with naturals, but its a little too nice for it and I also want every single knife to be used and unfortunately, I don't find any reasonable work for this one in the kitchen, among all my gyutos, so that's the reason why I am letting it go...Quite cool and nicely made knife, in my opinion, its in great condition, I did some work only on flattening the kireha (which is 95% done, with about two light low spots left), ura is basically untouched...

Edge length is 195 mm, weight is 200 g, height is 47 mm. And the price is 320 USD shipped (I will cover shipping up to 20 USD which is for instance a standard insured shipping to USA, if there would be a difference, the buyer pays the rest).
