Villain Arc
Back up on the market.
Purchased for $471.20 shipped at the time.
This "thicker/WH" Manaka line is only available via Miura and is considerably chonkier than the standard lines. How so? I'll let the measurements speak for themselves.
(TLDR: this is basically a beefy WH version of his standard offerings.)
Measurements:
Spine thickness @ heel: 5.9mm
Spine thickness @ midpoint: 2.9mm
Spine thickness @ tip: 1mm
Edge length: 245mm
Heel height: 57mm
Weight: 306 grams (original weight of 312 grams)
Balance point is about 1.5cm behind the "1" (kanji side) which lends to the knife feeling lighter / less fatiguing as the weight may suggest.
The knife was thinned somewhat and later given a mini-spa treatment at Bernal (buffed) as a full thinning would've been a bit premature given that the knife has only been used a handful of times (home environment).
Pricing accordingly and to sell as it can certainly be worked further (if desired) but is also fine as is IMO.
Asking: $300 shipped CONUS
