I bought it second hand, unused and unsharpened but has some rusts and insect damage at the hone ferrule which I've fixed myself.

It's 33cm, no lebel on the box and the saya is Nenohi.

I've only seen factory mirror polished bevel from Nenohi knives, how do you think?

My curiosity, is this a Nenohi?

Hamon slightly fades towards the tip(water quenched Shirohagane?)

Just done Honbazuke of it.

Great knife, very even bevel with minimum amount of gouging,
Hira is fairly flat and making the Shinogi true and straight didn't take much effort.

Very good Ura too.
