SOLD VINTAGE MASAMOTO 360 YANAGI

[YG420]

Selling this pretty cool yanagiba. Bought as nos and never used, I just evened out the blade road and polished it, as well as sharpened it. It was made in the 90’s, so I guess it’s considered vintage now lol. Tons on banding on the iron. The knife feels great on the stones and is pretty easy to sharpen. The last 1/5 of the knife at the heel has a low spot, and I also chipped the corner of the heel smh. The tip is also tipped very very slightly. Shinogi is pretty straight, but does curve a little bit towards the low spot at the heel. The knife has a slight brownish tint from the polishing/sharpening session. The ura is clean, but I made some shallow scratches on it from sharpening the ura on a stone horizontally. The ura and edge all meet and is sharp. The bevel was finished on a botan and the micro bevel finished on a nakayama maruka. I was planning on using it on some brisket, but I think I’ll look for a long suji for that. Measures aprox 352x40. Price is $300 shipped in the US, intl ill cover the first $20. Thanks for looking!

It's not cheaper in Japan, either, haha. It's the lowest price anywhere.
