Hey folks. So a couple weeks back I was poking around in one of my old knife bags and stumbled upon a couple blades that Id forgotten I even owned, one of which being the one in the title.
I bought this 3-4 years back when I was going on a knife buying spree. Used it a handful of times and then stashed it and promptly forgot about. There was some light surface rust from being stored in the saya for so long, but it should come off pretty easily with a little finger stone treatment or other polishing method. Im not really concerned with the finish on my knives by and large and thus dont really have the gear or experience to do so, and yes I oiled it before I stashed it[emoji13]
Anyways... this thing has clouds for days!!! Very defined and detailed, almost kitaeji-like. I caught a little in the pics and can try to take more if necessary. Its a beaut!
The handle is one of the nicer shig handles Ive used. Has a deeper color and finish.
The saya is pine, and due to the softness has a couple dings, but nothing major. Nice figuring and a rustic construction.
Im currently not looking for any trades just a straight sale.
Considering the overall condition, rareness of kamagatas, saya, and current retail on shigs... Im pricing this to move, $475 shipped conus, international shares the weight.
And now the always $hitty iPhone pics!
Thanks for looking!
