Trade in bunka in like new condition with original packaging and saya. This powdered stainless steel knife has a hammer (tsuchime) finished with a higher polish than most migaki and shows no signed of use. It does have a small inclusion of very light oxidation right on the heel, presumably from being held and not wiped off or used after, but the edge looks untouched. This example from Yu Kurosaki is expected to have the same quality heat treatments leading to great edge retention from the SG2 core and it ground a bit thicker than what we have in his HAP40 line. Comes as received.
