Purchased in Osaka's Doguyasuji (kitchen tool street). Unused, but has minor scratches from long-term storage. Comes with original box (see photos). Easy-to-use size for home, with a substantial weight and good stability. Material: Copper, tin plating Mesh: Double-sided (coarse, fine) Made in Japan While a brand new, shiny item is nice, we hope you appreciate the presence and charm that comes with the passage of time. Please check the condition of the blade in the images. The blackening is discoloration and does not pose a health risk. If you are concerned, rub with a cream cleanser on a soft nylon brush, rinse thoroughly, and it will become less noticeable.
