I purchased this for around 25,000 yen, but it was too long for the prep area at work, and the tip chipped. I sharpened it, but I think I only used it for about 3 days. I'm selling it because I'm going to buy a shorter one. Repairing this chip would compromise the shape, so I'm hoping someone who is okay with using it as is, or someone who can properly grind it down and fix it, will purchase it. I put a lot of thought into buying this knife, considering everything from the thickness to the weight, so I hope someone will take it.
