Prior to listing, the item was professionally sharpened by the manufacturer. It has been hand-sharpened with a water whetstone, resulting in a sharpness like new. I do not have specialized knowledge, so if there is any discrepancy between the photos and the description, please prioritize the photos. The dotted areas of the handle are clean and free of dirt. However, please understand that this is a used item before purchasing. Depending on the item, there may be scratches or wear and tear from use. If you require the original outer box, an additional 1,000 yen will be charged for the box. Please send a message before bidding (the box may not be available). #Global #Misono #Gresten #Masamoto #Aritsugu #Kiya #Nenox #Sugimoto #Shun #Zwilling
