Prior to listing, the item was professionally sharpened by the manufacturer. It has been hand-sharpened with a water whetstone, resulting in a cutting edge as good as 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. There may be scratches and wear from use, depending on the item. If you require the original box, there will be an additional charge of 1,000 yen 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
