Product description
Here's the Takohiki-Sakimaru 270mm from the Byakko line made out of WS1 and forged by Kenji Togashi
HRC of 62
Handle made out of ebony and black buffalo horn ferrule
Weight of 183mm
Comes with a black saya.
Fro the cons: it has already develloped a bit of patina near the tip, there's a lot of scratches (see photos), some were made because of improper sharpening and others due to some jerk who thought he could use it without asking me prior ):<
I want to sell it maybe to someone who could take care of it better than me.
I bought it for 490€ (525 dollars)
Due to those imperfections I think -150€ (339€) is a fair discount.
