Original Listing: https://www.japanesenaturalstones.com/munetoshi-kurouchi-gyuto-240mm-bloomery-iron-nr20/?searchid=0&search_query=Munetoshi+uchigumori
Per Maxim at JNS, the Munetoshi Uchigumori line is no longer made. This was purchased from the last line available.
The specs for this one are interesting as it is taller than most other bloomery at 55mm and also boasts a beefier grind to boot.
Pricing is non-negotiable unless stated otherwise as these are discontinued and already discounted HEAVILY to retail (~$780 MSRP).
Specs:
Handle Length- 145mm
Handle Width- 25mm
Hell to Tip Length- 245mm
Blade Height at Heel- 55mm
Width of Spine at Handle- 5,3mm

weight - 270g (this is not a typo)
Full disclaimer: Maxim installed the blade at a bad angle so it is slightly crooked out of the handle. I would be happy to remount the handle for the next owner or I can leave it as-is should you be more proficient in the handiwork side of things.
