Product description

Offering this awesome little knife for $375. I paid about $475 less than a a year ago. Open to reasonable offers, especially if you buy other knives I have listed here as well. Includes the original packaging/box.

DESCRIPTION FROM RETAILER:
Hado Junpaku knives are made from the purest carbon steel grade, Shirogami #1. Also known as White Paper steel, this type of steel can be sharpened sharper than other types of steel. The purity of the steel also makes it easy to sharpen yourself. However, the steel is sensitive to acids and thus must be wiped regularly. The hard carbon core is protected by two layers of stainless steel folded over the shirogami steel. This combination of shiro #1 with stainless steel is quite rare. The oak handle has a traditional octagonal shape that provides a good grip, even with wet hands. Thanks to the special Urushi lacquer coating, the knife looks super-luxurious.
