Product description
Listed as unused with imperfections as the original ho-wood handle was removed (planned to re-handle) but has otherwise never been used, sharpened, or stropped.
Purchased a while ago but looking to sell as I'm exiting the game; pricing accordingly below market.
To my knowledge, no Kurouchi workhorse were sold by Maxim at Japanese Natural Stones (JNS). However, this knife is even more robust than a recent White #1 Yoshiaki Fujiwara / Kiyoshi Kato Workhorse sold on JNS; hence why it is being described as such.

250mm blade length x 52.5mm heel height.
~ 210 grams without the handle.
Taper measurements from when the handle was originally installed: 6mm out of the handle => 5mm above the heel => 2.5mm mid => 1mm 1cm before the tip.
