As those who know will understand, this is an unused knife, undoubtedly sharpened by Hakuhō. The "nioi" that appears on Japanese swords with the best sharpness is clear and beautiful. "Nioi" refers to the characteristic blade pattern where the steel particles near the hamon (temper line) are fine and hazy, giving a soft, blurred impression within the strength. Swords with "nioi" are said to have superior sharpness because they are made of hard, dense metal molecules. Mr. Masakuni Genkai's knives are all excellent, but this knife feels a little special. Knives with the "nioi" I described earlier are extremely rare. I will accept price negotiations, but I am not considering a significant discount. To prevent swapping, I have set it up without anonymous shipping. After recording the buyer's address and name, I will switch to anonymous shipping and ship the item. This is a rather old knife, and due to long-term storage, there is a slight amount of rust. Returns and exchanges are not accepted.
