This item was purchased new. It has only been used to shave two-thirds of a whole dried bonito (katsuobushi) and has been stored on a shelf since then. I am selling it to organize my belongings. Please refer to the photos for the condition of the item and the shaving blade. This is not a new item, so please refrain from purchasing if you are sensitive to imperfections or intend to make a claim. If you have any questions, please be sure to ask them in the comment section beforehand. Also, immediate purchase is welcome. Shipping will be in a 60cm cardboard box, with the item wrapped in bubble wrap. Thank you for looking.
