This is a high-quality carving knife from Michihamono Kogyo, located in Miki City, Hyogo Prefecture, a town known for its blades. Purchased new and stored unused. Due to long-term personal storage, the cap has some scratches and minor marks. Since I no longer use it, I'm selling it at a bargain price as unwanted goods. Shipped via Yu-Packet Post Mini, for postal drop-off.
