Although it is unused, it has developed surface rust on the blade from being displayed on a tool shop wall for a long time, so it will need sharpening before use.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eI discovered it at a specialty knife shop in the Kanto region. The previous owner, who collected it, has passed away. The current owner told me it was a piece from the previous owner's youth, but they can no longer provide any information about the blacksmith who made it. It could have been crafted by either a Japanese or a Western blacksmith.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThat said, the blacksmith was clearly highly skilled. The scythe features a sophisticated design with a thickened spine, showing only minimal file marks. Most of its shaping—including the urasuki section—was achieved purely through masterful hammer forging.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"TENMOKU","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48047396323566,"sku":null,"price":18000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0692\/0162\/5326\/files\/DSF2259_24069977-461c-4204-adc5-25280544a96b.jpg?v=1779579672","url":"https:\/\/tenmoku0701.myshopify.com\/ja\/products\/oogama-japanese-handmade-large-sickle","provider":"TENMOKU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
