Additional Information: It is lightly used and in good condition. I did a repair sharpening, bevel to 2000 grit, ura to 5000 grit. Judging by the level of precision, this is an early-career work by the blacksmith. 

In the process of sharpening, the steel quality really stood out. I was able to get a consistent linear burr, reminiscent of Kiyotada's work.
