Additional Information: Used. It came from a retired carpenter in Saitama Prefecture. The blade is generally in good condition and has a long lifespan ahead of it. There was some rust on the "Urasuki" part (which has been removed). The "Ura" is currently in good condition, and I've sharpened it to 3000 grit. The blade bevel has been sharpened to 1000 grit.

If you want to get better performance from the blade, I suggest making a new wooden body for it.
