Additional Information: Unused, in brand new condition. This saw comes from the collection of a retired carpenter in the Saitama area, who has left it unused since purchasing. It was carefully wrapped in a newspaper dated 2004. It is highly likely that the carpenter bought it directly from the blacksmith; during my own visit to the blacksmith, I noticed that all of his finished saws ready for sale were wrapped in newspaper just like this. I will ship the saw with this original newspaper.
