Mikami Hamono bunka-bocho 170mm Aogami #1

In a perfect world, in its perfect state, this bunka bocho by Mikami Masayuki would have a crisp point at each end of the blade. This knife is not perfect. The very tip has been lost, and the heel is likewise less than perfect. It's how it came. So if that kind of thing puts you off, don't buy the knife. Please study our images carefully.

Does it need rectifying? Nah, it's fine. This knife can be used and enjoyed and in the normal course of use and sharpening it will gradually become perfect. Or quickly, if you're a perfectionist who can't wait and is happy to put the time in. Anyway, it's here if you want it. Click click.
