A new addition to my collection, Hattori KD30 (Cowry X) Yanagiba 330mm mirror finished.
Overall length is 480mm (18.9'), Weight is 237g.
Blade measures 325mm (12.8') and it's 37.3mm (1.47') at the heel.
The spine is 4.51mm at the heel and 0.91mm at the tip.

I consider re-handling, maybe carved wood or ivory wa handle, any suggestions

I can't really support the ivory idea, pre ban or not. Simple ebony, would look great and bring out the elegance of the blade.
 
can't support ivory either. lots of ivory coming in and out of my country for sure. by catholic priests no less.
 
Awesome looking blade, it will look great on any kind of exotic hardwood such as Cocobolo or Padauk perhaps.
