Itou Higonokami - Ironwood and R2 Damascus
Direct from JapaneseKnivesDirect
Traditional Higonokami folder with 3 1/8" kiridashi R2 damascus blade with 4 1/2" Desert Ironwood handles. Simple slip-joint mechanism with thumb opening lever. Copper pivot pin and washer.
Never used, carried, or sharpened. Mint
It was just purchased - August, 2015. Very special, but it's just not for me. So off it goes. It has been taken out only for inspection and the photos.
Asking $115.00 shipped (includes PP fees). Shipping only to USA (please see note below). NO TRADES.
PLEASE NOTE:
I'm a US citizen with a US address, but currently and temporarily residing in Kyoto, Japan. The knife is in Kyoto and will be shipped from Kyoto...EMS with tracking (usually 4-5 days) with tracking to your door. Shipping to/from Japan is extremely efficient. I have lived on and off here for a combined total of over 7 years. And I've received and sent many knives to and from the US during this time with no problems. Almost all of my feedback on the Bay has been from Japan.

First unconditional "I'll take it" posted in this thread followed by an immediate email to arrange payment gets first priority. If I do not receive an email, the knife will go to the next in line. Please state your username if you contact via email.
