These are unused items, but they are vintage tools stored for a long period. They are not in “mint” condition like brand-new modern factory products. Please expect minor surface patina, slight storage marks, or spots on the blades. Please examine the high-resolution photos carefully. As with all high-carbon steel tools, they will rust if exposed to moisture. Please maintain with camellia oil. Initial sharpening (honing) is recommended to reach the master blacksmith’s intended potential. Thank you for visiting our listing! Please read this before purchasing.
