Pros: Blade Sharpness, Overall Quality
Cons: None
a simple, elegant tool
Mine came in perfect condition (with only a bit of sawdust) and very sharp. It has that refined Japanese sensibility. The tang is fairly narrow, so it might not be the best for heavy use. Scabbard doesn't fit tightly, so you wouldn't want to pocket carry it, but a nice item to have on your workbench.
