For sale is one new, irregular*:  Shun Higo Nokami Personal Folding Steak and Pocket Knife with Leather Sheath and Lacquer Presentation Box, model 5900; made in Japan. 

*Condition Note:  New with aesthetic irregularity.  1) There is a natural hairline-streak in the wood grain.  2) Two of the rivet-heads are not completely flush with the handle.  It should be noted that this is completely normal for the series and should not be considered a defect (sometimes it is quite severe and these fall well within normal tolerances).  3) Presentation box shall have damage to the felt from the lever.  This is completely normal and affects virtually all units (they are a mass-produced and practically disposable novelty, often with defects such as warping and loose hinges).  4) Stock images shown for reference, save for final three images that depict the actual handle pattern.  Please understand that additional images will not be made available due to the quantity of knives processed and numerous requests that are received.

The elegant Higo Nokami knife brings the same quality and cutting performance you've come to expect from Shun's fine kitchen cutlery.  Its razor-sharp edge shall slice perfect portions of steak without tearing.  Whether to start or supplement a set, this knife is certain to change your culinary experience just as it has for professional chefs worldwide.
