Masakuni "barn find"

[lordy]

I have been looking for a Masakuni concave cutter on ebay and either couldnt find anything, or it seemed unnecessarily expensive. Until now. I found two cutters from one seller who bought these "20 years ago" (his words) and never used them. Look at the prices on the boxes. I paid significantly more than those prices, but I couldnt even find these models for sale. Hopefully these were made in a time when materials and craftsmanship still meant something. I'm guessing it was long enough ago that these will last me a LONG time.
