Here is the list of places I visited:

Day two (15th) Shigefusa Hamono, Sanjyou Seisakujyo (Iwasaki) and another blacksmith. I had long and intensive conversation with Iizuka-san and Iwasaki-san. So not so many visits.
Drove to Yahiko Onsen (hot spa) to relax.

Day three (16th) Yahiko Shrine (got purified at the shrine by the priest) , drove back to Tokyo.

Data of the trip: about 670km, fee for highway to Sanjyo on weekday 5,300Yen, back to Tokyo on Saturday 1400Yen, gasoline about 55liter (my car is not an ECO car)

I will inspect the knife and send pictures before I ship to you.
So far Shigefusa and Yoshikane have made custom knives for my customers with fit and finish of a higher standard than their stock knives.
I am asking them for extra care. But still, very light scratches may occur on the on the softer iron, and this will not be considered a defect in fit and finish.
