Iron Tessen

[Hokke]

Looking for a solid iron tessen, i.e. non folding. I know they are pretty obscure and don’t pop up too often, but figured there might me some lurking out there. Only stipulation is that it needs to be in the US since I refuse to participate in this tariff nonsense. 
 

Thanks

I know Raymond Yan had a folding one for sale recently. Might be worth shooting him a message to see if he has a line on any.

Sorry to say NFS but I'm sure this is what you're looking for...

@Toryu2020 Yes, precisely.......since you decided to play such a dirty trick and dangle the unattainable carrot, will you be so kind as to at least provide me the details of your piece?
