This brand of blade is common and popular, and is considered to be made of very good togo 0 steel. But this brand's large blade with beautifully engraved blade is the first time I have seen. It is said that togo 0 steel can be as sharp as white 1 steel, but the blade is as durable as blue steel.
The blade is thinner than the large blades commonly seen today, and is finely crafted with rich details.
It is not recommended for beginners because adjusting it and making a suitable wooden body requires you to have more experience. It is recommended to use wood that is not easy to deform for the wooden body.
