Ryoba Noko Japanese Both Sided Hand Saw - 300mm ②

Smith name: Unknown (It has a blacksmith's mark, I can't identify it, but the origin mark indicates that it is from Miki.)

Steel: Tamahagane (The saw has a "玉鋼/Tamahagane" mark, but there is no proof that it was actually made by "tamahagane“. In my experience, most “Tamahagane” marks are a form of advertising.)

Cutting edge length: 295mm

Total length: 760mm 

Blade thickness: about 0.6mm

Blade width: 80~110mm

Weight: 280g

Blade sharpening and adjusting: Unknown

Manufacture Era: Before 1980s（according to collector’s memory)

Additional Information: Used, a piece of the top of the blade fell off on one side, but it did not affect the use. It comes from a retired carpenter in the Kansai region of Japan. This saw is one of the main saws he uses. The blade is covered with a thin layer of dark oxide, which can only be formed through frequent use and careful storage. 

It has not been "metate" recently and is still able to cut.
