The “jigane” part has a Damascus-like texture. Some people may think that this jigane is forged by folding multiple times. I checked with Mr. Tsuchida and found that this is not the case.

This type of jigane is relatively rare, but it is a material that is accidentally produced by the extrusion of a metal cutting machine (shearing machine) .
