Nice!
I know that aoko is equivalent to "blue" steel, but is it like blue I or II?

double sided In'-yan bufallo horn =)

how much spine thickness at the heel ?

[olpappy]

Steel is Blue No. 2, spine width at the heel is approx 4.6mm The ferrule is a solid piece of buffalo horn which has both black and white in the same piece, I'll try to post more pics soon.
