Hi Guys,
New to the forum and this is my reason for seeking it out. Found this little number in the back of a whatsit shop on the Big Island a few weeks ago, all rusted up with a rotten handle for $15.
Have since stripped the handle and will put a new one on later this week, but looking for some more information on the blade if anyone can see anything that strikes a chord.
Showed it to the local Japanese knife shop but aside from it taking a lovely edge and a stab at the makers name "Kiyomoto" not much more could be gleaned from it.
Tested the rockwell and got a not too shabby 53.
Can anyone add anything more?
