I am interested in the Gesshin Uraku 165mm SKD Nakiri but I have a concern. It is my understanding that SKD 11 is a version of D2, and that D2 does not hold a fine, low-angle edge well due to very large carbides. Am I correct in thinking that this steel will not hold an edge at as low an angle as Hitachi aogami will? If so to what degree?
Is the blond horn shown below available as an option?
