$90 sold
Bought for $160
165mm heel to spine
160mm edge length
124 g with handle
47mm tall
4.2mm spine thick to 1.8mm halfway to 1.5 at tip
Blue 1
Toku sei with extra hammering
Pretty tough and sharp blue 1 but the edge feel is a lot like white 2. Sharpening is kind of like both. It does refine but with light pressure, but when it does it cuts and holds onto hair. The burr is clingy however but the steel is tougher and not glassy.
Cuts like a middle weight.
Did lots of sanding and bevel evening work by stones
