I’m no expert on metallurgy but it does look like you can see some banding or some shimmery texture from the steel. Also, I slapped a JNS handle on it which solves the handle issue it came to me with. Due to that upgrade, slight increase in price over what I paid. Again, sorry about the choil shot, new iPhone doesn’t seem to like taking good choil shots. Choil shot from prior listing is still accurate since I’ve not changed the blade at all. Comes with box and kiri box.
225x49, 203g
$225 CONUS.
