$75 shipped conus
SPF
224 g
2.3mm spine at heel
2.0mm spine halfway
0.8mm spine 1cm from tip
51 mm tall
273mm edge
Old stock made by Takahashi Seisakusho, an OEM of gyuto in the Tokyo area that closed in 2013. Steel feels like a hybrid between white and SKD in sharpening, edge, and use. So like a semi-stainless but mostly toward carbon. Harder feeling than ashi, masahiro and masakane. Very thin symmetrical convex. Handle gap I filled with beeswax. Hollow bolster. Old stock from a Sakai warehouse. Handle wood has figuring. Cuts as well as Ashi and similar lasers. Straightened.
