SOLD $50 kawatsu 165mm nakiri

[refcast]

$50 shipped

158g
51mm tall
4mm spine at handle to 1mm at tip
165mm edge

Shinogi thicker at tip
Blue 2 steel
Resembles zakuri steel
Grind is symmetrical, at heel it's left but cuts symmetrical
Hammer marks at tip on left side by me
Spine bends but edge is straight

Hammer marks were from trying straighten spine without affecting edge . . . Didn't want to try further

Thinned, then refinished with pumice, advice by barclid

Close to zero edge with microbevel

Edit: got the warp out by using two bending sticks, one to hold the shinogi and one to bend the spine.
