Wide bevel Tanaka B1 at this price is insane!

 

[ashy2classy]

Not a Kono but it's a helluva lot cheaper...

Can’t believe this is still here… No way you can get a Kagekiyo 270mm B1 with that money anywhere else

This is a steal

How is the balance on this now that the lacquer handle has been replaced?

Balance point is around the first quarter of the kanji towards the handle. It's forward from my pinch grip.
