That one's got 'issues'. Avoid

And I think Panda wants a Wa handle

Only thing TF doesn't do is the blade road polish. Everything else is pure 100% TF, hand forged and heat treated by a 75 year old artisan.

What do you mean by everything?

What do you mean by everything?

Forging the blade, heat treating, annealing, pickeling, grinding the blade road, handle installation (Yo handle), stamping the blade with the Morihei Kanji etc. In the case of the 165 Nakiri this is what Morihei receives from TF. A finished blade minus the Wa handle. Morihei customizes it with their stone polish.

TF as a company. We all know TF IV doesn't do anything in the factory anymore.

I thought the yo handle installation was outsourced to sweatshop laborers. Thanks for clearing that up.
