His knives are entirely hand-forged and are of very high quality. This usuban is a pure display of forging artistry. The edge is delivered thin and absolutely razor-sharp. The flat side (ura) lies completely flat against the surface without the blade being twisted so that it wobbles (hineri). If one were to use terms like masterpiece and perfection, this is a very good opportunity to use such strong words. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe handle is made of burnt chestnut with a buffalo horn bolster.
