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