Product description
Spectacular mirror finished blade.
This limited edition is no longer made by Shiro Kamo.
Kamo's grinds are known to be thin but this knife in particular is crazy thin, see choil shots that can't make justice though.
Knife is in great condition, most of the light signs were already there when arrived, patina pretty much removed, sharpened once.
The aogami 2 steel is very hard, nothing less than 64 but feels more.
Handle is octagonal ebony with blonde ferrule (horn in a point is a little bit rough but nothing major).
Spine and choil rounded and mirrored polished.
Very good taper on the spine.
