Not exactly sure which high carbon steel is used in this knife, I suspect SK-series steel. I’ve dropped it once and chipped the heel of the blade and sharpened half of it out, which was easy enough.
Has a smaller handle compared to the Fujiwara FKM, and is better suited using a forward choke “accuser grip” due to it’s somewhat short handle.
I’m going to keep this knife for my honesuki, I’m probably rehandle it in a hidden tang style, Black Canvas Micarta block with some form of contrasting forward spacer and pommel similar to that on the Fujiwara FKM honesuki.
