In this work, the jigane is clear and well-forged with visible grain, and the hamon is bright and vivid, creating a very attractive blade.<\/p>\n

However, as shown in the photographs, there is one notable point: a large chip in the edge located approximately 1\u20132 cm above the hamachi. As it is in a position that cannot be hidden by the habaki, please take note.<\/p>\n
