Notes: A beautiful specimen of rare Hakka Suita. The corner line can be felt, but does not affect performance. The small pits are stable and do not scratch. Otherwise flawless. Really fast scratch removal makes polishing the Hagane a breeze, and easy to get a nice polished Kasumi quickly. Works best with forced slurry or tomo nagura, and mild to firm pressure in very short strokes.
