About the colour of Lacquered Handles. The colour of lacquered handles is duller and darker than it should be when the lacquer has been applied for only a short period of time. That's because the lacquer has a distinctive yellowish tone at first. As time passes, environmental conditions such as ultraviolet rays, temperature, and humidity change the colour of the lacquer to a brighter tone and becomes more colourful. The time it takes for the color tone become brighter depends on the environment.
Edge sharpening in two-steps called "Koba-biki". The blades are sharpened by adding a small edge by grinding the blade at two different angles, which ensures long-lasting sharpness and strength.
Blade Tip Adjustment (Slightly Flattened Tips). The tips of the blades are carefully adjusted to ensure proper alignment. Please note that the blade tips have a slightly flattened finish as a result of this adjustment.
