Shop made san-mai using wrought iron + cladding which gives the knife plenty of ridgitidy and reward when polishing. Forged geometry with smooth KU and midweight geometry with a rathe showing little to no flex. Kasumi is working finish and does have a small low on the inside of the knife (if a right hander) which the price reflects. As can be seen in the photo there are a lot of details in the cladding that can be further inhanced via stone work, or you can simple fingerstone the bevels and get back to work.
