Our highly sought-after R2 western line just got a huge boost, I am now getting the blade from a famous Takefu master and getting it handled by master Sadao Nishihara in Miki-city who use to work for Tanaka.
- Unique Tsuchime (hammer) finished blade
- R2 Powdered steel
- Coke bottle shaped western style handle for super comfortable grip, by Sadao Nishihara-san.
- Elegant Australian Ringed Gidgee timber
