His blades excell in performance and beauty compared to economical mass production models. Such secrets are known by blade connoisseurs.

Steel folded 110 times by ancient Japanese method of multiple hand tool working metal folds to increase metal strength. Modern metallurgy has discovered why that is stronger than a casting. Each fold of the metal hammered into itself created sheathing layers.
