T-10 tool steel blade, folded and duel differentially hardened, appleseed geometry with no secondary bevels, bronze and cord wrapped handle, lacquered wood core scabbard and an even mirror polish. The fit and finish on this piece is stunning and it performs even better. Goes through 6 tatami mats like a lightsaber and handles quickly despite it's serious blade presence. There are some cosmetic scratches on the blade from normal cutting use. Comes with Garret's transferable 10,000 year warranty.
Jin Shi Trading Co. has not been accepting any new orders for some time now and this blade is not available anywhere that I know of. Asking $350.
