How this pair cuts

Razor edge for slide and wet cutting, designed for a quiet, low-resistance cut.
This pair
Semi-convex
Sharp yet forgiving — the versatile all-rounder, easier to maintain than full convex.
This pair
Bevelled 段刃 dan-ba

This pair
Sword blade 剣刃 ken-ba
Ridged spine adds power through thick, dry sections and scissor-over-comb work.
