Notes
Slight measurement variations are common in Japanese kitchen knives.
Small surface finish variations in knives are a normal part of the handcrafting process.
Small voids in the wenge handles are natural characteristics of this wood species. These features are not defects but simply part of wenge's distinctive appearance.
Kurouchi finish is a natural byproduct of forging, so texture and coverage vary from blade to blade. Uneven or patchy areas are normal and not a defect.
