It features a nice rugged looking kurouchi finish which goes a long way in protecting the carbon blade from rust and corrosion. The profile is ground evenly on both sides so it will be good for both left- and right-handed users. The edge is really quite good right out of the box, especially given its very economical price. Of course, White #1 will sharpen up easily so a touch up on your favorite high grit stone will result in a super sharp and agile jack of all trades cutting machine.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe walnut and pakka wood handle is a nice addition to this great little blade, and a real treat at such a great price point.
