It is then subjected to multiple rounds of forging and rolling through a hot processing technique. The defining traits of Yasugi Steel tools include exceptional strength, resistance to wear, and long-lasting sharpness, making them highly durable tools. 【Clean Cut, Heavy Duty】 With a short rounded but pointed edge, it severs flower fibers cleanly resulting in better water absorption. The length of the blade makes it ideal for detailed work, but not suitable for thick branches
