Technical question
Virtually all handmade long blades have axial twist: when you hold the blade edge up and look along it's length, it is twisted more or less at least once or, more often, twice. Why is it?
Is it a reliable sign of a handmade blade? The Japanese blades are as a rule very straight. What was done to control it? |
