Just received a western Iwasaki from So for a cleanup. Should be fun.
The box has a marking on it reading HV 860. This is a hardness rating based on the Vickers scale & corresponds to HRC 65. It is no myth that these are hard steel.
mparker , maybe you have a similar marking on your one's boxLast edited by onimaru55; 02-21-2018 at 11:51 PM.
