    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 box
