I recently ran into a knife that I had trouble getting the hagane to be exposed on. It seems like it was forged unevenly, and some parts of the hagane were too thin. Was very discouraging.

Hand-made forged knives have a big difference between good and bad. I think that the more handmade knives are consumed, the more blacksmiths will grow, the more competition will occur in the blacksmiths, and the higher the quality of the entire knife. Even in Japan, the demand for hand-made forging knives has been low in recent years, so I think that the number of good blacksmiths is decreasing. Even a good blacksmith has gone out of business at an old age without a successor.
