First a few things that I must make 100% clear...
I don't know doo-diddly about the core steel, or the knife in general.
One assumption alone I am guessing it is, or is similar to this model, but again that is an assumption.
I am also assuming it is a Kiyoshi Kato.
The measurements/dimensions from the model in the link above are almost identical.
The knife is has some heft too it, and the spine is 4.5mm thick over the heel.
It performed well with the very few items I used it on.
Second, this knife has either a very slight, but noticeable bend to the left.
My guess is either a bend set at quenching/HT or a mis-grind... or combination of both. I did try to capture the issue with the camera, but it didn't turn out well, at all. In hand and in use it's not noticeable. if you hold the knife in-hand and extend your arm fully and look down the spine, it is visible.
I did not notice any affect from it when using the knife; it didn't tend to steer.
If additional photo's are requested I will do my best!
