This was a great choice for me because I can make one-handed cuts with it. I'm still working on my two-handed Katana cuts, which are a bit more technical to learn. The blade is VERY sharp! The T-10 is derived from a Tungsten base, "high speed" tool steel that is used in cutting tools where strength and hardness must be retained at temperatures up to 1,400 degrees F. (AISI-SAE Tool Steel Grades). This is tough stuff I can wield in one hand! Mike G., Placerville, CA.
