肥後守 Higo no kami Chrome Knife Steel XL 120mm Japan import

Looks quite unfinished, the rivet of the blade is too tight and make opening difficult.The blade is nice but only 87mm lenght, appears forged and very sharpen .the handle (body/frame) is made of a 1mm u shaped steel sheet, blued.This handle has 120mm lenght, not the blade .U bending is not uniform ,and has also sharp edges .Looks more like a cutting tool than a knife.The handle is too thin , could use some side plates added (bone or horn).Overall , it could be an interesting project for adding plates on the handle, not ready to be used as a knife in this condition .
