After just recently cutting a few bamboo poles, i just checked the edge of my shinsakuto under the light, and i can see some really really small chips along the edge in the monouchi part. Surprisingly, it still cuts through paper like a razor, and feels sharp as hell when you touch it. So, is it anything i should worry about, can i keep cutting with the blade??

 

 

Kind Regards,

I agree with Henry. I`d at least stop cutting hard targets with it, and pay attention to the ha after cutting soft targets. If it keeps up "micro chiping", i`d say spare the blade and stop cutting with it all together. It could turn into bad crack(s) and you may brake your blade eventually.

 

Have a nice day gentlemen!
