And to the left upper in red THIS PRODUCT HAS A SUPER HARD
FINISH AND A GOOD QUALITY SHARPENING STONE IS
RECOMMENDED. The graph below is titled CHEMICAL
CONTENTS AND TEMPERATURES. The main components are listed for
both the steel and the backing iron and begin from the left to the right in the
second column CARBON, SILICON, MANGANESE, PHOSPHORUS,
SULPHER, CHROME, TUNGSTUN, MOLYBDENUM and the
percentages below are first for the high carbon blade steel and below for the
backing base iron. Below that are the kiln temperatures for each and I believe
the annealing temperatures but this part would need some extra research in
the translation.

The paper Certificate with the gold boarder illustrated below reads and states
from right to left: lThrough 20 years experience and 5 years of research
we succeeded to make this kanna blade. We have strived to eliminate
any defects and improve the quality of all or 100% of the kanna
blades we make. Our tests involved more then 100 kanna blades that
were field tested by carpenters and cabinetmakers. This field study
produced no bad results. (And to the very left with their seal)

purchased the kanna and then I assume the store will send that back to the
Tachibanna company.
