true, nevertheless, in my experience the blade quality of tourist implements is normally not as good as this.
This blades are made of good steel, they are hardened , have a half diamond chisel grind, profile
Dave Atkinson finds them worthy of being in his collection and so do, apparently, SOME others.
, if tit is good for him, it is good for me too

this is a YouTube video (there is no way for me to load this video on the forum, I think)
It shows how they make these " tourist" blades. I don't see what's wrong with them. This is a curved Atayal, the Tjakit would also be equally made.
