.High control, large hotspot, not speedy, rather an Off- in my opinion, long dwell time, flexible. Most of all I like the handle (mine is flared), it"s DHS style. In fact, I feel it more like a DHS blade (It"s a DHS+Nittaku made blade). Strange outer layers, they are grey and soaks the glue very fast. You need more quantity of glue to cover the entire surface and you need to move fast spreading it when you do it for the first time. Update: I"ve found that the outer layer is koto but painted and after few gluing it behaves like all blades regarding soaking the glue. It"s a great, great blade, under evaluated.
