What to know before buying

Blade wording varies between Japanese carbon steel with hard chrome plating and the general detail fields of carbon steel and chrome-plated carbon steel. Treat the 20 mm figure as the stated cutting limit, not a guarantee for every plant or cutting condition.

That is a limited positive signal rather than detailed feedback about cutting performance, comfort or durability, so buyers should base fit on the stated 20 mm capacity and tool specifications.
