Is my yasaka sweden classic counterfeit or original?

Hi, theres some point that made me think if my sweden classic might be counterfeit.

Inside the red circle in the picture,the core wood, they might forgot to sanding it, its not plain , kinda curve outward.

And this is a full photos

I can't upload here, bc the pic hit the file limit size.

Let me know if my yasaka is original or counterfeit. Thankyou 🙏🏻

That's how it should look. Very rough processing, an anti-counterfeit feature of Wood House.

The quality on the cheaper blades from woodhouse in Sweden are a little like this. I have the same blade also not the best finnishing job… but no functional issues…

Seriously, and it's not intended to make any offense to Sweden, but the Yasaka's blade quality has not improved since the 80's and 90's. It was first a rebranding of Gatien's Stiga Allround Evolution, before that Yasaka was known mainly for its rubbers, the Mark V of course. And they did great with this blade.... in the 90's, but the other brands have made significant improvements since.

Yasaka do not make blades. Woodhouse Sweden is an independent enterprise and they make blades for other brands too. one being Donic and another being TTEX..

Wood house actually has higher quality than Stiga which make their own, but this blade is at the bottom end of their range so they obviously don’t spend too much on looks, then it would be more expensive…
