[Single Ply Hinoki] YSP

[hinokihigh]

Hi guys

Continuing our journey through 1 Ply Hinokis

This is another rare blade by YSP (the younger brother of TSP) that closed shop 40 years ago.

It is around 8.5mm thick, weighs (with rubbers) 160gm

The rubbers have stuck to the blade, need some time to scrape it off.
The handle is also partly missing. Probably will make a similar one later.
For now i leave the rubbers on.

So manage to take off the rubbers. The sponge part was hard to remove, i initially used a knife. The scars on the surface looks so sad.

but afterwards i learned to remove them using wd40 and a piece of cloth. Took some effort but they come off safely.
