The five Jyo models all come from the Hineri series: the Hineri AW, Hineri Sword, Hineri King 85, Hineri OSK 700, and Hineri EUW. The series name Hineri (捻り) refers to a twisted or torsioned construction method used in the blade geometry. These models use V10 Cobalt steel. The Hineri AW, Sword, King 85, and OSK 700 each carry a US$375 guide price. Consult the retailer for the current EUW price.
