Professional Opinion
A crane handle drops your elbow and shoulder into a lower, more relaxed position, which your neck will thank you for by the end of a fully booked week. The Hime matches that handle with a slim, lightweight blade aimed at precision cutting. 5.5 or 6.0 inch, ATS-314 steel, around US$707.
