If you look close in picture 1, you can see the crack extend down from the side of the blade down into the cho. I cant get the other photos to show this clearly but it is like this on all the knives and that is why I believe they are cracks and not surface "marks"
Do you guys see what I'm getting at? Check yours closely. It is hard to see these and may take magnification. On a side note a fine needle tip with catch on the crack.
From a structural stand point the blade would be more sound with out the cho or squared edges. Bill agreed with me and we both agreed it would ruin the historical and cultural significants of the cho and the kamis would not make the knife without it. We had a good laugh about that!
