The oval socket at the base of the blade is firmly fitted and held by a round metal wedge, on a long and solid Japanese oak handle (red or white oak depending on availability) 45.5 cm long and shaped ovoid (diameter 25 x 30 mm).

Before use, always check the presence of the wedge at the end of the handle and ensure that the blade is firmly set in the handle and does not move.
If the blade moves, hit the corner with a hammer until the blade is stationary.
Always check that no one is in the work area, particularly in the axis of the tool to avoid any accident if it were to escape you.
Let the weight of the tool work, do not use excessive force as this could damage your tool.
