This sashigane is a delight to hold and work with, I had not expected such a big difference with the cheaper mass-produced squares. Be aware that one side of the long leg is marked with sqrt(2) cm intervals, I presume for projected measurements along a diagonal. This can be useful, but I suspect it's mostly going to cause me some painful mistakes.

This Shinwa Hand Crafted Sashigane is well worth the extra cost. The feel and accuracy of this essential tool will show it’s value long into the future on many different projects. Another great tool from Kurashige Tools!
