I really couldn't say. The only reazor I can compare the similarity to would have to be a Boker for hardness eh. Most of the Asagi's (which isn't many) that I have tried have been extremely hard its not funny and the cutting strength/speed very very slow, except for the one pictured which is somewhat faster cutting.
