Thank you for prompt reply, I'll try and report on cleaning's results.
This is the first korean type bow I ever used.
Until now I shooted only Kassay and Kassay clones in the range 35# - 50# @31, measured and plotted.
This KTB is a 45# @31, not measured, only read on the package .
Of course I shoot only thumbring draw with this type of bows.
KTB handle is wider than Kassay's one , about 30%, and this makes in my opinion a lot of difference at short distance: I have to resyncronize my brain - eye - arm because at present arrows go too much at right.
Not yet tested at the range - it rains too much - only at home with a target 5 meter away
BTW the arrows are 32" carbon spined 340 
Tested also with bamboo tonkin arrows spined 75-80# and results are very like, perhaps bamboo is a bit more forgiving.
KTB' draw is very smooth until you go near 31.5" - 32" where it stacks.
Other impressions:
I confirm that comparing with my other 50# Kassay the hand recoil is non-existant.
For example I remember the first times I started shooting Kassay, after a long shooting session I had some scare realizing that I was no more able to keep flat my hand and it was necessary a couple of days to recover.
But seems not a weak bow despite its feather weight and short length; not tested at long distance but at 5 meter the noise impact on the target with 600 grain tonkin arrow is impressive and like the stronger Kassay 50#.
To be honest I'm a bit disappointed because of stacking : the KTB "wall" at 32" is impressive while Kassay can accomodate even more than a 33" .
When testing at our 3D field I'll report more

Stefano
