Is this finish required to use chemical to bring out the look?
Does Shigefusa use chemical?

No etching, just natural stone polish to bring out the contrast.

This one has been chemically etched after it was thinned

You mean originally Shig will not perform chemical etch?

Nmko · Jun 29, 2014

No, he uses a natural stone finish.

erikz · Jun 29, 2014

Yes, thats what he says. Shig polishes their blades with natural stones to get this finish.

Which one? If you are asking about the V2 tamamoku, that is also done just with stones.

Yeah, the v2
