Just looking to keep up with the cool kids.

I probably would've done this a long time ago but it's tough to get 52100 in the thickness we use for kitchen knives and I wanted a safer option when I first started out. O1 is still great as far as I'm concerned, this is just something different, maybe better.


Oh, and I have only qty.1 - 300mm sujihiki blank on the shelf hardened ready to grind. :thumbsup: I've got a couple of petties too but that's it.

I know I'm jacking your 52100 thread here, but do you have any desire to put my name on the suji blank and we can talk about it later?

Sure, it's just sitting there anyway.

Thanks!
