That's a crap load of work you did here and the results you achieved look great and I'm sure work great as well. Congrats!
Wow, great work. This is how serious thinning should be done if you are gonna take matters into your own hands. Looks new!
Sure. Right after the last stone - binsui - the knife looked like in the last photos of the left side.
My lowest grit paper was 400, so i began with that. After that was 800, 1200, and then I used slurry off red aoto, applied it with 1200 grit paper, single strokes, and then same slurry with 2000 grit paper.
Quick few strokes with felt and anonymous alu compound and its shiny-hazed.
jgraeff you could say that spine as a matter of fact is at an slight angle, but the blade side's lower part lays flat on the abrasive. Its just about the grind on a japanese knife [which is not flat along entire height of the blade] that allows you to thin where you want by controlling where you press. simplest example if you take a deba and thin down the secondary bevel. Spine is at an angle, but the business end contacts stone/plate
heirkb, yes I got the handle through Maksim, but back in June at the Gathering. Grabbed two for pettys. I think he is backordered with these now.
Thanks to all of you for kind words. Hehe so much work just to sell it
Wow, that knife should definitely sell well. It looks way better than when I got it new!
naaice !! ^_^
why Binsui, do you have Red Aoto ?
Binsui gives good results ?
whats naguras you add on Binsui ?
thank you )
Especially I also polished spine and choil:
Thanks Schanop,
Gentlecook, aoto is slower, would not remove scratches after jns 1k and would kill me with slurry.
Binsui is good enough for me.
I use botan and mejiro.
