Thanks Johnny and thanks Tk for the feedback, its much appreciated, especially as i'm sure you have a ton of knives to get through
Did you take it to the hones Tk?, i'd be very interested in your views of the steel in terms of the edge you could get off it.
The texture in the steel is pitting from over etching, trying to get the non-contrasty steels to show a bit more contrast.:O
I ht then grind my blades, any flaws show up during the grind and certainly on polishing. The blank was clean as a whistle. Interesting things though flaws if you think about it wrought iron has very beautiful flaws in the form of slag inclusions in hazy lines from rolling. But then bad wrought, does have a tendency to come apart on you.
