Did you force the patina on your KS? Nice kit.
+1 - How come that Shigefusa is so shiny?
Stefan
i really need to get a pic of my newly re-handled Yoshikane kitaeji gyuto up there.
Also, do you use your Nogent very often? (It would appear so from the dark patina, though maybe you forced it.) I keep debating getting one, but now that I have a 240mm KS of my own (and am in talks with Jon about another 240mm), it seems like it might just end up in a drawer/on the wall. I just hear so many accolades for old (or historical in this case, if not necessary "vintage") Sabs. I also worry that I will end up with one of the not quite straight models that apparently ship from TBT from time to time... I suppose if it were too bent for me to fix myself, I could always send it to Dave to straighten out, sharpen up, and rehandle.
One more question: does that ridge at the heel get in the way when sharpening?
love the pics of shig. how did you get it so polished. less reactive with the shine?
How does your Shige stack up against the Masamoto????? That Shige looks so nice.
