My thoughts exactly. It has been enjoyable watching your knifemaking progress.

Yeah, I sometimes feel a bit silly just saying it over and over... but yeah, Mert, it's great work again.

Mert, this is beautiful!

The I love the contrast between the thin Kurochi and the bit that looks like a wide bevel (is it a wide bevel, is it stainless and what did you polish it with?) and then the edge (is it etched- I assume not a natural patina yet?). It's a very creative and really stunning pattern.

Bravo!

Thanks PHIL , it looks wide bevel but it's convex , stainless clad , it is sanded to 1500 grit and etched .

It's not always the great stuff, sometimes it's heart breaking ( or tang [emoji23])

 

[chefcomesback]

And sometimes great stuff too

 

[Nemo]

Even the broken ones are beautiful Mert.

I sometimes wonder if they could be made into some form of sculpture or artwork. A monument to all of the honyakis that didn't make it and the blood, sweat and tears that went into them. Probably a completely unrealistic romantic idea, bur even so...

 

[malexthekid]

Honyaki bottle openers?

 

[Nemo]

Honyaki bottle openers?

LOL, but still, it's not such a bad idea.

 

[jessf]

How did it break at the tang like that?
