took the polish all the way up to the KU finish.

No kidding! Looks great

Wanted to do a test run with diamond microfilm before my Togashi Honyaki gets back to me in the next few weeks.

This stuff is awesome and way faster than regular sandpaper. This is a rush job on a Wakui 240 workhorse

Could you finish finer than this? Seems pretty scratchy (sorry)

Here’s a fast job on a Heldqvist kiri from this nights stone-run.

Very cool details in the cladding. Finished on a Aizu because I really don’t care much about a great polish, I just want a sharp knife

Kasumi can only come after good prep - knocked out the coarse work on this Heiji today. 800 grit and then up to 6k synth later this week hopefully.

I wanted to tweak the edge profile in the back third as the very long flat spot felt a little harsh in use.

Ground in a 45 ish degree microbevel to get the profile much closer to where I want it, but any tips for dialling in fine adjustments to make for a silky cutting motion on the board are welcome.

I’ll need to thin the back third a bit and blend in the microbevel as this is where most material was removed, and I’m in two minds about whether to try and work out the few low spots whilst I’m at it.

Scratch pattern on the bevels are from 10 mins on a SP 1K to see what we are dealing with.
