I forged this blade a year or so back as a 210, and snapped the end off it trying to straighten it (got a bit used to compliant san mai!) - chucked it in the 'meeeh' pile until a couple of days ago, when I could look it in the eye again!
Got it re-profiled and am feeling quite positive about it now Its flat, true, and thin now - should make a nice knife. Its hand sanded to 80 grit in these pics, with a quick 'vanity' etch to see where we are. It should pop when finished properly.
Thoughts and comments appreciated !
