What did you use for the etch? I kinda want to try it to darken some scratched KU for myself.Been working on this for countless hours for the past 4 to 5 days. Not seeking perfection but this will work for me since it’s going to be my new work beater. Nakagawa B2 Mizu Honyaki. Before and After etchingView attachment 315372View attachment 315373
Boiled some white vinegar and soaked it for couple of minutes. Reacted pretty fast.What did you use for the etch? I kinda want to try it to darken some scratched KU for myself.
Someone is having some fun with their knife, I love it. Did you describe how you mirror polished at all and I missed it?
Long process but first I used Koyo polish to remove etching and patina. Then used Diamond paste then back to Koyo. Did one last pass with diamond paste then finish with Koyo polish.Someone is having some fun with their knife, I love it. Did you describe how you mirror polished at all and I missed it?
Thanks! Done vinegar etching in the past but the results were never that great, figured I hadn't prepped the knife well enough. Gonna give it a go!Long process but first I used Koyo polish to remove etching and patina. Then used Diamond paste then back to Koyo.

Oooo lawd that telegraph, can’t wait for mine to come to fruition. Lmk if you’re ever selling anyI've resolved to stop pining for those knife makers that I'm having a hard time getting when there are a lot of amazing makers who are willing to sell their knives to me. I'll just collect more of their knives.
