Had a bit of a session with the cheap J-petty my friend did a rehandle on.

Let's recall...

20$ CAD (rebate) Sakai Kikumori SS 120mm petty with a plywood handle that had become loose...

Became... Wild red cherry custom... I asked for the supersized Yo he did, because it's mostly used in hand or cutting through ungodly stuff, so I wanted a sure grip away from the blade - but close enough. His tapering is excellent.

A fortnight after, I went for my usual, Victo perfected cheap-steel method to a full "Kasumi" (well this one is still rather Migaki, but it was a first go on a quite more resistant steel than Victo's) trying to incur maximum convex to a thinner edge with a relief bevel.

Victo example (150mm "Chef" Fibrox) that I spent a couple sessions in creating an easily extendable, crazy relief, and a full session fine tuning the Kasumi on top of prior sessions.

Also rounded the heel so as to avoid nicks in some operations.

Where’s the patina you ask? Uhh… it’s.. pretty unreactive with the current polish.. time stamp? Ummmmm.. I didn’t have any paper around.. I swear I use my knives! I swear!

On a more serious note. @blokey just buy it… nobody will know.. 🤫

I'd certainly go for one if I haven't got the Zakuri Sabaki already, but that said I do own bunch of gyutos doing pretty much the same thing...
