That is your only one iron KU? Only experience?
Kurouchi Kuestions

Help Support Kitchen Knife Forums:
Moritaka - Ku off but still on the iron cladding - somewhat mirror polish. It’s a full blown patina.
Mazaki - no harm done. Patina on the cladding - not showing on the actual KU but there was some and I guess on his finish much more chances to happen. 2nd prep only for this one.
Iron « patinas ». It will mostly bring out darkish brown to brownish yellow, and some blue.

Most kurouchi isn't even real iron scale, the fake stuff lasts way longer and looks more even.
Takeda = fake
Raquin = real
Either way, if you're not using the knife for a few weeks oil it, otherwise just dry it every few minutes in the kitchen while in use.

Thin ku?
Oil rainbow effect?
