Did you inhale some helium? Great review, as usual.

Honyaki is on the left.
The tips are very close. The difference is negligible.
I polished with my stone progression. The surface was pretty even.

Hey Salty - care to expand a little on mirror polishing a blade? Since I've read and saw this thread I've got a bug to polish my Yusuke white #2 gyuto. It's mono steel. I feel like the blade has some drag, and I'd like to see if mirror polishing it will improve the cutting performance. I know it will patina again w/ use but I'm more concerned w/ the finish of the surface rather than the mirro appearance.
Is essentially what you're doing similar to thinning a blade, but you're focusing on removing all the scratches f/ the grinding on the entire surface, following the contours of the original grind? Thanks Boss! mpp

In my experience, a mirror polish makes that much worse.

Yep but exploring easier ways, including wet sand papaer.
You're saying mirror polish = more drag on food product when cutting?

i may just have to save up for a masa honyaki. can you order them without mirror polish? (probably cheaper that way) i like that the honyaki is slightly thicker.
