Bloomery iron is nice! But munetoshi white #2 is even better. Crispiest heat treatment I’ve ever used!

More than Mazaki?

it is white #2. it's the same knife with different cladding.

I actually think it’s some weird number letter salad like 135WCrV5 or something, but imo it feels harder and nicer than his white 2

Yeah you're right. It says it's similar to blue 1.

This is my new favorite term

Bump on this - $500, which should be a great price compared to the $700+ new.

 

[thebradleycrew]

$475 and bump.

Sheesh I’m starting to sweat on this one

 

[Blumbo]

This is absolutely an insane deal! If only I didn’t ready have a 210 munetoshi’s heat treat on this steel is amazing, feels harder than Toyama B2 and maxim fixed most of the issues with FF seen in munetoshi’s other work

Can you show the profile on a flat surface? I am keen to understand flat spot and where the curves are at

 

[myguidingmoonlight]

Looks less curvy than other 240 Munetoshi that I've seen. Lovely profile and great deal!

 

[thebradleycrew]

Sold. Thanks KKF!
