This is probably not coming back up from its month long break the same as it is now:
Love my Yoake Kurouchi. I want the migaki and put a nice patina on it.I took a punt on the new Hatsukokoro Yoake line a few weeks ago, and have been really impressed despite the slightly ‘wabi sabi’ f+f.
This is after christening with a massive Côte de boeuf for a friend’s birthday.

The kurouchi versions don’t speak to me, but that patina is awesome, and I love the handle on yours too! There’s a migaki that went up on B/S/T earlier today for a great price… sorry for enabling the habitLove my Yoake Kurouchi. I want the migaki and put a nice patina on it.

This is the Pa Merion for the KMS Forum. But after a few test cuts I immediately ordered a custom from Dominik. He already got handle material I just wanted a different profile and his classic western handleI hope there's a Merion in my future. Nice blade KDSD!
Try taking the pics in indirect natural light next time, I find that helps highlight the blues and pinks a lot better in photos; north facing windows this time of year during the day are pretty reliable for it.Can't seem to capture the blue very well in pics. I can see it nice with my eyes and when I take the pics, but then it doesn't show well in the pics.

If this knife is dropped at the crime scene. I’d be in deep sh*t.Could steal your ID with this thumb patina
Rainy/cloudy days make the best patina lighting. If you stand in the sun just take a picture of the knife in your shadow too, that works nicely.Can't seem to capture the blue very well in pics. I can see it nice with my eyes and when I take the pics, but then it doesn't show well in the pics.
