Nashiji to Migaki

[zizirex]

One of my recent project knives, Teruyasu Fujiwara 150mm Nashiji Petty.
it's one of the best knives you can buy for around $100.

However, I am not a big fan of Nashiji Finish, so I have decided to turn it into a Migaki finish.
I have access to a Belt Sander that makes it much easier and turns out pretty nice.

This is my first time using a belt grinder for major work, I still have a lot to learn and I really need to improve for the future project.

The before

the after

I also going to change the handle soon, since the original handle is pretty ugly.

Looks great! Where on earth do you have that much open floorspace!

So much room for activities! Jealous.

That turned out really nice!
