New day, same kiri - finally did a decent job and captured the angle that shows maximum iridescence on this one

Very nice collection.
The pattern on Nr.3 reminded me of
My collection knives | WATANABE BLADE
Japanese hand forged knives with Samurai sword making technique.
3rd from the left in the series in the link.
The kanji is visible in one of the extra pictures by the description, though I do not think they are the same....?

My brain kind of went into diarrhea mode there for a little bit. Apologies for not being able to clearly state what I wanted
Do you have a close up of the Ikeuchi, the one you mentioned you got from Schilbach? The description sounds very cool but I am skeptical if the iron has sufficient detail to offer
Bet you guys ain’t seened nuthin’ like this before

Indeed, very similar. There is a similar (with a cheap handle) in Kakuri's website.Very nice collection.

Re: the Catcheside convo from earlier this summer, I will agree that Will's handle making is not as strong as his knifemaking. Interestingly, my older Catchesides (2015-2018) have what I would consider much more refined handle construction. The basic wenge wa handles were slimmer, less square...

Top shelf specimen, never sharpened this before too precious of a piece. snake shaped kiridashi forged by 三代國慶 yoshiro ikeda, probably my second favorite kiridashi of him ( the bamboo is no doubt the best kiridashi, since I've talked about it also attached some picture of the bamboo I sold already)

A question for you Mr. WW, if you don't mind...
When you use a LH Kiri are you using it with your right hand, but for something different? Or are you using in the same way, but for something on the other side, and so using your left hand?
(That q. make sense...? I use kiris a little bit for woodworking, but mostly for stone testing tbh, so I don't know a massive amount about their various practical purposes).
I use it with my left hand. I’m moderately ambidextrous with my hand tools, so instead of spinning my work piece around, I’ll just switch to my left handed kiridashi. I greatly prefer it when working on larger or more awkward pieces to turn. Small things like this box however are usually done just with my right handed kiridashi. There are other more technical uses for having two kiridashi’s, more really fine stuff but it would be comically difficult to explain here

I'm
Tossing mine in the ring. Poor lighting but you get the idea
Ugh, this Jason Morrissey kiridashi is the thing of dreams 
What a lovely collection!
And thank you for the heads up on the wrought clad Ikeuchi. Your macro pics certainly did it for me, and I actually bought two. After flattening the bevels I'll probably sell one, though I might have a hard time deciding which to keep as I think they're both going to come out lovely. (Will post some pics here later).
Playing with a new progression - so many scratches on core steel still , much to learn

Spent some more time on this one, I was finally able to figure out that my atoma 140 was gouging the crap outta the hard finishers even after using it for multiple trips to SG120. Resurfaced them with SG500 -> SG2k -> SG6k and things are way less scratchy.
I use the 140 atoma to prep all of my stones now, 100 Gritomatic, 220-5,000 shapton pro
You want to scrub the surface well to pull out any large loose particles

A completely trashed, worn-out high-quality diamond plate is a treasure for generating slurry. So glad I did not throw out my old ones before I discovered this.
I use the 140 on all my synths too, I figured it would be worn in enough after a few months of sharpening, polishing, and flattening a few rough uchis. I got the one with the handle, so maybe I'm just giving it too much ugga dugga
True dat!
I get through quite a lot of atomas. These three are all double sided (140/400) and pretty much spent, but absolutely perfect for slurrying. And if you can get the old sheets off without bending them - then you can stick two back to back and use them like that too. Got a few of those as well!
Got a nakayama maruka waiting for me at home when I get off work, can’t wait to test it out.
Big thanks for this one doc!
I like to polish this one for practice. Some lighter pressure on my soft Aiiwatani helped bring out a kasumi, and I'm happy with how it looks. I really want to try a finer polish and possibly bring out some details, but my harder stone is very eager to scratch.
