240 Konosuke SLD and 180 Wat W2 Ironclad
Maybe he learned his communication skills from Marko T...Heiji got back to me one time out of a few emails. It went to junk. He told me what he could do for me knife wise. I wrote him back saying that I was good with that and asked how we proceed. Never heard from him again. That was months ago. Wrote him one more time about 3 weeks later. Nothing. Gave up lol.
I’m very happy and excited to start working on it.
Clean it up mostly.By working on it, do you mean clean it up and use it or something more dramatic?

Naniwa SS 220. I like to hold it sideways and use the corners.What do you usually start your cleanup on? My preference is a SG 120 or 80 grit sandpaper. Don’t have a belt grinder, sadly.

Lovely patina alreadyOk, this is technically not new since I already posted the knife, but enough work was done to warrant a “new” knife post I think. Back from the loving hands of @preizzo who thinned it and gave it an awesome Uchi finish. I knew it would be a bit of a project knife and man did Preizzo bring that project home. Many, many thanks for the generous help!
