The contrast between the wrought cladding and the 52100 core is freaking awesome. Beautiful work!

I'm interested to hear your thoughts on this one.
I've been following his work for a little while and it seems nice.

This is actually a collaboration project that I’m doing with Jeff for charity. Doing a passaround first and then will either auction it off or do a raffle with the proceeds going to an animal rescue. The grind itself is in the middle to heavy-middleweight territory. Blade measures 245x54 and weights 201g without a handle. 3.5mm spine at the handle and tapers down nicely to the tip. Here’s a choil shot. Grind feels like a high wide bevel with softened shoulders.

Thanks. A lot to like there. Some very good knives coming out of Oz...
Please keep me in the loop about the charity auction/raffle.

An little before and after on this white steel Yawamura San. Spent quite a long time hand sanding and polishing up to roughly 12000 grit.

Wow!

Thx

, this one has very tight clouds.

Care to share your method? Those clouds can be a bugger to bring out...

 

[valgard]

Just bench stones polish. Very tight progyrssion to clean the scratches well and finish diluting the slurry until it's just water. The stone I used to finish there was a fine Mikawa Nagura which greatly helps as it gives amazing details but with this knife I can show the clouds to some extent on most stones.

I was playing around with a broken synthetic aoto and ended up making finger stones with it. Figured I play around with polishing before I eventually get some jnats and nicer finger stones.

That’s came out nice. And a good way to approach it
