Some Uchugumori + Nugui works I’ve tried recently:
Yeah I did longer stroke while sharpening on bench stoneshei hei, I might be wrong but from the finish I get the impression that you use long movements when polishing - have you ever tried short stroke’s? short movements, in zones from top to bottom (from spine to the edge).
Got any before pics and can you post your progression/process?
Unfortunately I haven’t go any prior pictures of the knifeGot any before pics and can you post your progression/process?
Unfortunately I haven’t go any prior pictures of the knife, and I followed the steps shown on this video from tosho and I added one mere finishing the knife with finger stones
It worked really well for my beginner skillsI’ve been looking everywhere for this video! Thank you.

it's a natural stone powder by Morihei. Hitohira also sells some suita powder. Also, you can get uchigumori powder on the infernetI can vouch for the micromesh pads plus 800 grit SiC powder, it made a full kasumi on a Toyama pretty easy.
Does anyone know what powder Tosho is using?
Nice polish !
Aren’t they just more close to each other?
Awesome job! The double hamon looks amazingEtching the hamon on my Ikeda white #1

It was a pleasant surprise to find that my knife has double hamon.
Anyone knows why? My Ikeda white#3 seems to have only one hamon line
What did you finish on?135mm TF from JCK (Fu-Rin-Ka-Zan). Thinned and refinished. On it's way to my good friend.
Sandpaper up to 1500p, then dropped back down to 800p. Hot vinegar for a couple minutes at a time, and then instant coffee for 6hrs. I brushed off the excess oxidation with king 800 mud on a felt cloth.What did you finish on?
