Got an uchigumori from Nutmeg over a month ago and just now had a few moments to play around with it. Nothing like most of the polish work here, but I’m fairly pleased for my first go-at-it. Tried it out on my used and abused Takeda nakiri and got this finish after just a few minutes. Can’t wait to get it going on my single bevel. Any tips/feedback welcome.

Very nice blades. Who made those and do you have measurements for the smaller one? I really like it!Post-Christmas touchups. These two get a lot of use...

Reviving an old post but how did you achieve this finish on a non-wide bevel knife? Did you lay it flat on a jnat or was it sandpaper/fingerstones?Started dabbling with finger stones thanks to some complimentary stones from Ben! Nowhere near your guys’ finesse, but I was pretty proud of this polish. Seems like this is the perfect thread to show it! Kasumiiiiiii

If you read the post it starts by saying fingerstones.Reviving an old post but how did you achieve this finish on a non-wide bevel knife? Did you lay it flat on a jnat or was it sandpaper/fingerstones?
Don't know how I missed that. ThanksIf you read the post it starts by saying fingerstones.
since Daniel jut posted, ill post results with the stone i got from Daniel recently: this was done with red aoto then maruo tomae.
first, the less flattering shots showing micro scratches i need to work on. im finding it difficult on this stone to get rid of these, just a lighter touch i guess? maybe more slurry. overall though, the finish is pretty clean and even.

2 different knives made by myself. First is stainless-clad 1.2442, the other is mild steel-clad 9-fold oroshigane which is also wrapped around W2 for the cutting edge. Polish revealed large clusters of cementite (bright dots) as the carbon content in the oroshigane was above 2% in places and for reasons unknown to me did not diffuse into the surrounding area.

A few years back i was going through my late grandfathers workshop - he was a handyman's handyman - and came across this beast of a cleaver. Brought it home from CA to TX to give it some much needed love. Used a handheld belt sander to remove the rough stuff. Then a progression of wet sandpaper up to 800 grit if i recall correctly. Went to about 2k grit on the bevel. Used olive wood for handle scales. My cousin and her husband lived close to grandpa and were very good to him so i gifted. They raise pigs and a few cattle for sale/food so I've sharpened their knives from time to time. Recently hooked them up with a pair of Munetoshi butchers. Changed their world.
Don't have the blade, but do have the pics and memories. He was a great man.

So much to love about this post Daniel. I must get round to posting some shots of your knife on here.
