I have been enjoying my new 270 Pro in Blue 2, iron clad, Gyuto by Watanabe. Very very much.
I have also been studying the finish on the cladding near the core, where jigane meets hagane. There is a hazy effect that shimmers or moves, giving a 3D effect when the blade is tilted under light source. I’ve achieved similar effects off JNATs but this is different/better than results I’ve achieved in my current polishing capacity.
I can’t figure out what gives the effect- I’m guessing it’s a JNAT finish? The hagane is mirrored while the cladding has an awesome silver haze. There’s a pic attached.
The goal is to periodically restore a finish approaching the OOTB presentation. Any advice? Is this a polish given by stones?
