It's softer and a bit punky indeed. It will drink a ton of oil and mineral will not harden - I don’t like handles that "sweat" oil. I'd use tru-oil but you might need many many small applications. Might even be best to consider sending it to knife & gun for stabilizing before handle making.

Is the upper your clay application line? If so that's your explanation. You didn't grind away surface decarb you had through the clay. And the actual hamon positioned lower than your clay.

On a completely unrelated note I got myself a new knife today. It was ok (despite the local maker calling it scrap)

So Sorry not sorry 🤗

Many do. But one can also tape on some cardboard flats on the outside of tubes also, just stopping them from rolling seems to be what they want

I believe usps is your most economical option. The couriers without having a account can be quite absurd 😅

There was a package theft in sweden on a 240 gyuto HSS1 I made. It has curly maple handle. So in case you're buying second hand, demand to see receipt.

And those 8% might account for 90% of the grinding time and skill requirement - thinning near edge 😅

You're good! When we climb back out the sp1k is what we use as one stone wonder too 😅

I use my stainless 165 broken gyuto very much thank you. That/cleaver/carbon 210 are the most used.

Raw onions are fab almost to the point I'm becoming turkish. Indian vegan food is also great. Hing is a delicious spice. I see dhaal pizza with raw onions in my future.

I'd guess FEPA. I don’t know, am not affiliated with them, but ime the loos hone finishes somewhat 1500-2000. Similar to your belgian blue in action but maybe ~half in grit.

It was kindof said already but your final edge setting/deburring should not be lower than 15 (30 incl) imo. Before/above that you should adjust to YOUR use with the tool, thinning or thickening near edge. For myself I probably do around 20 deg microbevel, but keep it really thin above. The...

He and Marius are friends and we hung out sometimes when I was living in Stockholm. Great guys!

I like to punch out the holes, stack, compress and then bake whole assembly (150c ~20 min), tighten, bake a bit more. It kindof glues itself together.

Yep

Yes this is a honyaki from 2017, so not stainless. Looks like very good shape possibly untouched? Very good price.

Buff baby.. Soft cotton and green compound. Lightly. However that finish still produces some drag imo so I prefer to buff clean or really close to.

I prefer to strip where my hardness tester is located.

Actually no on that. I used them for finishing after coarse grinding on the grinder only for a while.
