Thanks!

Hello All, I tried a bunch of new stuff out with this blade. I attempted to get as close as I could to full convex geometry on the blade faces, this was also my first time using straight laminated Wolfram Special and low carbon steel, a finger stone kasumi, as well as cocobolo for the handle...

I regularly finish MagnaCut on a BBW. I've tried it on S90v, Zwear, and 10v, and while it's amazing on Zwear, it's lackluster on the 10v and S90v. Venev diamond stones are great, and I've heard good things about the Naniwa diamond stones. >3k is a bit overkill for kitchen knives. The better my...
