Last month at the Oregon show I picked up some laminated blue and white and needless to say I will be buying a lot more of it.
I left this one at 65 HRC just to see how the edge holds up future knives I will temper down to the lower 60s
Handle is black and red palm
200mm long
Free hand so the improvements come slow but they stick
1084 carbon steel
Handle is lignum
Thought it might be cool to try a portrait honyaki, was going for a sun with sun rays
26c3 in brine, might try again in parks 50
