Mr. Polishman vs Ko- bunka round 2
The dirty co-bunka and I have squared off for another round. This time I followed the advice of fellow redditor low -indication on the progression. No chance to save the kurouchi so I went for full kasumi. I was also advised to try a kasumi kit. Which I did.
First pic is starting material. Then a couple pics as I progressed on coarse stones. The rest are me trying to take a good pic to show edge contrast.
It was quite the task. Involving 220-3k stone progression. Then some 5 k sandpaper and diamond paste. Alternating my scratch pattern between stones was very helpful. A large divot by the heel was not amendable to flattening in my hands. I accepted the wabi-sabi. I appreciate all the advice and input from my prior attempt. Ty to Mr indicator for his help
I have sent some of these pictures to Hado. I hope to hear back from them soon about a job opportunity 😜. Ty for looking ☮️
