I haven't posted my work on Reddit but here are some apexultra core petty santokus with raindrop suminagashi clad from my latest works.
Cutting edge is ~110mm and I used %4 nickel alloy 45NiCrMo16 for white layers and spring steel for black layers on my suminagahsi with a pure nickel in between core steel apexultra. I used whetstones to achieve 0,1mm thickness behind the edge and you can flex it with your thumb nail.
I left one without a handle so if someone is interested I can finish it with as desired. I use mokume gane as bolster which I make in my workshop with copper and brass. Left one has stabilized walnut and on the middle is stabilized chestnut.
What do you think about my petty version?
