Hi, this is a osoraku-zukuri tanto that I have been working on for the last couple months. Around 3,600 layers of W-2 and 1075. Lots and lots of sanding on this one, getting the ridge line right took me a couple days at 180g.
Just about done (at least with the polishing), just a little more to bring out a little more contrast between the hamon and the ji. Also a little more refining of the kissaki section, it is hard to get it nice and even polishing perpendicular to the blade.
Sorry for the poor pictures, I'll get some better ones when the project is finished.
thanks for looking, feedback is always welcome. -Justin
