Shamus Blargostadt Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 (edited) The edge is crooked, I have grind flaws, marks on the handle but it is wicked sharp and it will cut sushi rolls without crushing them.truck leaf spring, handle is oak and the brown part is walnut.

Charlotte Posted August 19, 2015 Share Posted August 19, 2015 hmm an interesting shape and not exactly what I expected. Japanese style edge or western standard sharpening? Congrats on your ability to forge workable kitchen blades from 5160. The handle looks like one I would like to work with. < That is high praise from a woman that spends a lot of time with a knife in her hands> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shamus Blargostadt Posted August 19, 2015 Author Share Posted August 19, 2015 Thank you Charlotte! I was trying to do a Japanese edge, bevel on one side and hollow grind on the "release" side but my grinding skills were not up to the task. I'm going to need a lot more practice on the grinder.
