    I have sold my yoshi suji and realised I have a busy next week in big dinners coming so I made myself a tall 280mm suji , forged from 52100 at low temp , triple quench and tempered . Since it's for me left it only at machine finish and put a simple d shaped handle on it .

    Here it's being used to peel an apple ImageUploadedByTapatalk1433769745.138508.jpg

    Ha ha, it is quite fancy that you can just make a good knife for your own use when you want. :like

    Damascus ajikiri deba in works , I have used 52100 for the edge . This one is only 120mm long , wanted to do mioroshi deba originally but couldn't stretch the billet long enough and had a minor de lamination, had to make it shorter . Hopefully It will be good exercise for proper single bevels , altough they are harder I want to do hand forged kata-ha ( ni-mai) style blades . Straightening after the heat treatment was not easy to say the least . I have hollowed out the back side , have to clean it quite a bit :) next hand sanding when I can find spare time ImageUploadedByTapatalk1436222857.959320.jpg
