I have a batch of Honesuki I'm working on and just wanted to show off the grind.

I'm pretty darn happy with it so far. now to polish it up and get a handle on it.

150mm Honesuki (I have 2 in the batch that are 170mm just for fun)

hand forged 52100 steel ht'd to 60-61 RC

UraSaki ground with a 24"R platen

4mm to 4.5mm thick at the heel with a decent taper to the point, usually down to about 3mm

their all 35 to 40mm tall at the heel


I'm doing nine because Mark had ordered 5 and single bevel knives tend to bend during HT. and I tend to break knives trying to straighten them.

so far all 9 are coming out great I only had two slight curves from HT and they straightened just fine.

Handles finished up and polished, ready to glue up the blades.
