Brute de forge

[Ian Fifelski]

I am in agreement with Joe. A medium to high grind - like a yanagi ba or usuba - will look very good with then upper bevel rough and dark. On san-mai with soft iron cladding, it is even better.

This is what I was thinking when I designed the knife it "one more design" thread. I wouldn't want a large rough surface affecting the cutting and it looks nice IMO.
