Finished a Japanese kitchen chopper, forged out of suminagashi steel, scales from striped tiger maple with red copper pins,...1 knife came out good after the (yaki ire) water quench and a smaller one had a crack.
Full tang tapered with a full flat convex edge (thickest part in the middle 3,8 mm) 26 cm total, knife edge is 15cm.
Thanx for watching, cheers Igor.
