Kyoshi Kato gets a day at the spa. Let's give this workhorse a new edge.

This particular knife is one of the unicorns we chased. It's found itself in a new home. We are very fortunate to be able to use it, restore it and put a new edge on it. Its owner lives in the same town as myself. They are proud to have it, and I am honored to be able to maintain it. The blacksmith has retired. And since I am a bit of a romantic I believe its new edge should be achieved with Japanese natural stones. Most of the stones you see are acquired through my friend Jonathan. I will put a link below. I trust him and he knows what I have and what I need. We put an edge on this knife starting with a synthetic at 500 grit then we move onto the Naturals. This knife was easy to sharpen. Great steel performs above anticipation and expectation. You can hear it in my voice! The blacksmith did all of the work, and now my job is easy. The patina was something the new owner wasn't sure about. He was unaware that it's OK to have and it helps to protect the knife overtime. At the end we take some diamond lapping film that can be found at Jende Industries. It did well. I am not an established sharpener/polisher. I am a sharpener. We took the opportunity to use the diamond lapping film to get out the scratches and give it the Kasumi finish it deserves. Again, wonderful to work with.
