Gyuto 215mm Honyaki Kogatana Set Kiritsuke Contrast rich with an acidJoel Black has polished and etched to revel a stunning hamon and incredible alloy banding on this honyaki kogatana set. If you have ever wondered how this kind of finish is achieved, its a long process of skilfully polishing the steel on a variety of specialty whetstones, some of which are very rare and often extremely expensive. The steel is also etched in various contrast solutions like citric acid, which highlight the hamon and alloy banding. Joel
