That's it, the polishing project is now complete! I installed the handle last night and now this gyuto is ready to be sharpened, I will start using it tonight.
It's more than pleasant to work with a honyaki blade and it's by far what I love doing the most now. Doing a mirror finish is really my element and to see the hamon appear and reveal its beauty is... it's simply magnificent.
It's a lot of work to get there, especially with this steel which once again showed me that patience is a virtue. But holding something in your hand that you are proud of is priceless.
