    Default Bevel Grain

    Don't attribute anything magical here just something pretty that happened whilst honing.
    Was working this Case Red Imp wedge on a Jnat & noticed something I have seen on occasion but never succeeded in photographing with my cheapo USB m'scope.
    The bevel shows a grain pattern close to end stage of polishing. I understand some carbon steels will show this alloy banding effect when etched or polished but I thought this one was particularly cool & looked a bit like wood grain so thought I'd share with my fellow honeristas.
    The last 2 pics are at the higher end of mag. which is supposed to be 200x but the lower end shows up the effect better I think. And no it's not my fingerprints

    The white gleam of swords, not the black ink of books, clears doubts and uncertainties and bleak outlooks.
