That looks magnificent, what is the grind? Are the stripes in the steel or is the grind stepped? Is the finish just natural or has it been etched/treated?
so many questions I know
Bread and water can so easily become tea and toast

Stripes in the steel are from the layers. They show up after etching with Ferric Chloride. This particular steel has a thin center layer of hitachi white and the surrounding layers are actually a soft steel that is not hardenable - thus this must always be honed with electrical tape over the spine.markbignosekelly and edhewitt like this.
