Thread: Tamahagane with other kanji???

The idea of Tamahagane never came in mind in the first place, it's because I honed a layer of it, it became visible,...
The scratches, if you mean the diagonal ones, they will be cleared when finished, or do you mean other scratches?

Thank you, here are some magnifications, hope they work, the finished pics will take a few days I'm afraid...
