Again new knowledge for me, excellent! Thanks! Considering the risk, and already having a sharp edge, I'll accept its flaws at the moment and cherish it as a special one :)

It became a nice threat...

Shinogi as in the curved ridge between the polished "fold-waves-area" and the rough carved spine? It seems to be a strange combination I guess?? The curved ridge, which is mostly flat though when...

Thanks!
I took more pics and it seems like the entire ura is flat, but on the omote side it's a bit weird I think, the top is curved, the edge is curved when place on a really flat hone (my lovely...

Sorry for the premature pics at the start, couldn't wait! :o
Here ar some pics how I got it, hope it helps a bit :shrug:

So, tamahagane is always folded BUT
folded isn't always tamahagane :)

No problem at all! It's the only one in my kami collection with such a geometry and I thought it wasn't wright, now I'm sure!
Maybe it is restored or maybe the possibility, given by Mike Blue, of...

Just for the record, some photo's at the "end" of the honing progression, not what I would like it to be, but it seems to be a "smiling" kami,so it wasn't easy to hone some areas, got an overall HHT...

Once more a very respectable, worthily answer, thank you very much, I'm very grateful
Deepest respect!

:bow Amazing words... Beautiful, thank you!

So, is it possible that this kami is made from previous Tamahagane swords and thus is about the same quality?
Or is there a great possibility it is...

Could it be that the Oroshigane is original from "recycled" sword material?
It would make sense to me that from such basis, they must fold steel when recycling,
or is there a reason for folding...

Nice! Didn't know that either! Great responses, thanks!

Hehe! Indeed, I get your point! Thanks, am I right to presume it is rather rare?

Very nice response, thank you!

Very very interesting indeed!

Kindest regards

PM send, thank you very much!

Thank you very much for your response! Indeed, I did try, BUT it seems to be a hard one to figure out...
Hopefully the mystery can be solved!
Have you seen such "wave-marks" on razors before?
...

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...

Will post more pics at the end of the progression

No problem!,no "dumbness" at all spotted!

I should be more patience and wait until the end, so that the scratches were gone...
The issue is about the "waves", going along, parallel with the...

Hi!

I've posted this a while ago:

During honing I discovered these features, does it look like Tamahagane to...
