    Default Kikuokan Tamahagane cleanup

    Got this beauty from an esteemed colleague and decided to take it apart to clean some corrosion around the pivot/tang and do what I could with the minimal pitting.
    Drilled the pin with a center drill and was able to save only 1 washer.
    Started with 400 grit and worked up to 2500.
    I could have done a better job of getting the lower grit scratches out cause I had a big jump in grits.
    Replaced the pin with stainless. Man I like working brass much better.
    Still practicing
    Can't wait to hone it up!
