Great work on the magnified photos. Microscope and a good camera I assume? Roughly 20x?

Great work mate. That bevel was in nasty shape.
Thanks for sharing and explaining.

Oz,
if I am not wrong that it Kurouchi finish, it is basically the crud after the forging that has not been cleaned off the blade. This is a very popular finish on Japanese style chef knives, it is great way to prevent rust.Stefan

That is a wonderful rescue. That blade should be cherished, being made by one of the best and then restored with such care, it will have a lot of love in it!

Oz, the black is charred mud left over from the tempering--you've seen it in blade making videos, I'm sure, how the hamon is made by using clay to "insulate" parts of the blade. Iwasaki kamisori received a full clay coating before final heat treating.
If you check this post on my blog: Been and Gone, Sanjou City Post 2: Conception of a Kamisori | Eastern Smooth: The Blog
about halfway down you can see some pics of razors fresh out of heat treat. The clay remains on the whole razor, and is only removed in the grinding.
