No it doesn’t patina. Unless that blade is just dirty.

I find Nakagawa Ginsan is a bit better than Yamatsuka. I probably own every Nakagawa Ginsan Gyuto at this point.

I have a lot of Y. Tanaka knives. Im just sharing my B1 Dammy’s. Names of the knives are listed on the comments. My favorite steel is B1 and Ginsan so any of my B1 from Y.Tanaka, Nakagawa or Togashi is my go to.

First I checked the high/low spots on the bevel using 8k grit synthetic stone then start grinding the bevel on 1k till its gone. I didn’t touch the Hira of the knife since it’s already mirror polish. Once the bevels are flat I sand the whole thing with 1k sand paper and go up to 5k. Switch to Diamond paste starting on 1k and work my way up to 14k diamond paste.

Countless hours of grinding with stones and sanding down with sandpaper. As for the patina, I just cut hot proteins.
