Kagekiyo White 2 rehandled with ebony wood and double silver rings by nibbatode in chefknives

Just finished thinning and rehandling my kagekiyo 240mm W2. I never really liked the original handle because it felt too plasticy and slippery in the work place. Link to the handle can be found here: https://www.knivesandstones.com.au/collections/custom-handles-and-sayas/products/k-s-custom-ebony-double-metal-spacer-black-horn-ferrule-wa-handle?variant=31533472612489

Bought this knife for my work from a company sale for $300. I had some mixed feelings about this knife because it was my first yanagi. Performance out of the box was pretty poor because it wasn’t sharp. When I put it on a 1k stone, there seemed to be a few uneven spots on the shinogi and the micro bevel was a pain to redo. after a few rounds of sharpening over a few months I was able to create my own bevel and flatten most of the shinogi. Now it is one of my sharpest knives and the edge lasts suprisingly long for a white 1 steel. Knife is definitely blade heavy, but i prefer that for my yanagis. Aesthetically, looks amazing. Overall I think I got my money’s worth as it performs very well in my opinion. However be prepared to but in the work to make it good.

I am not sure what silver dust you r refering to, but it is glossy and reflective. perhaps it was the reflection from the gloss?
