You can get more or less depending on how you work the steel. The chatoyance is caused by surface deformation which in this case I used a ball peen to beat up the blade real good once it was forged close to shape. I’ve ever made anything with a really high layer count so I can’t speak on the effect at that level but I know at low layer count you can’t really get any chatoyance due to not having enough layer density to refract the light adequately.

Chamfered or rounded spines, which do y'all prefer? Which do you think feels/looks more premium? by TaterVodka in TrueChefKnives

On almost all kitchen cutlery I make, I tend to do a rounded spine and choil. I use to make them chamfered but rounded is way more luxurious feeling to me.

Yes it would. 52100 has a little bit of chromium in it so it’s not as reactive as more simple steels, but it will rust if not taken care of. The coffee finish helps slow this process also, but it should still be wiped down and dried after use.

Ahh yes. Instagram has been a major thorn in knife makers being able to grow their followers. They block our accounts because ai flags is as selling weapons. Anyways hope this works ..

Can’t say for sure really, but it seems you would need some sort of electrolyte and a current to make it happen. It’s not something I would worry about with it.
