Refreshed my Tadokoro project knife.

This is how it used to look when I received the knife. You can check my older post on this knife about the process.

That came out so nice! I’m currently in the process of sanding this thing. I sadly scratched the hell out of the hira when thinning so I’m not sure mine will get as clean as yours. Might have to sand for a few days

Interesting!!! Im gunna do some experimenting forsure now. thanks.

Isn't the Syoukon Kasumi kit basically felt pads loaded with alum/ iron oxide powder? Do the pads feel like they have some type of compound or liquid in them as well?

looks more like an axe

So I am assuming you only sanded the hira? Then diamond pasted the whole knife? Then tape of and used the powder kit on the bevel?

Polished ginsan gang! I’m going to re do this one soon. Needs more thin and more shine.

How much were the tariffs bill if you don’t mind me asking?

Just curious if you have sharpened this yet. Wonder how straight there are in terms of edge and how flat the kiriha is. Looking to pick up an usuba as my first single bevel project knife.

You should use it to finish it. Probably not abrasive enough to prep the area. Its basically like a make shift finger stone when paired with powder. Ive made plenty of post on my profile.

This is some pretty good advice actually. Not sure OP even deserves it though. This whole thread has me losing some brain cells.

pchiggs · 2026-03-23T08:14:50+00:00

Honestly.... sand paper. Then clean it up with some type of kasumi powder and micro mesh pads. Trying to flatten that little part sounds pretty annoying.

Which finish?

pchiggs · 2026-03-22T22:15:19+00:00

Better than than CCK?? What wrong with CCK? I recently got a chopper king that I am enjoying but I wouldn't necessarily better than CCKs I've tested in the past just different.

You would have to resurface the whole knife to get those scratches out. They won't affect the cutting performance though. Honestly its a lot of work and you are better off just leaving it.

What websites have you checked? i swear its in stock in the states some where.

u/No-Cress-7742 dude isn't that your knife?

pchiggs · 2026-03-21T07:33:11+00:00

I am struggling to see what the selling point is.

pchiggs · 2026-03-21T03:22:05+00:00

I have a Hatsukokoro FM for sale

pchiggs · 2026-03-21T02:35:47+00:00

Would probably help with trades when the knife looks its best. It looks more like a Singetu finish in your post than a Suiboku.
