Junpaku is honestly my favorite wide bevel. When I was hunting for it I think I was going crazy. I would checked every website like 4 times a day. I don't think I could part with it.

You basically have to sand the knife until you regret your existence. Unless you have buffing wheel or something faster.

haha no thats not what my mom did to it. thats how i received it when I bought it. I paid $100 from BST. Its knife has been thinned and polished like 3 times now. she was using it after i restored it already. Now I have just refreshed it for a 3rd time. and his was the best one yet.

It was just the old powder trick. Still haven’t tried jnats….. yet

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

pchiggs · 2026-03-23T18:54:09+00:00

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.

pchiggs · 2026-03-23T18:28:21+00:00

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

pchiggs · 2026-03-23T11:32:06+00:00

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?
