278mm hard magnetite ku Damascus art piece Suji.
This one turned out most splendidly in my new ku Damascus material, a low layer bold twist in pure nickel and iron.
The piece was hammer fluted by eye, giving two distinct flutes and lots of texture. The piece was planished , polished etched and then treated to my full magnetite water quench ku with effects the iron parts levering the nickel shiny.
It is a no tarnish finish, very practical, hard ku and shiny pure nickel, to be maintained as a ku knife, dried after use, mineral oil before putting it away.
The core on this one is White 1, with a lovely hazy kasumi, you can see subtle hazy nickel in the bevel.
This is thin forged for one of these, and will fly though food with its thinner geometry and fine lower bevel. The fluting allows greater stiffness in a thinner geometry, Truly functional art.
