That looks splendid! I imagine it's hard to get the grind "just right" on a long blade like that.

Really great blade there! At a steal of a price! Congrats to whoever snags this one.

Nice work Mark. I've been wanting to make something similar and was wondering if my 14" wheel would be big enough. Now I know. Thanks. Do you have any tips, tricks, or advice for someone about to try a Urasuki for the first time?

 

[Brock Cutlery]

Thanks all for the kind comments. Darrin, I'll email you some thoughts on the urasuki. I learned a few things on this one.
