Hi Folks,
I have a single bevel Japanese knife in my shop right now that belongs to a friend. I have offered to sharpen it and potentially rehandle it.
Can anyone recommend a source for info on Japanese knives? Yes, I know it's a Google search away but I'm hoping someone here has been there/done that!
I really don't know a thing about this particular knife other than that it came in a box of 'stuff' from an auction and that someone beat on it hard! The handle has a split and the blade is rusty. But through that rust a clear delineation of tool steel is visible!
Thanks for any and all assistance!
