Breathing some air into this old thread.
Well, I finaly got around to finishing this knife (photos in a couple of days)
A couple of commnets.
You can't get Ho wood in the USA, or so it seems. But almost everyone agrees that poplar makes a good subsitute, so that is what I used for the handle.
I clad 1084 with pure iron. I may just use mild steel in the future. Because this thing warped like mad during heat treating. I trying to fix it, I put a crack in the tang, so now my 6" sushi knife is a 4" sushi knife. But it was worth the trouble. The line between the iron and steel is very sweet.
