Polishing is hard. It’s very very hard. I’m bad at polishing, I’m way too impatient, but I really love the look of a nicely polished knife. Especially kasumi finishes.
I’ve tried kasumi finishes many times before but I was never satisfied with the results. Either there were some low spots remaining, or there were a few scratches when working on higher grit stones that ruined the fogginess of the cladding.
But damn, fingerstones are such a game changer ! This knife had a big low spot (still visible in the video btw) but the finger stones did a fantastic job at hiding the poor bevel flatting job I had done.
This kasumi finish took me under 20 minutes, using Shapton pro 320, King 1000, Naniwa super 3000 and finally some cheap uchigumori stones (I got about 8 big fingerstones for about 10€). Far from perfect, but very pleased with the result !

yes leveling up skills is way better in reality than in a game.
