last time after making a honyaki damascus I was thinking about taking it step further and add a thin stainless clad that after grinding would create those white islands. I forgot about carbon migration and because of it the hamon isn't really visible and the knife looks very Kovares like. also accidentally ground off my logo so it's stamped on the bolster.
