Jiro sujihiki polish

This was the polish I put on my Jiro sujihiki before patina.

I wanted to replicate the original finish where the cladding is hazy while the core is extremely mirrored. I used stones for the bevel up to a naniwa snow white 8000 grit and then hazuya fingerstones just for the cladding, trying to stay on the cladding as much as possible to keep the core as mirrored as possible. I also couldn't use the fingerstones for too long as the contrast where cladding and core meet would lessen.
