10v san-mai

A 165mm stainless clad 10v petty. This was part of the first 10v san mai I rolled around a year ago and I’ve been sitting on this petty since, just waiting for a day I felt like finishing it. There is a nickel layer, and while the cladding gets very close to the edge in places it doesn’t cross anywhere. I centered the edge on stones as I do with all my san-mai to ensure it. As KKF seems to be having issues uploading full images lately I attached the 5 other shots I have of this blade instead of posting them in full
