My first japanese style kitchen knife

Blade is Hitachi White Paper Steel core with 7 layers mild steel on each side (bought from dick-gmbh), handle ebony, ferrule is a piece of bronze pipe. 
Sandpaper polishing and light etch in ferric chloride.
The blade was actually forged from the blank, hence the interesting layer pattern (otherwise they would all run parallel).
