Workshop Heaven is the tits, by the way. The guy who runs it is lovely, if you take a trip down there he'll gladly let you try out tools before you buy, sharpen and tune planes etc etc. I've not tried him out for raw materials but I'm sure he'd be great for them. You pay a premium for the service, but you get a lot for your money.

Angle grinder with cutoff wheel is the usual way. Or plasma cutter if you have one.

I think traditionally it's something painted over the spine during the heat treat/temper so you get differential hardening and therefore differential appearance (they do it on Man At Arms occasionally) but in most knives these days I suspect it's just costmetic.

Im That One Guy posted:You're thinking of a Hamon which is caused by painting a ceramic slurry along the spine of the blade before tempering. It's a lot more subtle of an effect. Yeah I am. Thought it was the same thing. My bad. I wouldn't want mill scale on a kitchen knife, idk about anyone else.
