Christopher Ford Posted December 5, 2010 Share Posted December 5, 2010 That one right there hits the spot! Totally amazing, care to share how you did this one? including the sculpting on the handle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Nice work, but I have one beef with the post. Lack of details What kind of steel, wood, length of blade, etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam2519 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Nice work, but I have one beef with the post. Lack of details What kind of steel, wood, length of blade, etc? I second Biggundoctor.

atakach Posted December 6, 2010 Author Share Posted December 6, 2010 mrkiddi, i wouldnt go that far im sure you do terriffic work, i just take lousey photos so you cant see the flaws as well!!! ha ha as for details, well it took long enough to gather pics, let alone add descript for all. As for the carved handeled piece, it is a frame handeled construction. Frame and all hardware are wrought iron. the blade is wrought iron and W1 san mai. The scales are ebony, and were hand carved, with some rotory tool assistance, then textured by hand with a lil tool i made from some drill rod. if you have questions or want specifics on a particular piece, just lemme know, id be happy to elaborate farther. thanks again andrew Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIGGUNDOCTOR Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Mainly interested in #1,2,3,4,7,and 8. Type of steel, and handle materials. I really like those blade shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Messerist Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Superb work! Except for the green handled one(I had to complain about "one")I don't like green. Welcome aboard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chichi Posted December 7, 2010 Share Posted December 7, 2010 Great work.I especially like the hamon lines. I understand that to get a distinct hamon, it is better to use a straight carbon steel like say 1095 versus an alloy steel such as 5160 etc. Is that true?
