Loneforge Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Lathe file ressurected! Nickel silver guard and Ironwood handle. This is the first Hamon I've tried and it came out decent. I blocked the blade with high temp furnace sealant in a tube. Wasn't sure if it would work or not! Quote
ThomasPowers Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Beautiful workmanship! Why the very large ricasso? Makes the blade look clunky when you have such a nice handle shape and good edged section shape. Quote
Loneforge Posted November 27, 2012 Author Posted November 27, 2012 That's how it came off the forge Thomas and I kinda liked it. Thanks for the compliment. Quote
Ironman50 Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 What a bliss! ___________________________________ www.sawblade.com Quote
TheoRockNazz Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 I think the simple hamon works for the blade. How big's that handle? Quote
ThomasPowers Posted November 27, 2012 Posted November 27, 2012 Got enough meat in that ricasso to do an interesting piercing or bas relief... Quote
Loneforge Posted November 28, 2012 Author Posted November 28, 2012 Not sure Theo I never measure anything! LOL Thanks for the compliments guys. I will measure if you'd like. I'm gonna guess around 5" long for thr handle. Quote
