Justin Carnecchia Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Hi, I just finished this one up yesterday. Blade is 10.5" (16" overall) W-2 clayed and quenched in water. Guard and spacer are heat blued twisted w's Damascus. Handle is mesquite burl. Overall I am pretty happy with this one, the hamon is probably my best to date, with great activity and a beautiful chatoyance. Thanks for looking, comments are welcome and appreciated. -Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel.85 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 I need one of those to cut up my hamon and cheese sandwiches. But really, very nice blade, like all your others. In the third picture the hamon looks like clouds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Carnecchia Posted March 26, 2013 Author Share Posted March 26, 2013 Thanks guys. Darren I've been working on a hamon tutorial on my site, I currently have the first half roughly written. That part pertains to the heat treat, I'll try to find some time in the next few days to get the second part on polishing finished. Thanks again, I appreciate it.

gearhartironwerks Posted March 27, 2013 Share Posted March 27, 2013 It's that wondering feather pattern that has my attention currently. I have several billets that need to be completed, but work in the shop takes precedent. My heart is there, but the bank account isn't, and she-who-writes-the-checks keeps me in line. :) John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
