May 12, 201313 yr Wow! My first impression was san mai. That is a very "deep" looking hamon. Great looking blade. Robert
May 12, 201313 yr Author Thanks all it's a pretty thin blade so the quench was touchy but it turned out well
May 12, 201313 yr I assume you etched to get the hamon distinction? What etching solution do you like to use?
May 13, 201313 yr Author Well Done Fine looking Knife lets see it finished . Sam the blade only is up for sale ,I rarely make a finished knife,just like to forge blades
May 14, 201313 yr Very nice, beautiful hamon. I like forging blades more as well - do you work with a handle maker(s)?
