RainsFire Posted September 18, 2007 Share Posted September 18, 2007 Wow, beatiful blade. What is the clay mixture you used to achieve the hamon? Does it need to be purchased, or would slip formed from water and standard ceramic clay work? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Mayo Posted September 18, 2007 Author Share Posted September 18, 2007 I use plain old furnace cement the brand i use is Harvey's it's a company out of Omaha Ne. But any furnace cement should do the trick. i have no idea if ceramic clay will work i have never used it. A lot of people use a product called satanite it is in powder form and you mix with water. Thanks for the kind words folks. Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
