RainsFire Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 This one- Omura stone #150 grit Omura Water Stone should be fun.. I suppose it could be used as a shaping stone before claycoat.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Feukair Posted January 13, 2008 Author Share Posted January 13, 2008 Finally, sorry for the delay, here are some pics after going through the following stones: 500, 800, 1000, 1200, 3000, and then these pics are after 4000grit stone. The last pic is after a hot vinegar etch to make the hamon show. My next objective is to try to darken the area above the hamon to give it a light grey tint, the vinegar kind of does that but it whipes off to easily. On DFogg's web site he states he's used Simichrome polish to get a grey tint. I'm going to order some and try it. Lt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feukair Posted November 2, 2008 Author Share Posted November 2, 2008 It's been a long while since i worked on this blade, but i just realized i never posted a picture of how far i took it. Well the blades pretty much done, someday i'll probably make a saya for it... This was mostly a practice blade for me. I think this was the 2nd hamon i ever made...
