Japanese inspired Santoku with first hamon


HEAP of JEEP

Recommended Posts

Completed my fourth knife tonight. Its 40 layers, but the pattern is quite large and doesn't show all of the layers. I am still a newb, so don't know exactly why that happened, but it still came out kind of cool. I was trying for a Japanese inspired Santoku, but in the hand hand it feels more like a small clever. I think it is to thick to have that chef knife feel. I did manage to get a hamon on it, but it is stronger on one side than the other. All in all, I see some improvements, but then with the pattern welding, I feel like I may have taken a step backwards. Oh well...always learning....10886_926852660728292_5227961335441520471173603_926852590728299_8748863843177658 on to the next.
