Redneck carp's-tongue Posted June 5, 2017 Share Posted June 5, 2017 I saw a Wakizashi in a book that looked so similar to this sword one could swear they were made as companions. It seems just as high-quality, though; nice job! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JPH JPH, I will never be anywhere near your skills in blademaking, but if I could offer one little pointer on photography: that one blown-out highlight is from having your flash pointed directly at the piece, so it reflects right back into your lens. If you can illuminate your blade with diffuse light from several angles (so that everything is lit and there are no hard-edged shadows), that would be a big improvement. Think work lights shining through t-shirts, dress shirts, bed sheets, translucent plastic (e.g., Tupperware containers), etc. Just make sure that anything flammable isn't getting too hot.
