JPH Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 Howdy again!! Well I just finished another of the "cover swords" for book IV..here it is...didn't turn out half bad if you ask me..especially for a bald barbarian.. This one is a O-Katana in 1070 Electrite (that is 1070 with a small amount of Si..) with a 31" blade...Shinogi Zukuri geometry with two scraped in Bo-Hi the full blade length .. Koshi-sori (most curve in the first 1/4 to 1/3 of the blade up from the habaki) which is an older style of curvature... Choji Hamon that is very frosty and has nice amount of activity the entire blade length.... Dragonfly motif mounts in bronze with gold and silver leaf detailings.. Black samegawa under black and gold chevron pattern silk tsuka-ito.. I think this one came out especially nice.. Hope these pics turn out..

pnut Posted December 17, 2019 Share Posted December 17, 2019 At the risk of being repetitive, absolutely beautiful. Do you make tracings of the hamon patterns of your swords? I was looking at some hamon tracings online the other day from historical Japanese swords. Pnut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
