(Written June 19 2023) Here I have a blade that I’ve been sitting on for some time. I completed the grinding back around April and only just made time to do all of the hand finishing work last week. It doesn’t carry the most active hamon I’ve ever created, but it’s a looker nonetheless.
The blade is quite stiff, with very little taper in the first half of it’s length, but it also has a very fine tip, tapering quite drastically in its last 50mm or so.
Blade Details
- Blade: 273mmx40mm 26c3 64-65 hrc. 1200 grit finish, etched and polished to reveal the depth of the hamon
