Does the hamon line come out on its own or do you have to treat it with an acid or something?>

Wow!! Very cool Tad!! Thanks:thumbup: I'll post up some pics of how she comes out:thumbup:

Stabber,

No need to ask, forge away.

eyeeatingfish,

Yes, it's a hamon line from clay quenching.

Thanks,

Tad

Good golly that's nice. Stunning handle, all the blade you'd ever want, and a mesmerizing hamon.

Thank you for showing this wonderful piece.

Thanks for all the good comments, I appreciate it.

eyeeatingfish, you can generally see the hamon somewhat w/o acid etch, but most do an etch to make it more pronounced

stabber, I can't wait to see it

I spent a couple of hours yesterday over at Chuck Ward's for a picture and a nice visit with him and his wife. They are really nice folks. Here's a link.
