Hey hold on a bit....gotta put a kidney up on feebay. :D

That is a wicked blade. :thumbup:
 
Nice! you should call that one Hell's Kitchen. I bet the Devil has one in his kitchen for dismembering the dammed!
 
Awesome work!!
After seeing the hamon on my kitchen knife go from gorgeous and jagged (just like I had meticulously planned:rolleyes:) on the initial acid dip... to flat as my heartbeat after grinding, I'd love to know how you got such a beautiful effect. Thanks for sharing.:D

grind first, etch last. Makers far wiser than I have told me that after etching, you shouldn't really do anything more than clean the gunk off the blade.

I was worried about warpage if I got the blade too thin(1/8th in O1) before quench. I'll give it a try and see what happens though. I really thought I was a wizard the way that hamon came out after the cleanup:foot:
Thanks for the info.:D

Nathan search around here a bit on the forum for hamon polishing methods etc. There should be some good info to help you out. First thing is to use something other than 0-1, preferably 1095 or W2.
 
WOW!!! Matt I just checked out your site and am blown away!! Awesome is one word that comes to mind. Thanks for your input.
