Fighter with Hamon

[D.Crawford]

I had always wanted to see Nick Wheeler's work up close so when he offered up some of his rough ground
blades for sale I just had to buy one. Nick had forged and ground this blade, HT'd it for a beautiful hamon,
and done some post HT grinding. All I really had to do was spit shine it a bit and slap on a guard and handle.
In fact, I'd feel funny about putting my stamp on it so I may just keep it for eye candy.
Here are a few pics





Here it was after just a little lovin'. Nice clay work Nick.


Thanks for looking.

His blades have such amazing hamons. Ya did a real nice job of adding the accessories. Kind of wish I had jumped on one of his blades when they were up.

Thanks Quint. I'd encourage you to buy one sometime if you have the chance, it's money well spent. It will change how I grind in the future.
