Hamon polish

[G. Shahan]

Hello Friends,

I was inspired recently by Mr. Nick Wheelers tutorials on polishing a clay hardened blade and his epic WIP on Loriens chopper.

Any way, I forged this fighter from 3/4" round W-1.
The hamon didn't turn out like I had it pictured in my head but I'm pretty tickled with it any way.

Thanks Nick, I appreciate you taking the time to help us mere mortals to be better knife makers.

Greg Shahan,

Thats the thing about hamons, all you can do is influence them . They seem to have a way of coming out with a flavour all their own. I'd say this one is a keeper. Lets see the rest when its finished. Paul
