Assuva,

This is by far my favorite of all the blades you've shared. I assume all the fittings were done by you as well?

Did you water quench? You are an exceptional craftsman. Do you forge your blades? Or use stock removal?

Again, LOVE IT!

Thanks Brian. Yes all the fittings are made by me. I forge all my blades, but I oil quenced it. Again, thank you! :)
 
I just looked at your photobucket album. Truly fine craftsmanship. I really enjoyed seeing the process details and the beautiful finished katana. I'm doing some slow practice draws (in my mind) with it right now. Thank you for sharing your work. Mike
 
Great looking piece you have there. Amazing craftsmanship.
I cant wait to play with my 1075 I picked up, do you have any recommendations for the HT and thermal cycling after forging using this steel.
 
Very cool, got me inspired I think I'm going to attempt one sometime soon now.
 
Wonderful work. Many talk a big game but you really bring it in a big way.
