I would be all over it if it would be a half of its thickness...
Nice work!

Thanks! For this first kwaiken I wanted to make it thick and beefy, but with a hamon. I’m making some thinner ones out of A2 and 3v at the moment so keep an eye out!

I will, but I love nice hamon and would like to have my knife with it.
Even better if it's from 52100.

Beautiful work! What epoxy did you use? 105/207 or g-flex?
