Mike,

Sweet looking knife.

Clay coat on the blade? Could you tell us about your heat treating process?

Thanks,

Larry

Gorgeous Mike, nice hamon!

Yeah, that's a really nice knife! Looks well balanced, has a beautiful hamon and all fit up for the show. I love knives like this; they're what it's all about. Thanks for sharing,

I used two coats of Min-Wax wood hardner. This stuff will seal and fill the grain very well, then I will do two or three coats of Birchwood Casey Tru-Oil gun stock finish.
