I thought i would share some photos of a sword i just finished. It's made out of c1045 round stock. i quenched it using the gunters super quench. I then did a hybrid polish from 100 to 2000 grit then used ferric chloride to bring out hamon. All the fitting are made of brass. The handle is done in full wrap over ash, the handle is a full tang. I made the saya out of poplar wood, the fittings are also made of brass. It's my second sword and only hope to improve. hope you like!

Very nice looking and a really wicked looking curve as well. Interesting choice of Ito material too.
