Hi Alan,

I'm new to the forum and just noticed these knives. I love the black and blue water buffalo handles on the first knife. I also like the design on the blade caused by hamon,which I wondered what this was exactly? These are probably stupid questions, but I am real new to custom knives and knife-making. I looked this up briefly, just enough to find it was a pattern in the steel caused by differing heat treatments to the steel. Would this cause the steel to have weaknesses at the hamon lines? (Is that even stated right?) Anyway, I would buy this knife in a second if I could just sell some of the knives I have listed in the forum. If it hasn't sold when I do I will come back and buy it.

It is really nice. Thanks for the look, Roger
 
Roger, the hamon line is heat treating the steel differently, the lines are covered with clay resulting in lower rockwell hardness where the lines are, this does not make the steel weaker, it just makes it more flexibile on the spine of the blade and can add an interesting effect to the blade which is really just an added bonus of making the blade a little more spring like.
