Forge a stream along a straight edge
Clean it up with file and hand.......

Very cool, Tai.
 
Thanks!

It reminded me of the waves crashing into the sand along the ocean's shore.
 
Awesome Knife and song haha
jimmy hendrix has immortal tone


I have always admired your work because its so different and raw
looks like you have a winner
what kind of grind is it? Flat?

a hammon would look interesting to go along with it like 2 waves ripping together

Eventually i would like to make something with a interesting style edge like that but i need more practice lol,

much more haha


cant wait to see it done

It's slightly convex,... but not the type that I could get with a belt grinder! Ha Ha Ha

The darker flat surface shows the hammer finished texture.
 
I think everybody who reads this posting owes it to himself to go to Tai's website and check out his galleries and 'on the bench' sections. I have found his work to be both inspiring and soul-stirring for what now amounts to my entire adult life. Thanks, Tai.

I thought about doing a clay quench line, but decided I didn't want any artificial lines distracting from the forms and flow of it.

I ended up doing a full quench and tempering it down real good, with some extra on the tang.

I had to use some special rounded stones to hone it with. I'm sure before it's over, it'll taste a bit of my blood! Ha Ha Ha :)

yeah it looks really interesting even the grain of the grind is really pleasing to the eye
