John Smith Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Jacob Here is my most recent Japanese blade The Specs on this blade are in the thread for you to read Jacob --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Shinogi Zukuri Thread John W Smithwww.smith-forge.orgFire and wind come from the sky, from the gods of the sky. But Crom is your god, Crom and he lives in the earth. Once, giants lived in the Earth, Conan. And in the darkness of chaos, they fooled Crom, and they took from him the enigma of steel. Crom was angered. And the Earth shook. Fire and wind struck down these giants, and they threw their bodies into the waters, but in their rage, the gods forgot the secret of steel and left it on the battlefield. We who found it are just men. Not gods. Not giants. Just men. The secret of steel has always carried with it a mystery. You must learn its riddle, Conan. You must learn its discipline. For no one - no one in this world can you trust. Not men, not women, not beasts.[Points to sword]This you can trust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint h. Posted March 22, 2009 Share Posted March 22, 2009 basically hybrid polishing is like using sandpaper instead of whetstones, correct me if i'm wrong. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" -Adam Savage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
