jake cleland Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 (edited) here's one i'm working on that i took a couple of progress pics of for the customer today. c70 steel, with a pronounced hamon, copper, macassar and birch... as always, comments/criticisms/suggesstions welcomed... (excuse the streaks on the blade - they're the remenants of the duct tape i had on it while i threaded the tang.)

Ben Potter Posted July 8, 2009 Share Posted July 8, 2009 Very nice, I like the way the smooth grip and the blade go together. Well done. Ben Potter Bladesmith It's not that I would trade my lot Or any other man's, Nor that I will be ashamed Of my work torn hands- For I have chosen the path I tread Knowing it would be steep, And I will take the joys thereof And the consequences reap.
