Let not the swords of good and free men be reforged into plowshares, but may they rest in a place of honor; ready, well oiled and God willing unused. For if the price of peace becomes licking the boots of tyrants, then "To Arms!" I say, and may the fortunes of war smile upon patriots

Hamons are a painting; blades are a canvas, clay is my paint, fire is my brush. the problem is.. i am still painting like Pablo Picasso.

amen. this completely blows me away, i didnt know how i would ever do an integral guard up until just now. i'm blown right the F&@#$( away

I'm inspired, and aspire, before some of you retire, to work with steel and fire and make tools that you'll admire.

Hi my friens, I realy appreciate your kind words.

This brings my always a big smile into my face, thanks.

 

Today I manged the fine forging and a little grinding, the good thing is that i dont have open welds.

To split the guard parts of is some realy stress for the damascus.

 

Here the pictures from today.

WOAH!!!! Uli, what will you do with that long guard? Would be a shame to just cut it short.

The longer part of the hilt will be bandet backwards into a nice shape.

 

Making the shoulders from the hiltpart to make a nice fitting from the handle.

 

 

You can see me at the grinder, my old friend making some wrenching to see what I do. :rolleyes:

 

I thinke stepp by stepp it looks like a knife.

Today is the day for blade grinding, working at the guard including the warm banding to shape, hardening and tempering.

I will tamper te guard and the tang with a higher temperatur, flame,to make it springy.

 

Thanks Don for pining this, its a honour for me.

Thanks Dave, this is no commision, I started with the idea and now we see what happens.

I am verry happy that I am able to bring my idea to live.
