Karter Schuster 1 Posted February 24, 2013 Share Posted February 24, 2013 That ironwood is beautiful, and I love the flowing lines of the blade with the fiery hamon. Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Dark 0 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Share Posted February 26, 2013 Thanks gang. I had fun with this one. I'm still not sold on the look of a no-clay differential hardening.
