Mark Green Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Jesus' quench tank is self agitating. It is a magic that has to be seen/heard/felt, to believe. Powerful looking Katana. Wonderful, as usual.

Jesus Hernandez Posted June 8, 2013 Author Share Posted June 8, 2013 Matt, agitated hot oil indeed just not as sharp as the one I did at F&B. Stuart, it's about 925 grams. Enjoy life! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sam Salvati Posted June 8, 2013 Share Posted June 8, 2013 Gorgeous, I love the overall everything 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.

Rob Toneguzzo Posted June 9, 2013 Share Posted June 9, 2013 Every time I make a blade I see the faults and realize there were things I could have done to improve on the end result and implement This next time round..I was wondering Jesus .... if a bladesmith of your skill level ever does the same as I can not possibly imagine on how work such as this could ever get any better!! I love the effect of the petals....less is definitely more here..great work. Rob "Old dogs care about you even when you make mistakes" - Tom HALL - Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon wine.
