Collin Miller 139 Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I love that bronze(?) guard, and the ivory works really well with the forge finish and the etch on that hamon. Outstanding lines, too. Link to post Share on other sites

wieland 7 Posted December 12, 2014 Author Share Posted December 12, 2014 thank you all for your posts! @kevin, this one was a clayless quench in polymer like so many others before. and like so many others before it has its different look... but I´m really happy, what came out here. @caleb, the spine shows the remaining forged surface, sandblast and brushed with a rotating steelbrush.

C Craft 206 Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 (edited) That's one of those pieces that gets a WWWhoa baby, when you first put your eyes on it! The workmanship is so flawless, that you begin to look for anything that you could call a flaw and.............well there is none! That is just one of the finest pieces of workmanship I have seen in a while! A big, two thumbs up! Edited December 12, 2014 by C Craft Link to post Share on other sites
