jake cleland Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Looks very good. Personally, I'd like to see a bit more profile taper, which would also give a bit more distal taper, but that's just me. Everything else looks good, but some closeups of the habaki and boshi would be helpful for any further critique...

JeffFogleboch Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 (edited) Here we go....the Bisho was super hard to photograph and the muneyaki made it even harder Edited February 13, 2016 by JeffFogleboch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justin carnecchia Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Looks great, though like Jake mentioned it maybe could have used a bit more taper. Hard to tell from the picture though. For the pictures, I would recommend making a light tent, that or else take pictures outside on an overcast day. Another thing I've found helps when taking pictures of hamons, is to have something dark above the blade when taking the picture so that the blade is reflecting something black instead of something light. Hopefully that makes sense. Visit wrencoforge.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
