This is from a piece of that Hunk O'steel I bought from Ray Rybar back in 2016. Crazy activity in this one. The hamon looks amazing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grpaavola Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 Here's a couple of shots I did of this hunter I made.

Joël Mercier Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Still not fully in control of the pattern with 26c3, but I'm starting to get more activity. W2 steel is definitely easier. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Young Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 26C3 steel. not a great picture, blade was dusty and smeared with something but the transition really shows. Some of the clay came off the tip and I got this cool forked finger thing going on 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joël Mercier Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Fun auto hamon on this 26c3 chef. There's a lot more activity on the right side, odd. As I was grinding post HT, I first thought it was decarb, but no, def a Hamon. I used anti scale and ground a fair amount post HT. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joël Mercier Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 All done on the utility knife. This time I sanded to 1200 grit, dipped for 10 secs in diluted ferric and washed the oxides with a 3M 3000 grit foam pad. It works better than Mother's Mag imo.

Alan Longmire Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Ooh, nice! I'll have to remember that about the 3000 grit foam pads, thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bjorn Gylfason Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Last couple of days have reminded me why I don't really go after hamons. It takes forever to etch and polish and then I'm completely incapable of capturing the results in picture C130 steel that got clayed with some type of muffler sealant I hadn't tried before and got an interrupted quench 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Longmire Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 Love that bolster, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kreg Whitehead Posted July 1 Share Posted July 1 The last few pieces I have done came out with kind of a double hamon. The bottom one is kinda kewl. All w2 in salt water with no clay. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
