Shobu Zukuri Tamahagane with Hitatsura Hamon
This is a project were I was given the most freedom by the client that commissioned the blade. The only request was that the steel should be tamahagane. So I got to work with the tatara smelter and made enough steel for this blade. The steel was forged-welded and folded to over 1600 layers which is was I thought was needed to make the steel homogeneous. I then forged a shobu-zukuri shape blade. Layout the clay for a wild hitatsura hamon and made a simple habaki for it.

Very wild looking. Its hard for me to tell, but are portions of the spine hardened to the same level as the edge? What sort of polish and fittings will the blade get?

That is exactly what hitatsura means: when there is pockets of the blade hardened both in the edge and the spine.
