Been a long time....
Been a long time since I've posted over here. I've been way too busy trying to get caught up with orders and other things.
I finally built my forge and was able to use it last week to normalize and clay harden a 1095 Japanese style tanto. Still got some bugs to work out but it is a lot of fun. I still want to get the Blue Ridge Tribe together again for another hammer-in. You're all welcome to come by my shop in Va and hammer some metal. |

I've got a couple pics of the tanto on the camera but I've got to finish the polish on the blade before I can scan that in.
It didn't turn out quite like I wanted. The hamon crept down too close to the edge for my liking and I figured it was because I put too thick of a clay coat on the back of the blade. That is something I have to play around with. Should have some more mokume to post up as well. |

The end of May sounds great to me!!!
That is right before the Blade Show so I will need some form of break before that happens. I'll bring my forge and some steel. |
