1075 Hamon

[Jason Volkert]

After seeing @Justin Presson thread on 1075. I thought I would show this 1 I just finished scrubing.
Its forged from aldo's new batch.
Anyway thanks for looking

Nice! How did you do the quench? Clay on blade or just auto hamon?

Thin clay on the blade and quenched in P50. I used my forge for the heat treat procedure.

I'm thinking of trying it, too. I have some other blades back from ht I want to finish first. But I definitely want to play around with some sick hamons. Theres a good WIP on the forums, but require some final finish stuff I don't know about.

I will try to update this thread as I go and hopefully I get some hamon action on these but I need to grind them to see if it worked. I'm off this Thursday and Friday so I plan to tackle these finish grinds.

@soundmind Well definitely post some pics when you try the hamons

@Justin Presson I can't wait to see the what you got on your blades. I'm gonna try to do another hamon but on a bigger blade like a bowie or something this weekend.
