Hey dear Steemians,

This one I did some time ago for my mother in law.

She really took the warning about taking care if it seriously. No one is allowed to use it but her and she keeps it hidden all the time ;)

She's super cute, I wish I had more "clients" like that.

Steel: 1095 equivalent - differential HT - hamon
Handle: Ipe, brass pins

Whats up Doc?! Any tips on the hamon? I want to give it a shot and a small kitchen knife...maybe a paring style knife or something like that. But yea...what kind of clay you use, what pattern do you apply the clay, quenching tips...all that. Would be much appreciated. Also, just finished up a couple knives myself....check them out on my page and let me know what you think! Thanks! :)

Hey man,
I was just planning to do a video on hamons this weekend. So drop by since (apparently) I'm doing requests ;)

What steel are you using?

Awesome! I'm planning on using 1095. I have a buddy thats a chef and he wants a chef's knife. Never made one before....figured I'd try and go all out....lol.

I only can repeat you are a master! Plain beautiful and useful!

Oh, I'm blushing - thank you ;)
