    Thank you all for watching the video. Let me know what you like best? Making knives from old scrap metal or making knives from wootz steel ? Thank you for your comments, and don't forget to like the video.

      Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful craftsmanship!
      What did you put on the knife to slow down the hardening and achieve this hamon?

    Love the scabbard/ handle match. Very clean, attractive.
    A 45 degree on the pointed end might have suited me more but I'm nit picking.
    Another master build bro.

    @deanfinnigan5577 Рік тому

    Hi FZ. Appreciate the quality of your videos and for sharing the techniques. How about trying a traditional composite Katana? Have always wondered if the mild shingane (mild core steel) will forge weld with wootz as the hagane/kawagane (edge and skin steel). I asked Rick Furrer years ago and he thought it would weld no problems. I think your Wootz is amazing and perhaps if you get a chance (as I think you're the guy that can produce something to behold), have also wondered if wootz will take a good hamon, seeing as you are now experimenting with that. Love your work! Much RESPECT

I also use cut n dry polish. Having said that I'm sure you had your reasons and knew what kind of finish you were after. Very cool Tanto.
