Kanna
A Reid Schwartz and Andrew Meers Plane blade.
In the future we will use Wrought Iron and Tamahagane to make the blades.
Metal work by Meers
Wood body by Reid
Khandjar
Blade with first fittings.
I welded the sword in Hon San-mai gitae.
Tamahagane billets.
The Tamahagane was broken up into bits and then forged in to a billet.
Tamahagane
This chunk of steel was forged earlier this year. I have enough in a sunobe for a wakizashi. It behaved much differently than mill steel and I can't decide if I will work with it in the future.
