    Thank you, thank you, thank you. Certainly the most impressive story of the making of a very special razor that I'll ever read.

    I second that. Whant Geezer said and evnpar said.

    Dang you Bruno, you beat me to it! I purchased a wakisashi with a crack in it just for this purpose a while back (when I got into working steel) and just haven't gotten around to it. The hardest decision for me is if I want to anneal or go the route you did.

    No matter, I love how you kept the soul of the sword intact & I THANK YOU for sharing. I am sure a lot of pre-planning went into it.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I'm in awe, maybe even a tear, what a superb way of preserving a piece of history. I guess the spirit of the original Samurai lives on. In our modern age these skills are getting rarer and rarer. Thank you
