Thread: Authentic medieval Japanese Tamahagane razor, 7/8 with sakura scales

Truly awesome in history, concept and finished product!!!

A 15th century sword - unbelievable...that is incredible and a completely fascinating story, thank-you!

Are you going to post some other pictures of the razor?

That's a great write up, I'm happy you were able to have a vision and come to completion on this dream. Truly awesome workmanship

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.

Very cool read. Thanks!

Quite the razor Bruno ....... ..... for the next challenge, create a copy of a W&B Egyptian - Ottoman out of a hunk of that scrap metal .......... (private joke)

Very interesting read, Thanks for sharing!

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
