Love the hamon! Did you just heat treat with clay to achieve it?

Love the hamon! Did you heat treat with clay to achieve it? And, how did you texture the scales ? Dremel? Sorry about the duplicate above - I can't get it to delete.

I put the clay on (furnace cement) after normalizing, then heated and quenched.

Yes, I used a dremel like tool (small pneumatic die grinder). I just keep making small cuts randomly more or less in the same direction. It is one of those things that work best if you just do it and do not think about it.

Thanks for the info, Charlie. I'm going to try treating in my forge next time, so I'll see if I can get a hamon. The first razors I did were treated at Mike Blue's, and I'm guessing clay and molten salt are a no-no.

Lovely!

Did you use that Japanese clay (I forget the name) on the spine to get the line down the blade? I love that look, its fantastic! And the scales are awesome!

Great work Charlie!
