    Default 15/16 Custom Kamisori

    Finished this one up recently. It is a 15/16 Kamisori made from CruForgeV. Grippy jimps under the handle and atop the spine give a sure grip. There is a Hamon line that came out ok on this one, though hard to see in the pics. Handle is wrapped with deer skin leather. Enjoy!

    That is sweet! Nice work. Let me know if it is looking for a good home. I promise to keep it warm and dry!

    Nice Grind. I like it. I also like the etched blade, very nice indeed. Well done.

    I love the way this thing looks. It's got a badass look with all the angles but still quite classy with the colour of the blade and leather.

    Looks awesome. I like the contrast between that leather wrap and the colour of the steel.

    Joe,
    I still love the file-work on the spine at the toe. It looks beautiful. Can you use it to separate polymers?

    Nice work. So how does it shave?

    Not quite an atom splitting edge on there, but she does mow down stubble with ease.

    Thanks - took me a bit to dial in the edge and I've found my Ozuku Asagi seems to be the best finisher for CruForgeV in the little I've done so far. It was honed in a standard 10:3 ratio. Really liking how the edge finally came out, but she did have to spend some time on the hones.
