Damn, I got to get myself a forge. This is awesome!

Cheers.

Little update...

After some grinding we have almost final look.


I put some fireresistant silicone to get hamon - I hope that will work with K510


Inside gas burner on 825 °C


Hardening...

Now she is around 65 HRC now!

Looking good so far. Sounds like that one is going to be fun to hone. I wonder if it being so hard would make it prone to chipping more after continued use in between touch ups.

I will temper her on 59-60 HRC.
65 HRC is way too much and too hard for hone.

Thanks for posting the vids. They are really fun to watch. Keep us posted on the progress.

Amazing result! I especially love the twisted tail.

Cheers.

Finaly finished this one so I want to show you some photos.









Also I want to share short video I made about this one.

Do what davorvfr did and I have done in the past. I built mind from cinder blocks and bricks using charcoal and a leaf blower.

Precise tempered between 59 and 60 HRC.




Afternoon final grinding

I think I see a good hamon wave there...nice
