    Default My first Ali's Blade : western kamisori in tortoise

    Hi guys !

    Just can't wait to show you this project, started about a year ago, involving a pair of western kamisoris (left hand and right hand), traditional hamons and genuine selected tortoise.

    I've been day-dreaming a lot about what this project would look like, and I can tell you that I'm not disappointed !!

    Here comes the left hand one !

    This pair will be stored in a vintage japanese style case in gold painted tortoise :









    I can't wait to try and shave with it !

    The right hand will be finished later. Polishing the steel the traditional way - in order to reveal the hamon - is quite an exhausting process, and Ali can't do too much of it in a too short time.

    I love the fact that the clouds on the blade are the mirror of the scales' ones
