I'm likin those scales !!

 

Thank you guys !

 

Some nice looking knives there Fred :clap2:

 

Awesome work! I was wondering, what do you do with that O1 to get the "hamon" do you edge quench and then do a deep etch?

 

Thank you.
To metal99 : no edge quench, I always do a full quench for O1, the ''hamon'' is only an acid etch. I first do it accidentally by trying to protect the blade's edge with varnish when I was doing the patina. The blade came out with this fake hamon. After that it sort of became my ''mark'' with O1 blades.
Only my 1084 and 1095 blades are edge quench.

 

Ahh that's pretty cool actually.

 

Can I buy a small Higo from you?

 

impressive-a little bit of everything n a lot of craftsmanship!!!

 

Thank you ! To darrielc : I will send you a PM.
