blacksmith style/viking neck knife
KHalverson:
finished.
clay coated and etched to expose hamon.
GlisGlis:
when I saw the second picture I thought it was a beautiful knife and that your initials where a little too modern.
now that you filed and aged them it's wonderful
could you also explain to this ignorant what "clay coated and etched" means please?

the spine of the blade or what ever I don't want to get hard gets a coat of refractory cement(clay)
etching in ferric acid or vinagar exposed this hard steel.
some very interesting patterns can be created and exposed using this technique.
GlisGlis:
ohh I see
thankyou
Stoner:
Great craftsmanship as always . John
