DC:
Can you clear something up for me? The hamon shows the difference in hardness, right? Will it tend to lose it's edge quicker where the hamon reaches the edge in those few spots?

correct.
i thought the same thing when i started but havent noticed a significant difference in hardness till you get a ways above the line.
its still reasonably hard till you get about 1/3 the way up the blade.
you can feel it when its sanded,

Do you put the clay on the edge or the back to fire? I don't know much about forging yet. Thanks,

spine.
the clay stopped 1/8 to 3/16 above where the actual line is.
Stoner:
Great craftsmanship as always. One of these days I gotta try my hand at this. John
