looking real good.
I'm gonna have to try and forge 1 someday.
you got some hamon.
now polish it with ultra fine steel wool and crest toothpaste that has baking soda
it,ll remove those grey oxides and show the hamon line.

Added leather scales, I'll clean them up, die a coffee color, and then coat with resin....maybe ;)

It chops really well, I tested it on a old 2x4 that I've been using to heat staves to straighten them. Seasoned and hard it didn't bother the edge at all. My friend was tickled to get it. He gave me as set of leaf springs from an old trailer, so I made him a knife...good trade!
