It looks like you did an edge quench, and a darn good one, too! What kind of steel is it? I've done a few edge quenched blades, but I wanted to get the wicked hamons like Don Hanson III gets, hasn't happened yet, I have gotten some decent ones, just not the dramatic wild ones he gets. If you ever get bit by the hamon bug, be careful, their like ticks, but Hamons bite a lot harder, and instead of blood, they drain you of the same energy and time you would have normally used to make 20 knives! I'm kidding, but not really, they became an obsession for me, I've had knives I've spent 60+ hours on, hand sanded then to a razors edge, trying to get a line to POP! Some did, some didn't, when you get the HT down almost perfect, that's when you'll start seeing more successes than failures. I still clay coat just about every knife I make, even if it shouldn't or doesn't need a hamon, I like a differential HT, but on a short blade, it's almost useless. Other than aesthetics, I love it when I can see one emerging from the etch, it is such a wonderful feeling. OK I know I'm a weirdo, but hey! That's how I roll!!!
Looking good, keep it up, Rex
