Thanks Vonn.You are getting this hamon thing down pat OP.
Well, when I first started knife making I was going to make my own little forge. I purchased some of the stuff but never got around to building the forge. One of the items I purchased was a container of refractory cement - thanks what I have been using for the 'clay'.What are you using for “clay”? I’m interested in trying to do some Hamons, still trying to round stuff up.
