Every hamon is different. Some work. Some don't work. Yours is interesting in that you created a darkened area above the hardening line at the tip of the blade. Kind of weird.

Is that your way of saying it didn't work

It looks like it worked. Skate a file??
I have never seen a hamon take an etch above the hardening line like that one. It is interesting.

Definitely hardened. To be honest I didn’t even notice that until you pointed it out. Still new to the rabbit hole of hamons.

I like it. Very nice! I'll have to try a hamon soon.

Very nice, can't wait to see this finished. How do you drill your large holes?

Thank you!
I use a step drill bit from Harbor Freight. I use a lube and drill slow. I’m trying to get this one to balance just behind the ricasso, thus all the holes.
