First Try At Hamone

[Randy Lucius]

This is the first try of a Hamone with Aldo’s 1075. Not completely happy with it but I think I learned some things that will make the next one better. This will also be my first time working with sheep’s horn and I plan on doing domed brass pins. That will be a first too. Might be a disaster before it’s done.

That looks really good, especially for your first. I've been using 1095, but have some 1075 I'm anxious to try next.

 

[Justin Presson]

That's a good lookin knife.

Thanks Gene. I followed your YouTube video using the windex and neverdull.

I really like that knife. Looks great and I am not a horn handle guy.

Mais bruh! That’s awesome! I love it.

Edit: “Mais bruh” is a good thing, but I don’t know how to explain it lol. It sounds like - May bruh.

Not sure if I’m a “horn handle guy” either. I did one in Damascus and buffalo horn awhile back but it was very smooth and polished. I plan to leave as much “character” in this as I can.

That Hamon came out real good. It's like the perfect hieght from the edge and I like that it comes up on the ricasso so where the edge starts is nice and strong hard steel.

I’d say yo hit that one out of the park on your first Hamon. Congrats

 

[Doug Lester]

Randy, I'd be thrilled to have a hamon come out like that one. I have also wanted to use sheep's horn for scales but I have heard of problems of them moving with exposure with moisture or drying out. Regardless, that's a knife to be proud of.
