After working for the Blade Show heavy for a few weeks, it's nice to build something that doesn't require me to think! That's an auto-hamon on W1. No clay. Just using heat to create the differential hardening.

Karl, that's just flat out impressive . I remember when I heard the first time that someone only used heat to achieve a hamon (without clay) and I had to stretch my little brain out a bit to figure how that'd work. Great job. By the way, what wood is that?

Bill, I just this minute walked back in the house from Compton's! I didn't see you there. I was with Dave Stinson (HuntIt) and Mel Riley (Irish) down in the camp ground for two days. It would have been fun to shoot a round with you.

That knife is gonna cut up elk this year! I drew my limited quata elk tag and I am estatic to say the least. I could not believe it when Karl handed me that knive he forged it for a demo for me on Monday and handed it to me at Comptons on Friday. I did not expect it. It sure drew some attention. I let people know it was not for sale! Thanks Karl
