First Successful Hamon...

8 below for the high today so after chores figured it would be a good day for computer work... Anyway I only had a few minutes to finish this one up and brought it to the house with me. After a couple so-so blades I got one to show like I wanted. Forged the blade from 1/2" round a buddy gave me. Clay coated and quenched in Parks 50, 3 3/4" W2 blade, mortised elk horn scales and peened pins.
Thanks for looking

That's really a sweet knife, Doug.
Hamons will either thrill you, or drive you over the edge.
It's a dance - and it seems like you're on your toes, here.
Cool.

Love it Doug! Great work on the hamon. I am sure it won't be your last. The whole knife has fantastic lines and the hamon really adds to the whole package.

That's really a very cohesive, well-designed knife. I echo what Ben said.
