LIKE SHARE SUBSCRIBE! Fumbling the technique and bumbling the Japanese language. After reviewing the correct pronunciation of the word"hamon" and noting historical tidbits from medieval England I try to apply hamons to W2 and 1084 steel with oil and water quenches to see what can be learned. Which is mainly that I have A LOT to learn. It's a long video because, well, knives 'sploded.
These knives were not polished in the traditional "bright" hamon style. I'm just not that experienced with them and finding genuine finger stones/polishing stones for that technique has been difficult.
These knives on sale here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/292465710546 https://www.ebay.com/itm/292465712114 https://www.ebay.com/itm/302653732256
Hammond. Hey, mon. Ham own. Ammon. How do you say hamon?
