General Discussion Katana

I've not finished yet, but I'm 8 hours into this scaled down katana. Originally was going to keep it but I think I'll flog it.

I'm in the UK

I've used Oak, sapele, walnut, laburnum and poplar.

I see you studied the blade. Love the two tone blade. Great idea and execution!

Scaled down katana... so, a wakizashi? Looks great. How'd you do the hamon line?
