Hamon birthday to me, hamon birthday to me......
Ha ha , well I've reached the light to medium roasted age of 39 today !
So I thought I would treat my self to working some of the super clean carbon steel from Achim.
And what better way than a fully forged little test piece number and a crack at a Hamon. No real excuses not to get one with this steel, so fingers crossed.....
Nice thick chunk of SC125, perfect for forging down...
After a descale and second forging followed by heat cycles, blade is not ground at all prior to HT, just scale removed here for clay coating...
Will be going in water as intended, no alloy what so ever in this steel, just carbon and iron.
Wish me luck :eek2:
