Guest ford hallam Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hello and welcome, Remo It's always good to have another metal basher here with us . Your own work looks very nice. I particularly like the gold wire inlay (?) on the bare wood saya. cheers, Ford ( the tsuba guy ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest ford hallam Posted June 5, 2007 Report Share Posted June 5, 2007 Hi Remo, I'm pleased the tutorials were of use to you. I am working on more and will eventually cover all the basics. My own web-site is very close to being launched. I'll post a notice at that time. I also made my first chisels from old 6 inch files. I annealled them and sewed them each into 6 chisel blanks. Hard work but good steel for the job. I'll post some diagrams of Japanese chisel shapes, angles and measurements etc. on my site. Best regards, Ford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gonzalo G Posted September 9, 2007 Report Share Posted September 9, 2007 Hi Remo, I like your work. You have a very good tradition of knifemaking in Brazil. I have met some of your colleagues in the argentinean forum Armas Blancas, and in the brazilian subforum in the Knife Network, the SBC subforum from the Sociedade Brasileira de Cuteleiros.
