I ordered two blades from Hanbon forge in mid february 2024, to be made to custom specs. Also ordered the matching sayas. The order was a TH 1060 blade with 35mm motohaba and 82cm nagasa and a DH T10 or 1095 with choji hamon , 38mm motohaba and 85cm nagasa. Habaki for35mm motohaba/TH 1060 blade Hbf can provide, but sadly no habaki for the 38mm motohaba blade. Luckily i bought a XL habaki some years ago, which with a little file work will fit the larger one of these 2 blades. The larger blade is modeled after a japanese smiths blade and the smith is named Akamatsu Taro Kanemitsu. I think HBF did a really good job with the T10 blade. Since i am waiting for the saya to be finished, i dont have the blades yet, only the pictures. I did tell Hbf that i wanted some Kanji engraved on the tang, which they will do for me. These here they will engrave: 龍泉漢邦作于二零二四年 should be name and production year Here some pictures, Hbf sent me before the Kanji to be made.

I like the hamon on the one with the hamon, and the geometry of it. Definitely has more style than most longquan blades!
