I just wanted to express my excitement that after 2 months, my latest custom (being made by a forge that I will leave anonymous for now) has finally been quenched successfully!: I asked for a blade with specific dimensions and curvature, and it took several tries to get a non-cracked blade. In the photo you can get an impression of the (beautiful IMO) sugata, and you can kinda see the claying pattern as well. Can't wait to see it polished up and get started mounting it!

I am goin for a hamon kinda like this: And the sori should be around 1.25"...remember that sori is measured from the machi.

That is a very nicely shaped blade. I hope it is everything you are expecting it to be.

Nice blade! Are you gonna make the tsuka/saya yourself? Do you have a theme picked out yet for the koshirae? Can't wait to see the finished piece!

Wow that's an impressive sori. I'll admit I don't like deep sori, but for some reason, the way it is executed is rather appealing. Looking forward to seeing the polished blade.

If I'm seeing things right, that's a koshi-zori, no? Nice. I do like koshi on my deeper blades.
Good of the forge to update you with pictures etc., too.
