Ok so this isnt a review,
I today Just recieved my KC26III and after looking at the blade, the hamon dips, twice, matching up on each side. It looks almost as if at some point the steel was crimped and then re-flattened out. And on one side, its like the steel takes a dip, almost like a heart monitor. Then comes straight back up. Is this a tempernig problem that needs to be returned or is this ok? ( I'm guts telling me not OK.) Would this cause catastrophic failure in the blade, death , dimemberment, cities to crumble, "all hope lost" kind of thing? Or is this not going to effect the Overall well being of the blade.
Pics of said problem.

Any ideas, suggestions, or flat out advise would be most welcome.

Peasant: Listen. Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.
Arthur: Be quiet!
Peasant: You can't expect to wield supreme power just 'cause some watery tart threw a sword at you!

Hmm, it looks like it rolls right off completely. Mind zooming out a bit so we can tell how close it is to the tsuba? It will not be a problem if you never cut in that region, especially close to the tsuba. It could be possible that you are only seeing the first wavelike activity of the hamon (my KC29III has 2; 1 thin one about 3-4 mm thick then a super fat 1 cm) Frank's 26 looks like it has multiple. It doesn't look like you etched it...but I wouldn't risk not being able to return it.

Send it back - just in case - unless you can spot it from a different angle. Aesthetically, a drop-off is just not cool.

If I can get a few opinions, I may end up sending it back.

mrstabby: Been thinking the same - but the person that set up the page might not be there anymore and old code gets messy when not maintained. Might be a "repair subscriptions, destroy function X, repair X, destroy Y" situation by now - would mean a total overhaul. Nov 18, 2024 7:29:27 GMT

choseychas: Huh. Is there no fix on our side then? Or is it that you need to contact an admin since the auto system is down? Nov 18, 2024 3:58:50 GMT

eastman: problems with the forum software are the cause, not a goal to limit the club. There is an error with the software that messes up activities that require the sending of email. Nov 18, 2024 3:57:36 GMT
