Love that suguha, nice hada on that sword too!
What's the bottom sword? Looks like some sort of edge quench like KC?

Yep, that suguha is 200% sexy! May I ask what blade it is?

I must say that Musashi in the OP is really positive surprise. This is among the best hamon pics I've taken myself. Unfortunately I've sold the camera as equipment and lighting make huge effect to pictures like this. This is just a cropped pic of much larger portion of the hamon on my Kanemoto tachi. There is a lot of variation in hamon and I like this "wilder" portion. Craziest hamon on a sword that I've owned has been on this Sukemune tanto: yakiba.com/Tanto_SukeMune.htm Unfortunately I don't own any good pics of it as my only camera back then was my phone but Ed has still pro-quality pics up. That was a wild hamon and it was great to enjoy it while I had it. Beautiful Kanemoto! I would love to see pics of the whole thing if you have them!

These three swords have a Hazuya finish made by (from left to right), Hanbon, RyanSwords and Ninja-Katana (I did the Hazuya finish on the last sword, it did not come this way from the factory). In trying to get all 3 swords in the same frame, the lighting was not ideal to really show the lines, but it is a reasonable representation of the differences. Attachments:

Here is a shot of a replacement RyanSword with (once again) hazuya finish. This is not the same sword shown in the middle above. Attachments:

Sorry it took me a while to post but it's the upper one in this pic. I only have a phone to take pics with now. The hamon shot was taken while I had a good quality camera. The hamon shot by starkiller looks amazing.

Do you have any pics of the mune (back of blade) on the Ryujin?
