in order to prevent cracking you need to do a very thin clay wash on the blade. mix the clay with water until its super thin and then pain it allover the surface of the blade. let it dry, then do the actual thick coat of clay.

selling it might be rather diffiult since it has a fatal flaw, about all it would be useful for is cutting down into a tanto. but someone might be willing to buy it.

i dont think they even heat treat their blades, ive rolled edges on stuff that should NOT have hurt them at all.

The handle is 10.5 inches after. 6ish inches before. The habaki was already there. I didnt modify the blade i just made a longer tsuka and fit it to the tang.

This Knife designed by my grandpa was actually started at the same time as the one Adrian Jordan reviewed, from the same piece of 1075 Steel. It is Differentially hardened like Adrians but my grandpa opted for a satin polish rather than a more fine and acid etched polish to bring out the hamon. the blade is a full tang construction with Resin pannels attatched by epoxy and hidden pins. Blade Length: 3 1/3" Grip length: 3 1/2" Blade thickness: 1/8th Blade Material: 1075 High Carbon Steel Heat Treat: Clayed and Water Quenched then tempered Grip Material: Resin
