Customized Blade for friend Michael

[@michaelrs8010]

It looks even better overall than I thought it would. The start & termination of the Bo-Hi turned just as I envisioned/requested and they did a good job working with that regarding the mirror polish, which is harder to do than if there were no Hi.

The blade looks really good. Hanbon Forge did a great job as always. Would you mind telling us what you requested?

[@michaelrs8010]

@@WeaponizedSushi Not at all. In fact I should have outlined it in my original comment; It's a T-10 blade with Hazuya polish and mirror finish outside of that. I requested the Bo-Hi to start with a rounded end 8 cm from habaki notch and to terminate at the kassaki area at a 45° angle (unless you request those two things specifically their default Hi start and terminations are the bullet shaped ends). As for the type of hamon to which the Hazuya polish was applied, I sent a couple of screenshots from their shorts videos where they were showing a sword that had a Hazuya polish on it. Then on October the 11th on their FB page they posted a picture of one that had a cool finish to the tang with a type of polish I liked even better and so I sent them that saying if it wasn't too late could they do that. I found sending pictures or simple drawings has really helped with my orders in the past.

Fantastic work on the nakago and polish on the blade! I hope to see more of this level of work from HBF.

Wish I had the money this guy has to spend on swords lol. 13 of them. Wow. Nice work once again! Beautiful blade. They just keep getting better. Eventually I'm just gonna have to buy that wakizashi I want.

Got a buddy looking for a katana with unusual specs. Wide flat blade (hira zukuri style) with a bohi. Any chance you guys could make that?

They don't monitor these comments super close. You should drop you an email to ask him. My post keeps getting deleted if I put the link here. I have no idea why, but the email is on there website under the contacts
