@MrFrost227 Unfortunately, the only aspect of this katana I find undesirable is the hamon, which is , I believe, counter-polished on. This is a through-hardened blade so it has no real hamon. I would have preferred that the 'faux hamon' or 'cosmetic hamon' as some call it not be added to a TH blade.
@Insanesr I like to seat the mekugi well, so after tapping it in with the brass hammer, I give it a couple of light taps with that small claw hammer to seat and center the mekugi.
@RyansProductionsINC Thanks. I really wish I could keep it, heheh. I am offering it as first prize in the United Backyard Cutters 2011 Halloween contest.
@Jeeperrandy aha yeah, I have been a member of the group on facebook for a little while now, and just recently i signed up at the forums as SoulReaper. I cant wait to see what's going on in the forums
I was wondering about the hamon... acid etched?

Great review Randy, i'm loving the sword.
Why did you use a clawhammer for the mekugi?
If you unscrew the little pin from the brasshammer you have all the tools you need.
