Oil-quenched vs Water-quenched - what to look for

Recommended Posts

Thank you Chris and Francois! After reviewing the posts and photos, I believe I can better discern Oil-quenched blades from Water-quenched. In one of the posts, the question was asked about Acid-etched hamons. So, I am interested in being able to spot those, as well as artificial polished-on hamons. What are some thoughts on these types of hamons, and how can we differentiate them from water-quenched and oil-quenched? Are there 4 different types of Gunto hamons: Water-quenched, Oil-quenched, Acid-etched, and Polished?
