Maff Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 Hey folks, hope everyone’s doing great. I’m looking at a line running from the shinogi into the hamon and running a bit within it - hopefully these pics will come out ok. Any advice on what this might be? Thanks! Quote
George KN Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 Is it in the steel, or kind of on it? Its shape makes me think it might have been lying on a cloth or pillow (that may have had grease or something acidic on?). Quote

I oiled the blade earlier and it really popped out so to speak Quote
Robert S Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 It does look a bit like a slightly acidic liquid may have gotten on the blade at some time. Don't think it's a forging (deep) issue. 1 Quote
Rawa Posted October 8 Report Posted October 8 Especially if there is no mark of it in shinogi ji part. Quote
