Artist's Comments

Photograph is by Rick Barrett ([link]). This blade was made for a family heirloom project I worked on for about four years (details here: [link]). I was lucky enough to be able to do much of the hands-on work on the blade myself, working with Rick's guidance.

One should not be envious of someone who has prospered by unjust deeds. Nor should he disdain someone who has fallen while adhering to the path of righteousness.

I went to your blog, you really put a lot hard work into that blade.

The hamon is exquisite I love how you were able to really capture the look of fire on it.
