Don't worry everyone, Kuraki is still alive.  He has just been busy training some new recruits.

Paul knew I was in a rush and he knocked this out in less than 2 days for me. These are the only pics he sent me.  Brown leather, leather lined and black shark skin.  He charged me $240 which included shipping and I think it was worth every penny.

A bit non sequitur, but since you seem to be the authority, is that Zooey Deschanel?

Swords can be very interesting. Keep the end in sight.

Finished swords are interesting.

Draw filing not-yet-swords is as interesting as reading tax code.

Went to my son's Graduation from Drill Sergeant School at Ft Jackson and just got back home to Tennessee.  Went to my email and was sad for a second, but hey, I got time, I'm sorta young.

Waiting on a knife made by a great knife maker.  Everyone at my club wants the last one I got.  It's all good, I have an archery shoot this weekend, so my younger son and I will be very busy for the next few days.

That's looking good!  I love the look of integrals and want to try one, just not brave enough to waste that much damascus yet.

There's some things I'll do differently when forging my next one, but the press sure made this easier than I thought is was going to be.

When I started from the bar, I aligned my flat dies and clamped them in place rather than just dropping my pins in them, and then squeeze, flip, squeeze, anvil to push the spine down, reheat.  Repeat.  Then I put a flat plate on my small wheel holder and ground the fronts to match.

Biggest thing I want to improve next time is pulling that heel back closer to the bolster.  That seems like the most challenging thing to do.  I might need to make a spring swage or something just for that.
