Murasame L6 Katana with Hitatsura Hamon: Repair and Review
The latest patient to show up at Mike's Sword Hospital: A $630USD custom build made by Shewan himself. It took some edge damage in bottle cutting, and he agreed to replace it, so that says a lot. The L6 (non-bainite) is a bit of a mystery, as well as how a Hitatsura "scattered" Hamon will hold up, so expect updates. And, yes, I am working on the song for "Mike's Island of Misfit Swords," but probably need to have someone else sing it, for the sake of humanity.
