2 neck knives, ready for heat treatments. I have finish shaping the blade, normalizing the blank to release the internal stress, punch mark the maker’s mark,,, all done.
あ、そうそう、刻印のデザイン決まりました。結局単純化し続け、これに決定!
Oh, yes, yes, I finally decided the marking.

勝ち虫です。ただ単純に昔から好きだったということもありますが、これにした一番の理由は>
環境変化の指標ともいわれるトンボ>ブッシュクラフトっぽい
「勝ち虫」と昔から縁起の良いトンボ>縁起が良い
刀装具などに昔から使われるトンボ>和テーストが入るナイフに良い感じ
このデザインなら刻印自作可能>これ重要w
It is a Kachi-Mushi = the winner’s bug
The reason I choose this was simply I like a Dragonfly… but also there are several reasons>
Dragonfly indicates the climate, environment changes > Bushcraft like bug!
Dragonfly = Kachi Mushi was popular among SAMURAI as a lucky bug > lucky bug symbol is a good mark!
This design was popular on Katana decoration > I make Japanese taste knives, so that suite.
It is simple enough so I can DIY the stamp > This is important… lol

で、完成して刻印打ちしたのがこれ。
And this is how it looks on the blade…..
本番前に何度も練習したのに!!!こつ掴むまで練習したのに!
やっぱり本番になると腰引けるようです・・・・まあ、、それっぽく見えてるから今回だけは良しとします。だってもうやり直し効かないし・・・・涙
次に使う時まで色々試してみて、気に入らないようなタガネに切り替えようかな。。。
Doesn’t look like anything?????? DO not say it! I have practiced so many times on junk steel beforehand. And I was able to make it much better 10 out of 10….
I guess I chickened out on real go…. Well,,, it still look, perhaps, with kind eyes, maybe look like something, so I let it go THIS TIME.
I will keep practicing and play around till next time. if It seems not suitable for me, then will change it to Chisel work.

I personally think it looks good! Nice to see these knives progressing. :)
