Almost finished with the blade, i plan a tachi koshirae for it, will attempt a saka-choji hamon, just need to finish the yasurime, some finishing work on the blade, the habaki needs some finishing work, then the hamon, and i'll start the koshirae then.

Finished burnishing the shinogi-ji, polished the rest of the blade up a bit, shaped the habaki to a more appropriate size, and made some fittings, an iron maru-gata tsuba and a pair of copper seppa, the seppa still need to be shaped, but all three fit very tightly. I might shape the tsuba to aoi-gata.
