Just finished the second habaki for the Tanto. It took considerably less time than the first one, as I worked on the disc grinder instead of using just files. The lines came out much more consistent as well. It is still not perfect, but I guess perfection is the unachievable goal we aspire to.
Time to start working on the shirasaya
(resting scabbard for all you people not acquainted with the myriad Japanese terms).
Finished (but not yet polished) habaki
The habaki fits pretty well on the blade. Especially the lines in the back line up perfectly with the mune.
