Wasn't sure where to post this but want to put it out anyways. I'll be doing a novice hammer-in focused around the Japanese sword May 28-30. There will be lots of hands on including claying, heat treating and habaki making. I tried attaching a general information sheet , if it does not show you can also check out my news page at barrettcustomknives.com. I'll check back here periodically if there are any questions. Thanks all, Rick

I'd like to say how much I wish I wasn't across an ocean from your shop...I havnt really heard of any other smiths who have focused on a japanese sword hammer in's but if in 2007 you have another you could count me in ;).

Hope those that go have an awesome experience... :cool:
