A very interesting blade with Torsion damascus pattern. But i can see no hamon. In my understanding the hamon is the transition area between the hard cutting edge and the softer steel above the cutting edge. The color of a real hamon differs from white to black, depending on the angle of light.

Can you make pictures with flashlight or with a scanner please? This would show the hamon more clearly.

And can you make a picture of the whole sword please?

I added two pictures for you, one shows the hamon on my yoroi doshi tanto and the other one shows the compositions of a torsion damascus pattern, grinded down step by step.

Regards Roland
