Katana Tut. Part 6- Shaping 2

So this is just a placeholder deviation for right now, I'm sorry. But the video is up on Youtube, and as soon as I find a good way of taking pictures for a deviation I'll replace this image I promise.

Shaping the Blade 2 Video: [link]

So in this vid we cover the last steps to shaping the blade. This includes cutting the bo-hi, cutting the spine, and also finishing off the tang. I kind of feel like this is my worst tut so far, so let me know if I can do anything to change it.

I also want to give due credit to *fixinman who designed and made a tutorial for the bo-hi cutter. So go check out his work, he has some amazing swords as well as other great art.
