How many times (and how long) have you tried the heating cycle?

Yeah Kai, as far as I can remember, you already have this blade form.. I've tried at least 10 times, over a period of one year.. I've done as what Alan explained.. with one hand holding the blade to feel if it's too hot.. sometimes I use a piece of cloth, so that I can heat the blade a little hotter.. normally, 3 cycles..

Hello Shahrial,

Yeah Kai, as far as I can remember, you already have this blade form..

That's comparing a noble breed with a mundane work horse... (in any case that's the beauty of handmade pieces - you can always find an excuse why you have to add something to any given collection... )

I'd also try to hold the temperature for a slightly longer time in this case (expecting the pesi to be glued with damar). BTW, any signs of rust build-up where the pesi enters the hilt if you can get a peek?

Regards,
Kai
