Thanks guys. It took me all afternoon in 95F heat. If they offer a Limited Edition with a full convex zero edge, I know it will be expensive. So maybe I saved a few bucks. I just think that swords should be bare steel. 
 Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I have tried, but I just can't find the hamon line for certain. Maybe if I polish the blade some more it will show itself.

Vic, I'm pretty sure you can see it on the second and third pic. Maybe I'm seeing things or maybe it's my 36" monitor.

Crazy, well then the machining matches the wavy outline of a hamon. ![[Linked Image from red-dragonfly-sword.com]](http://red-dragonfly-sword.com/upload/userfiles/stachi_hamon01.jpg)

Here's the second picture HD posted, you can see the machining marks. Also, all the swamp rat hamons I've seen are straight/linear, not wavy or clay applied like that picture you posted.  different types of hamons: http://www.chenessinc.com/hamon.htm
