Montejano. Beautiful work and fabulous craftmanship!!! Thank you for showing how you work.

Tell me, was the blade soft when you worked on it or was it hardened later? If so, did this affect the gold in any way. I've heard that there is a technique called vacuum hardening where there is no residue left on the surface and nothing can affect the gold. Was that used here?

Thanks again, Marcus
