It's a sen-ful world...
and this joke is your pun-ismen.
 Actually, I was wanting to ask Tai (and anyone else who uses 'em) about sens. I'm helping a fellow on some Japanese-style swords. He wants to do things traditionally for the most part, and wants to do stock removal with a sen and stones. He's read the Don Fogg website where it talks about the sen having a convex (or concave, it's one of the two) edge on it for strength. Tai, is your sen a flat grind? Do you have to sharpen it very often? Umm, (can't think) is there anything else I should know about them? :confused: I've been wanting to try one myself for a while. __________________ The Wasteland Crow Project: http://wastelandcrow.blogspot.com A blog I share with a friend where we think out loud upon occasion: http://shareourcampfire.blogspot.com/ Proud to be a Neo-Tribal Metalsmith scavenging the wreckage of civilization.

I've been toying around with one made out of an old planer blade. It's M2 steel and has right angle bevels at the edge. Cuts pretty well.
