Ever think about how the roughness of a forged blade compares to the grain of an old film reel? I’d love to hear your take on that.

I like the rhythm you’ve got, but a blade doesn’t just “flash” in a montage—it carries its own weight. The grain you see on the surface is the first thing a user feels, not just a memory. If you’re going to draw a line between metal and film, make sure the line is clean, the edge precise, and the hammer, not the drama, does the work.
