Mosaic Damascus 'Fukuro Yari"
Hello everyone, this is my design for the 48 hour dagger challenge. The build will be based on the Fukuro Yari spear head.
During the Yari's service (700's through to the 1700's or nara to edo period) the weapon was mainly used as a thrusting and slashing weapon, a formidable weapon giving it's weidler an impressive range of attack - with overall length ranging from 1 metre up to 6 metres.
As with many long weapons it was adapted over time, with the spear head being removed or the handle cut down to make short sword and 'dagger' type weapons that could be utilized for close combat. In combination with jujitsu it would have equally been a devastating engagement. Examples of the 'omi yari', 'Su yari' and 'Fukuro yari' can be seen from the 16th century.
During my trip to Japan, I visited as many museums as I could, learning as much as possible from the many exhibitions featuring weaponary from as early as the 300's leading up to the mid 90s. The range of artifacts from bronze through to steel was overwhelming, I took hundreds of photos of the Katana, Wakisashi, Tanto etc.
The video is of an Omi Yari a bit longer :)
The materials used will be...
Ebony, copper and mosaic Damascus steel, the mosaic I made last week to remain in the sole authorship.
Well time is up and I almost got this guy completed, the final piece of the puzzle was in the heat treatment polish and etch of the mosaic pommel nut, so I failed to complete it in the allotted time of 48 hours, and that's fine.
In my eyes I have achieved what I wanted for this year's dagger comp, this challenge is a great way for the maker to take risks and push those boundaries in what they are capable of, I would do a lot of things differently but that's always how it is,
Big thank you to @blackdragonforge for keeping that breath of creativity and passion alive, I had fun this year and if you're ever thinking about participating in it, just do it.
Also a mention to all the makers in Aotearoa NZ and Australia for participating we definitely 'punch above our weight" in the South Pacific and it is so awesome to see.
Thanks again I hope you enjoyed the build

Thanks so much 🙏
Thankyou
Insane, very nice work

can't comment on your live bro
Thanks for subscribing! I returned the favor!
Excelente maestro!!!👍👍👍
Thanks very much 😊
I'm about to buy one exactly like yours, except it has no motor mount on it. At which RPM does the motor run, and how many kilowatts?
Hey there I'm In New Zealand the motor specs are 3.7 kw 3 phase 400v, motor running approximately 980 rpm, I believe it's a 6 pole motor, I hope this helps and if you have any other questions feel free to ask
@@StackhouseKnives Awesome, thank you so much! I have one more question as of now actually. Under the brass ring/clutch-linkage is a plate with mounting holes for something that might function as a brake pad or something. Do you know if there's supposed to be a piece of wood there or something else?
Hey yes there's a block of wood that's the brake, you could make them from wood or rubber
@@StackhouseKnives Thanks for your answers!
✅ Promo_SM
Can not wait to see the knife and hear more about the course
Thanks very much, I'll be attempting to drop a video per day to talk about the course
@@StackhouseKnives enjoy your holiday. All the editing can be done on the flight home
Definitely a good way to utilise flight time
Enjoyed your segment on straight razor making could you make a straight razor for my self out of a old file if I sent you the pattern. Thank you
Hey mate, feel free to email me your enquiry with a picture/pattern, and I'll see what I can do stackhouseknives@gmail.com
That ending tho..... Fuuuuuuuiii
Hahaha yup, the big sad
@@StackhouseKnives When I saw the Coal press come out in the second to last shot I was thinking "oh no" as it looked like some flux dripping off the billet and then ... that final shot was heartbreaking.
@@Tincad4 I'm going to make the conclusion it was trapped abrasives because I did the re weld 5 times
Noooo😢
To be continued..
beautiful!!! and the last welding looks really dificult! greatings from czech republic
Hello, and thanks, it Definitely tricky getting those last welds to take i did have 16 pieces of steel to join, maybe a little ambitious haha
😮Ouch
To be continued
remember that wavy sword from fable lost chapters? that could be a cool project
That is a cool sword, definitely an interesting build
beautiful bro. did you ever play any of the warhammer 40k games? reminds me of something a chaos marine would carry
The only thing I remember with Warhammer was helping a friend paint those figurines, some many little details 😅
it's your boffice
Thats the one
Love that!!
Thanks dude, she's a big one
is it hard to work. What temperature? im playing with some too.
You've got to work that steel hot, otherwise it can splinter if you forge things to cold
blows my mind how you get a pattern like that.
Thankyou
Why was everyone so far back? Haha
No idea, maybe no one trusted me with the hot piece of steel
8:24 Nice!
Eats steel for breakfast 😂
Omg harry potter hahah Where is the bolt thunder?!
🤣
Badass😮
Thanks
Thats a fancy one. Beautiful
Thankyou there will be many more of this shape 😊
That looks sweet. what are the stats on that knife?
It should be on the website soon enough
It should be on the website soon enough
Awesome
Thanks very much
Nice information session👍
Much appreciated
Had mine for a year now and tonight was the first time I used your method, fantastic and a lot safer more stable. I had my DC4 in a custom build wooden support block to prevent the knife slipping but now with your method it is a lot safer.
That's such a good Idea, with the block I should give that a shot
Nice one mate. They look great.
Thanks so much
Need to show it compared to a standard flat bevel for comparison😊
Great idea
you got a new sub
Thankyou so much
Thanks mate cheers Rob
Thankyou
Great video, thank you. If only the paperwork that came with the DC4 told you anywhere near this information it would have been helpful
I'm not sure if they come with the same set of instructions, I bought more but haven't received them
I will be coming to see you soon for a class.
They need to make a cc4 in 8inch. Would be great!
Definitely
how much is that?
Not for sale , sorry
Woah that looks like hard work great job
Its great fun
I was going to use a power tool on my blade, Glad I watched this first, Thanks!
I’ve not seen your entire video yet but need to ask how long have yours lasted? Heard from others on YT that they don’t last very long.
My still cuts after many years
Arent they going to get rusty for being in contact with skin?
I put gold liners on the inside of them now and also make them from stainless steel
Good job brom
Thankyou
Really cool. Good job
Thanks
I'd like to see a Green Lantern or Flash inspired ring.
Definitely could be fun
