    Holy moly. I can't believe this video exists. I've been scouring the internet trying to find even just a hobbyist forging a Hitsu Nata so I can see how it's really done. Finding an authentic "vintage" video of the real process is something I could never have asked for. Thanks so much for this upload!

    This is the 1st time I've seen the process of creating laminated steel blades in a semi-production process. It's a cross between standard old time blacksmith forge welding and 'modern' steam hammer forging. By simply hammering the preform of high carbon steel into the blank and fluxing it, it's done in a flash. I was envisioning careful cutting, folding of the outer jacket and then forge welding the layers before shaping, all as individual steps. Instead the rough blank gets the preformed high carbon section driven into the spine and fluxed before closing and finally hammering to complete the weld and close the spine. Japanese processes like this usually turn out to be simpler than expected, but very clever in execution, making a seemingly complex process simple, but usually quite dependent upon craftsmanship and individual skill.
    Thanks for the look at this fading art. Very interesting.

      I think the English name is bill, the same bill as in billhook the polearm. It really surprises me how many today don't know what that blade is though it has been used for a thousand years all over Eurasia. Similarly, many don't know what a tesla is (I don't know the name in English). That type of axe was around since the stone age!

    When I was 17, I worked in a heavy production plant with machines like we see here. I can promise the reader that these men have little to no hearing left and that they almost certainly have deeply compromised lungs from all the dust. Life expectancy would be greatly reduced, and yet this is what they did to support their families and see that their children had a better life then they.

    It is a nice video. However, I think it would be better served without the music. The story would be much more interesting and better told if the sounds of the blacksmith shop was used instead of a soft music background. I found it boring and was putting me to sleep. I'm a blacksmith and love the sounds of smiths and master craftsmen at work. The man in this video looks like a master craftsman. But I don't hear the sound of him doing his work. The music destroys the magic of blacksmithing and just makes a film a little bit interesting. Without the sounds of the smith at work it's boring...

      @@rudimunk7030 If you had ever done any of this work, you would appreciate what's going on here. It's so far ahead of most viewers understanding of the process, they don't understand what they are seeing. For example, the machete is being formed of laminated steel, where a preformed blank of high carbon steel is being sandwiched between 2 layers of softer steel, the high carbon gives a easily sharpened durable edge, while the more flexible soft steel surrounding it keeps the blade from breaking. This is all being formed into a solid blank while shaping the blank to it's final form. This is typically a process that takes many heats and a lot of skilled hand work to complete successfully. Here it's all done in seconds. If you look closely at the photos of the finished blade, you can see the darker steel where the high carbon edge is seamlessly formed into the blade.
