How would one begin to make one of these? Researching is the first, but what tools to begin with without the ability to get a power hammer? Your work is always so detailed and in depth and fascinating. I usually don't see this amount of detail on other videos and they usually cut to a 90% finished piece.
Blacksmith work without a power hammer or without a helper with a heavy hammer is difficult. It is possible to fold steel by hand, but a smaller package and it is difficult. You need a fellow blacksmith to work with a big hammer. I try to make videos with detailed content. Not everything is right, probably. I'm not koshiraeshi. I am a blade maker. The production of koshirae and polishing is at the amateur level. But I try to get closer to the originals. My channel is not commercial. Its purpose is to help craftsmen and share information that is difficult to find.
Because for some styles of koshirae, it is authentic. For example, Tenshó, which I make most often. White without varnish is more for Edo period styles. If I make koshirae of this period, I use top quality samegava with large stones and do not use varnish.
Přesně tuhle bych chtěl ... Krásná práce.
It seems everybody is building, or rebuilding a tanto. I'll take it as a sign :) Thank you for sharing your craftsmanship with all of us!
Beautiful work, really appreciate your videos, sharing your craftmanship

What for you painted stingray skin in black? In white it looks so nice and rich...

Very excellent work
Please do tell: what were you 'powdering' the samegawa tsuka with?
I use volcanic ash or charcoal dust. Brown powder is another option, but I can't post that information. I promised not to say it publicly.
