  • Katana making. This time we will make a tachi blade. in the style of the Kamakura period. We are experimenting with the structure of steel. Therefore, we will use three types of traditional steel with a high carbon content. Tamahagane, Oroshigane and cast iron. After the folding process, we build the packet in the orikaeshi san mai construction. Then we forge the blade and darken it. At the end, the process of structural grinding and polishing of the window to check the steel and the hamon line.

    This right here is a real forging channel with real hammer to metal, unlike a lot of these stock removal and hydraulic press guys. I have a question, so for the edge steel do you mark that side where the harder steel is because if it were me I would probably forget which side it was. Great video as always

    you are truly great. Have you ever thought about showing one of your swords to a Japanese blacksmith? for advice or to discuss opinions.

      In Japan, they know my work. I made a sword in Japan for a museum in Osaka.

    What is the average carbon content of tamahagane?

    • @katanamaking2606
      @katanamaking2606  Před měsícem

      It can be different. About 1.1% at the beginning of the folding process is ideal. This changes (reduces) during processing. For the blade, the final C content is 0.6-0.7%. But raw tamahagane can be very different C content. It needs to be sorted. For different parts of the sword, use the corresponding content of C.

      This talk of Japanese exceptionalism is so embarrassing. I actually worked in several swordsmithing workshops in Japan. Not as a student. For example, to show someone with the title of mukansa how to produce utsuri. I'm sure I know a lot more about nihonto production in Japanese workshops than you do.
