I like this knife..its really cool to see other country's bushcraft traditions and knives thax for posting

Extremely beautiful broken sword type blade. I'm in love with it and the handle is perfection.

The beauty of Japanese Artisanship. I am so glad I found this vid, thank you good sir. I will be ordering 1 of each style (pointed and blunt).

Also thank you for always including the link in the description, that's very nice of you.

What a great looking knife! Really unique, I don't think I'd ever see anyone with the same one if I got one :D Greetings from Finland!

What a beautiful knife! I'm a chef here in Texas and I use German & Japanese knives. But as far as my go to knife in the kitchen, nothing beats my Masamoto Virgin steel Gyuto 270mm! I love this knife! I can imagine that the same craftsmanship and pride that went into making my chefs knife, would also be found in your Japanese Bushcraft knife .... Looks like I'll have to add this knife to my Christmas wish list! ;) Thank you for sharing your videos, take care!

Great video. Knives of the Fallkniven line are now made in Japan. Seki has a great reputation. There is a local consortium that makes beautiful/functional knives ranging from Damascus gentlemen's knives to enhanced versions of US WW2 paratrooper knives to hunting knives. Many of the great designers like Al Mar and Bob Lum have had their knives made there and are stilling being made in Japan. It is no surprise that "bushcraft" knives have been made in Japan for centuries.

Very nice looking knife. The textured pattern on the handle almost reminds me of one of those older Smith and Wesson revolver grips.

I like the checkering on the handle. Classic way to texture wood.

Hiya Doc, Our toys we play with in our bushcraft playpen are similar but different too, I don't have as many knives as you have but I do have just a couple of good (what I consider good at the price I can afford) the only traditional knife that I have that's a Puukku is made by Lynn Thompson in honor of his Danish wife, it's called the SISU, but I alway's wanted a Traditional Scandinavian Style Knife, like your Traditional Japanese Knife your showing, I think traditions are important, since I'm Ukrainian my people were farmers, our country is also known as the "Bread Basket of Europe" bushcrafting or like the Scandinavians call Laplander wasn't a form of living for us, we did use the basic tool's like knives, swords, ax pitchforks to make our lives easier and we made all our survival needs, but we didn't inherent a name sort of speak to our tools, like the Katana or the Puukku etc. but the reason I found your video was I trust you. and I just bought a set of knives that I always wanted, the Leuku, Tactical reviewed a knife he got as a gift from Snake Plisskin a friend of his, anyhow it was on the Leuku, and right then and there I said this is my cue, so I started reaserch in the Leuku Kniv and I looked for a good ( since I know nothing about that kind of knife ) I found out his gift was made by Stromeng, today I pulled the trigger on my first Traditional Kniv, I got the same one Tactical reviewed in his video, and also bought two more since I like buying my knives in pairs of atleast two, this time three because I use to be atleast a 3knife carry persom, the other two kniv's are the 5 inch KS 5, and a smaller Buhkku (LIL) Stak, it is similar in style to the 94 Olympic Kniv that was given to the Olympian as a gift from the Country they participated in, like I said before that the closest knife that I had was made by Cold Steel called the Sisu but I think it's made in Japan a great country that makes great knives, mine is in the San Mai VG-1, pretty good stuff, C.S. Also makes a cheaper knife similar called the Finn Bear, but it's made in the .4116 Krupp Stainless Steel it's not a bad kitchen knife but some lik e it for the price, anyhow I always listen and learn from your video's Oh by the way my KS is a Carbon Steel the smaller kniv's made by Stromeng are in the 12c27 Sandvik Steel and I was just wondering if you had any experience with this type of steel, Thank You so much in advance, I really enjoy what you have to say on your video's. By the way some of our friends speak very highly on your generosity and the gifts you gave them, I believe it's in giving, we recieve, my B'Day is in October hint, hint, heh heh heh

I like your style of video making. very nice nice

I have to admit that knife is cool

Beautiful knife!!

If you use the Google Chrome browser you can set it to auto translate from Japanese to English if you are interested in looking at the knife. Also thank you, virtuovice, for another great video.

Beautiful!

Very beautiful knife, Wako. I would love to own one.

I am in love with traditional Japanese knifes🙌🏻

That would be very kind of you. I just recently made a big knife order so I won't be ordering them any time soon but if I do decide to order I will contact you if that's okay. Thanks a lot for offering to do that for me! I've always thought Japanese handmade knives are always very expensive similarly to European/American handmade knives, but the craftsmanship and beauty of the knives on that site compared to the price is incredible. I wish I had money right now. :(

Wow. That's an interesting knife design. Kinda similar to the Nata hatchet you also have.

It's a beauty. I love the steampunk sheath

Cool knife.

The Mora also compares well price-wise, as the Japanese knife sells for $90. That is not a bad price, but it is hard to compete with Moras in that department. I like the look of the handle. It reminds me of early revolver grips. There is probably a way to use acid to bring back the pattern that the polishing removed. This is definitely a good looking knife at least.

One of my favorite grinds for what I do in the bush, I don't dress game anymore, and the few birds I knock down, a small sharp knife will do, it doesn't take much to clean a Grouse or a Pheasant, not like the surgery you do on your deer heh heh he, your defenetly a artist at work, that's great Doc, but anyhow my favorite grind is the Saber Vex Grind, infact a Scandi Grind is very similar in geometry to a Saber Grind, the fact is both have a secondary Relief Edge, except the Saber Grind's is higher and the blade is thicker on a Full Grind the wood starts to split at the spine, on a lower relief edge the wood starts to split at that point, so there's not as much wood drag as om the full hrind, most guys say a full grind slices better, but I say that depends on how you profile the angle on that relief edge, and besides I use my tool's alot to go out and process wood for a nice hot cup of coffee on the open fire, look for some fat wood and carve or whittle as I enjoy one of my cigars, I don't inhale, and the kind I smoke I just can't afford to chain smoke, so 2-3 sticks is usually my limit a day, but yeah I can get my Saber Vex Grind pretty sharp, and if I'm doing multi functions, I multi carry it's that simple, the knife carry depends, now that I got some new knives, I have to take them through their paces and figure out what to do with them, but my go to set of cutting tool's are my two Swamp Rat's the Rodent 7 and the Rodent 4, both have choil's and saber vex grinds, infact I thinned down my Rodent 4, the choil to me is a multi function advantage it's like having two knives in one, even with my Rodent 7 I could do basic things with it just like a smaller knife, ah a good folding saw, it was you that introduced me to the Silky saw I got the BigBoy 2000 but my favorite super tough compact saw is the Wicked Tough Saw made by Wicked Tree Gear check them out on KZfaq I think you will be impressed, then I take my Hatchet which is the 2Hawk Double Bit Hatchet made by 2Hawks, it's not only very compact, it's very functional, one side (bit) is for chopping, and the other side is for splitting, great idea by Nessmuk ( George Washington Sear's he explains it in his book), great idea and it's becoming my all time favorite even over my Gransfors Bruks Small Forest Axe, unless we're going for a longer stay in cold snowy weather, then the big axe cones with us, and a multi tool mine is the Leatherman Charge TTi, but all I need is the Awl, but anyhow these are my favorite tool's to make a hot cup of coffee on the open fire, but actually those tool's can last and last on any excursion regardless of how long they are with only a few minor changes, like a larger saw, and a larger axe, anyhow before I do a long Dissertation on Bushcrafting heh heh heh, I better stop, see what you do, you make a gaby out of me, again I enjoy your reviews, Thanx Doc.

COOL KNIFE YOU NEED SOME VIDEO ON JAPAN BUSH CRAFT

ty for posting I enjoyed watching..... liked and subscribed

very cool looking knife!

This specific knife is carbon. But I have some other Moras made of 12C27 as well.

That is a really nice knife...

All of my Japanese knives including of course ones made by Takeshi Saji are deadly sharp, nice video.

Nice blade, I like your videos bro.

That's a good looking knife. I've been meaning to make one like it and stumbled on this video. The only thing I don't like about that knife is that it's only half-tang but that is just a nit-pick.

Hiya Doc, I just pulled the trigger on a new bush knife which I plan to pair it off with my Busse Son of Badger which is becoming my favorite bushcraft knife, my new aquistion is my Nuclear Meltdown Fussion Steel Heart I have the Anneversary Straight Handle Battle Mistress LE and it's a great chopper but its also 11 inch blade and a little heavy chunk of INFI Steel to carry around but I paired it off with my INFI Ratmandu which is a little thinner than my Swamp Rat Ratmandu, I also like my Sarge 7 which is a lite knife for that size blade and I paired it off with my Anneversary Mean Street LE that's an interesting set, it's light and complements my Wicked Tough Saw and my 2Hawks Double Bit Hatchet just fine, a little different than your toys, but that's what works for me in my playpen (Bush).

Thank you very much for the good video. That is an interesting knife.

I'm not seeing any option for the other version of your knife, can you give me a link?

I have four, slightly longer with a tanto, I have also another called an Akatsuki which again is similar, all hand made of course.

need acid etching, the pattern only appears in damascus using acid, other wise it is very light and almost invisible to the eye

totemo omoishiroi desu. A very interesting knife!

It looks like a mini Japanese Hatchet.

looks like someone broke a samurai sword

Is it just me? It's just a broken sword.

Toyokuni company says this small knife is for feathersticking. It also batons well. You will see its real benefits on the following video "My Scandi-Convex grind for FireBox lunch". Thanks.

Love the knife!! Seems like your sharpening stones are not flat.......... On a different note, what brand in that small nata knife???

very cool

great vid.

良い一日。翻訳して申し訳ありません。多くのおかげで、あなたがネイティブのナイフを愛するものに関して。potreotizmための完全な尊重。

Did the damascus pattern disappear because it was etched (painted or fake) or does it need a weak acid to bring it out again? I would love to own a san-mai laminated, traditional knife from Japan for my collection.

It is factory made damascus. Hitachi steel company provides it from the factory as a laminated Damascus with a blue paper core. Many laminated stocks are selling at Toyokuni company in various sizes and thickness. Thanks.

Is that a forestry bushcraft knife or a carpenter’s knife?. ....... I have an similar modern version of this which was advertised as a ‘demolition tool knife’ Same size with a knife blade that doesn’t have a point but a right angled end sharpened so you can use it a chisel. Full tang with steel pommel for chisel & mallet work. I bought to use as a carpentry knife for general building products. ............ It doesn’t have a pointed tip so I can’t use it for drilling a hole or for for detailed carving with the normal drop point area.

Thank you, sorry I missed that.

I have a drawing in a book by Hokusai which a man is using a knife like this.

Might be time for some Virtuovice wilderness sheltercraft videos!

Would a kama be useful for bushcraft in Japan? If so how would it be used?

Super couteau ! =)

you might like the CRKT "RAZEL" series of knives.

Hello Doc, I guess you can't break the tip off your new Japanese Bushcraft Knife, heh heh heh, I like it, but is it strong enough to baton with it, at least kindling ? A sharp point is beneficial on a bush craft knife, like starting a hole in a hartboard, or digging out something out of a tree, multi functional, but I like that knife, and I'm sure I could get use to it, the more I look at it the more I like it, Thank You for sharing it with us.

I like your vid, which is the use for bells? to avoid to be shot during hunting season?

I would buy that knife. Not for bushcraft. Just to have it for it's uniqueness.

It looks like Dr. Wako may own the larger hatchet (see his recent Nata Hatchet vids) and I recally him doing an initial review on it w/in the past year or two. Here is his video on the Nata Hatchet from Toyokuni: youtu.be / QQ4DQ4uBWAA Regarding yen to USD (or any other currency) type into google [numeric value] yen to usd for the conversion.

Stunning knife, I would give shaving a go with that.

are you sure the mora is 12c27 - i think its carbon steel.. havent seen a 12c27 coated blade by mora! it even says carbon steel on the blade as far as i can figure it out fullscreen!

What's the price difference between the two knives, the japanese one is hand crafted right?

It is bip-801 which costs you 9.500 yen plus shipping. Toyokuni takes international orders with PayPal, and ship overseas by air. They start assembling the knife after the order. It will take 2 weeks at the maximum and the knife will reach you in 3 weeks or so. They take only Japanese order form and I will give it to you if you need it. Thanks.

How and how long did it take you to get that mirror finish?

Bell is for bears

Toyokuni takes international orders with PayPal. If you need it, I will give you a Japanese order form.

you found a way to get rid of broken swords?!

Rule of thumb, harder more brittle, Yes ?, did you weaken the edge by removing the slight convexccedge, and yes a relief edge is a better splitting edge.

I like it

I only wish I could read the website to order one

Thinner slices better, but for what I do with my knives, I look for a more robust knife for strenght, I would pick the Japanese knife over the Mora....

Godbless for you it is good produc

Any idea how long the tang is on the hatchet?

I really love this medieval style Japanese blades. You said A2 is comparable with blue steel. So, white steel, ¿with what steel can i campare?. I´m starting in the collection of Toyokuni blades, for my bushcraft gear. Your help is invaluable. Thank you very much!

No problem ;)

All Toyokuni knives have the san-mai construction. The core blue paper steel is expensive. The side damascus steel is not so much. This steel must be a factory made san-mai damascus steel regarding the cost. Thanks.

Where'd the tip go

Me too ! Mora is the best bro ! end of the discussion !

It is around 100 USD.

Hello I like your videos! I have an Mora Original No. 1 with a laminated blade, i would like to hear your opinions on a laminated Mora.

"no problem"

Yeah. Thats what i called my x. The great destroyer.

Ditto. I like the one that goes for 14,700円（税込）but I'm not sure what I'm getting or how much that is in USD (shipping?).

それは面白かったです。 英語でやってくれてありがとう。 私は初心者ですが、もっと学ぶことに興味があります。

The core is Japanese blue paper steel made by Hitachi company.

Simply T i T's ,,, Doc.

I love the Japanese knife there. I went to the site, but I cant read Japanese how much is us dollars, and what model# is it? Help would be much appreciated!!!! Chuck

Is the other half of the knife somewhere around? I don't like that one, I like the first Japanese knife you reviewed, that was the one!

Hey there, I'd really want to purchase the first knife on my trip to Tokyo next week. I will be there until the May 1st. Can you tell me again what brand is and where I can purchase them? Thank you very much!

Is this Toyokuni knife the same as the Kanetsune knives? It looks almost identical.

The Japanese knife i think made better feather sticks.

What exact model is that Toyokuni knife?

Making vampire stakes...

Wako ... Might you know how i can go to that website link but in english ... i wish to order that knife but i cannot read anything ... thanks

Lmao, Imma scared to order, lol!

Kind of looks like a sawed of Samurai

It is not complete mirror finish. #3000 stone and Bark River white compound do it easily.

Toyokuni ships worldwide and takes PayPal. But they only take an order form written in Japanese. I will be able to help you if needed. Thanks.

Do you know what the price would be in us currency

Why no piont on the knife? It looks broken, but what do i know, im American lol .

he said its comperable too A2 steel
