Forging a Japanese Tanto
Рет қаралды 625,498
3 жыл бұрынIlya forges a traditional Japanese Tanto from tamahagane. Not only does he forge the nihonto tanto , but he also offers a brief history lesson of what was going on in japan during WW2. Speaking of WW2 be sure to check out Kards who sponsored this video : www.kards.com/signup and is available for free on Steam. This Documentary style video is a lot like the forging of Tanjiro's Katana, but we used a different construction method for this tanto and the historical talk that goes along with the build is much much different. Ilya has put a lot into not only researching how to forge a nihonto tanto, but into the lecture on some historical aspects of Japan that goes along with it.

Well done Ilya! I'm currently working on a project to get more international attention and appreciation towards Shin Gunto. Yes many of them are mass produced and machine made/non-traditional blades, however it is estimated that a 7% of all produced swords in Japan during ww2 are traditionally made Gendaito. These were made by certified 'RJT - RIKUGUN JUMEI TOSHO' smiths and the Japanese government provided the tamahagane for these smiths. During this time there were many underrated Japanese swordsmiths that worked in the traditional way(some fully traditional without power hammer) and it is my mission to collect, identify and preserve these works of art for the future. Some of these smiths even became quite famous after the war and produced stunning swords to be appreciated and won many awards and prizes(Enomoto Sadayoshi for example, a Mukansa smith).

Yes there are some family swords refitted into 98 pattern fittings. Early examples were traditional swords with relatively modern fittings, despite regulations a degree of personalisation was allowed. Some of them are really cool, I had the opportunity to look at a family sword in 98 pattern fittings, with a special patented scabbard dust cover, which prevented dust and grime scabbard when a sword is drawn. This feature was later deemed too expensive for mass production and not seen in other 98 pattern fittings.

I'm pretty sure you guys are tired of being asked to do Japanese swords, but I'd really love to see you guys try your hands at a _Kissaki Moroha Zukuri_ style blade. It was a popular style before the _Tachi_ really came into prominence, and served as a kind of mid-point in design philosophy between the decisively Chinese-inspired _Tsurugi_ (which is a _Jian_ ) and the definitively Japanese _Tachi_ . It'd also give you guys an excuse to play around with _Shibuichi_ for the fittings.

And I'd invent any excuse to use the variants of _Mokumegane_ in a blade because they are just that attractive; _Shibuichi_ just makes a nice dark patina without needing to use any Arsenic in the mix. EDIT: Not in the blade part itself, that'd be stupid. But _Mokumegane_ is a nice, soft metal that plays very nicely when used to make fittings.

A magnificent work with an amazing mini lecture on how WW2 and the development of the nation of Japan impacted swordmaking. A little sidenote: the lamination technique Ilya used to forge the blade is a rather historical one; in Japanese it's called the Wariha Tetsu technique. From what I have read and understand, the procedure he used is spot on too. Not many traditional smiths used it though, especially on long blades; a bad forge welding might split the blade in two during combat. However it was not exactly unused either, as it found niche with shorter blades.

I love these historical builds. The extra knowledge of how and why the things are done help cement it in my brain. Also the history lesson is a nice bonus

Watching Ilya build something so beautiful is very therapeutic.

Never got tired watching this. Eventhough it was just like my history class
