Он поправляет уже закалённый клинок молотком! Это говорит об ужасном качестве стали клинка. Это меч одного точного удара. Если им фехтовать, как европейскими мечами, он просто погнётся. Вся техника удара при вытаскивании меча из ножен происходит из очень плохого качества стали в средеевековой Японии. Я сам кузнец, я знаю о чём говорю. Вокруг Японии больше мифов, чем правды, чувак. Живи теперь с этим! :)

@@Alex_Pervach 1.他用锤子调整的是红热状态下的刀筋，只不过刀条中段被煤灰覆盖，尾部干净的部分可以看出来。如果你所说的“已经硬化的刀片”指的是放入水里还有滋滋声音的刀片的话，我已经不会怀疑你的观察力，而是直接怀疑你是不是酗酒导致脑部永久损伤了。 2.太刀/打刀结构和西欧的长剑完全不同，长剑使用单一的钢材，所以刀匠希望它兼具韧性和硬度，日本刀有时会使用不同含碳量的钢材/铁加工（例如三枚合，类似的现代产品参考瑞典fallkniven的f1系列生存刀），还有刀刃和刀筋也会同时进行不一样的热处理，导致一个刀条不同部位却永远不一样的微观结构（你不是不知道为什么日本刀不可以像long sword一样折弯后恢复吗，这些都是原因）最后希望你多学习，少妄评。

@@Samyo107 в европейских клинках тоже использовалась кузнечная сварка. Собственно, получить твёрдость и пластичность клинка проще всего именно таким способом. Кроме этого могла применяться зонная закалка, то что делаете и вы, обмазывая клинок глиной перед закалкой. И возможно ещё науглероживание режущей кромки, тоже технология известная довольно давно. Надеюсь, что вы так же знакомы с технологией булатирования стали и выплавкой тигельного булата. К чему это всё? К тому, что узорчатый дамаск сейчас делается исключительно для красоты, а не для качества клинка. Лучшие клинки получаются из моносталей или из порошковых сталей.

@@Alex_Pervach 1.我从不觉得中世纪的产品性能可以超过现代材料，我个人甚至不喜欢大马士革的花纹，拿日本刀举例，九五式士官军刀的量产刀条在一些方面就已经超越了江户时期的普通产品 2.你的误区，你的语境里，“欧洲产品”可以弯折后回弹”，我可以告诉你，同时期中国产品也可以做到，那是不是就是说日本刀很差劲，用材劣质呢？很明显是设计的不同，斩竹席要刀筋正（这三个字我不知道你翻译不翻译的出来），这个动作要求为的就是要减少刀片在斩击物体时的形变，而日本刀本身就是这种特化物，长剑能在后期出场率高是因为战场需要一个可以攻击盔甲缝隙的工具，而日本人把这个工作全权交给了手里的长杆武器，太刀显得反而有些鸡肋，但如果就斩击的流畅性来说，太刀强于长剑，因为牺牲韧性提高硬度的特化，也变得没法像长剑那样45°弯曲还可以还原。

@@Tenchigumi "Of course, there are tons of katana-shaped swords you can acquire outside Japan, but essentially all of them use western forging methods and modern metals, unlike the man in this video." Which makes them better, from a functionality perspective. Also, there are many Japanese swordsmiths who moonlight in China (due to the laughable, authoritarian sword laws which limit them to making only 2 swords per month in Japan), so if you really want a katana made by a Japanese swordsmith using the traditional Japanese methods (including starting with crappy, primitive bloomery steel), you can get one made in China for about $1,000. "And honestly, even this master is eschewing some of the more archaic techniques for modern ones (like using a power hammer instead of a group of apprentices with mauls)." A power hammer isn't a modern method. Water-powered hammers (i.e., powered by running water imparting motion to a water wheel > cam > hammer) date back a couple thousand years to ancient China and the Greco-Roman world, many hundreds of years before the Japanese even started making swords.

In traditional Japanese sword making, mud is used in the process to control the hardening of the blade during heat treatment. A layer of mud is applied to the blade, with varying thickness along its length. When the blade is heated and then quenched, the different thicknesses of mud cause the blade to cool at different rates. This controlled cooling process creates a differential hardness between the edge and the spine of the blade. The edge, where the mud is thinner, cools more quickly, resulting in a harder and sharper surface. The spine, where the mud is thicker, cools more slowly, allowing it to remain more flexible. This combination of hardness and flexibility gives the sword its renowned strength, sharpness, and resilience.

Experiência incrível, pela técnica apresentada, nas mais de 3 horas que passamos conversando, e pela paciência em responder cada pergunta. Após a demonstração do passo a passo da forja, visitamos o o Dojo e após nos ser demonstrada a arte do tameshigiri, praticamos, mas lógico que com muito menos destreza do que o mestre que nos guiou. Após obter algum sucesso no corte o Mestre Matsunaga quis saber nossa profissão, ao descobrir que éramos policiais, contou sobre seu pai, que foi policial no Japão, nos convidou para conhecer a coleção de armas de seus antepassados em sua residência. Eternamente grato ao Mestre Matsunaga pela recepção e ensinamentos!

The most incredible thing here is that raw material they are using. To make such awesome swords from such material. Crucible steel was available in Europe already almost 2000-years ago. And making a good sword out from that is that great feat as this is.

@kalleklp7291 11 ай бұрын

@@elenafoka6506 I'm not quite sure what you mean? 4:16 That liquid right there is a mud bath made out of clay. He uses it to hold onto the ashes. Ash is used to alter the carbon concentration in the steel. Too much and it gets brittle like we see in cast iron...hard but it breaks when dropped on the floor. Too little and the steel is much too soft. It won't hold an edge for very long and is easily bent. Btw..there is a very good reason for him to fire his furnace with coal instead of the briquettes one can find for such a furnace. The coal is pure carbon and will also contribute to the carbon content in the end. Briquettes are pressed coal dust and contain a lot of unwanted substances, such as sulfur, phosphor, sodium nitrate, limestone, borax, sawdust, chaff, and wax. These components are unwanted in the finished steel as they degrade the quality. I hope I could help? :)

I've seen several of these now, and this one truly does it all by himself. There are of course more fancy smiths who - as far as is not shown in this video - also use the forgewelding technique, wedging the harder core/edge between the softer side/spine of the blade. This one however, displays beautifully the craft and the amount of precision that is needed to forge such a piece of art
