SOTW #9 - Lacquering an Aikuchi Tanto Mount (Historical Knifemaking)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 дек 2014
- The final stages of finishing the aikuchi tanto. This is a collection of clips documenting the steps and sounds involved at most every stage of the process of hand lacquering a traditional aikuchi tanto mount made from reclaimed driftwood. Several of the layers have been omitted from the video when they were exact repeats of the previous ones. The process spanned a month and a half including curing and drying time in between each step. Each layer is allowed to cure in a warm, humid box for two to three days and then polished with charcoal and water before the next is applied.
Students may watch the longer edit here: • TLDW #6 - Natural Urus...
Urushi is traditional Japanese lacquer made from the sap of a specific tree. The natural colour is a milky brown that oxidizes to deep chocolate and the black colour is created through a reaction with red iron oxide. The lighting was not optimal for several of the steps here, but at least the general process is demonstrated.

thank you that was very helpful , enjoy your work
For stone finish with tea you just laqerd few more layers to get shiny laquer bumps but with steel powder you filled gaps between particles with urushi and removed excess, than put few more layers and wiped them straight after to smooth surface but not make it shiny. Did i understood well and what to do with charcoal powder?
Thanks in advance
i think you got it, same technique with steel and tea, fine screened tea is the best though...the charcoal is just for polishing, it is like fine sandpaper...this aikuchi knife has only urushi, no tea or steel...
why don't you use a foam brush so it wouldn't leave streaks in the lacquer

hello, can you tell me that you have dipped the knife in that solution so that the knife has a lead-colored coating like that, please
soak in vinegar to remove scale and etch the steel...
thank you . You have a way to make the knife colored like the gray of lead metal, so you won't rust for a long time
no, it will still rust...but it looks cool after vinegar...and then you can put on tung/linseed/flax oil and let it dry...
@@islandblacksmith thank you
What kind of shellac Did you use?
natural urushi, from a tree...nothing synthetic...
Well that looks like a pain in the ass.
