Knife Making - Japanese Tanto (from old file)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 мар 2021
- Another knife making video. Full build of a Japanese style tanto. This time I forged the blade. It was all new for me to make such knife with all the parts and the fact that you have to fit things perfectly so they can be assembled and disassembled without glue and rattling. It was a challenge but also so much fun. I really like to try something bigger in future.

I spend a lot of time in my shop working on blades, and when I'm not, I'm usually watching videos about bladesmithing. This is some fine work! The effort to show the making of all the fittings, saya, tsuba, and tsuka. Great job! I love the shinogi zukuri blade with the longer kissaki/boshi. It's beautifully done. I can't say enough good about this piece. You should take great pride in this work. Thank you for sharing your work and taking the extra time to film it for us.
Thank you , friend. Your comment really cheers me up. And in this exact moment I really needed some cheering up :) I watched and read a lot of materials about these blades and I wanted it to be close to the real examples. I also know that it's far from them. I hope that in future I'll have the chance to make more and improve myself more :)
Bir ülke düşünün ki bu bıçağı bulmanın imkanı ve olanağı yok. Nasıl ulaşır ve sipariş veririz.
Such a masterpiece! That knife is a recognition of the blacksmith's excellent effort.
This is WAY better than most Tanto videoes you'll find on youtube. Very well made and love to see the whole prosess.
Thank you dude , for comments like this it was worth spending one month to do this :) I hope that I'll make another one even more detailed in future.
Yeah I wasnt expecting it to be this good looks like an ol japanese dude made it
Your file and belt work is really fine!!! Great job! I can’t imagine to see what you would be able to do with a full shop with the best tools and machinery!!!
Thank you , my grinding skills got a bit better with time but they are far from perfect :) Maybe I need a nice power hammer or press now :d
Doug would love the blade, laugh at the setup and just admire the effort
thank you , I made it for a month , but I didn't work every day , I worked on 1 more project at the same time and the filming made things slow. If I work only on it maybe it will take 1-2 weeks
6:08 you’ve invoked the muse-in this case, This Old Tony. 😊
Gotta say, the finished product is magnificent. I love the blade and all those fittings come together perfectly. For someone who claims to not know what he’s doing, you sure know how to get results.
Thank you and yes I took some inspiration from Tony and Torbjörn , great guys who inspired me to start making videos :)
This is the best modern-technique video I’ve seen for a tanto. Has all the fittings and everything, minus the menuki (handle ornament). Any modern bladesmith (including myself) ought to have respect for the time, effort and skill that went into this blade. Well done!
Thank you , now when i decided to leave it for myself I plan to make a menuki and rewrap the handle with paper corners in the ito when I have the time :)
Dude I agree usually I find it a little obnoxious when watching people make anything like this, but this is the first time I watched this and appreciated the work put into it and allowing for the machines to do the hard and tedious work and the rest being done more traditionally!
Absolutely beautiful. Great work
I was searching for a tanto video and this was the first one to take my attention
Nice , I hope that it was enjoyable for you to watch ;)
Excellent work mate, great attention to detail, and you made the most of what you had. Well done!
Thanks friend :)
Insane job, period!
Masterful work, from a smith much better than I. You've earned a subscriber.
well done!! you did a great job!! the real definition of handmade. 🤩🤩🤩
That is a seriously impressive blade, very well done. Loved it.
thanks for all the nice comments friend :)
Ну наконец-то на просторах интернета встретился аутентичный танто) Браво.
good job...beautiful tanto!
for a brother who "does not know what one is doing" and humble, quite kool and impressive... bravo: )
thank you , friend :)
Amazing! the tanto looks great.
This is so badass and impressive I’m honestly speachless!!
thank you , it sure is nice to hear something like this :)
@@RustLegion nice video
Amazing work, seriously!
Amazing work !
Wow you did a great job! It looks great!
Awesome job, I think everything turned out great!!!!
These are the kinds of videos I like to see. I’ve seen so many tanto videos and they don’t even make Most of the hardware correctly like you have. Good job man.
Thank you , I just couldn't skip most of the fittings. Yes it takes a lot of time to mate them , but it's also so much fun. I knew someone will appreciate it :)
Man that turned out amazing. All the fittings look fantastic and the blade too. It deserves a menuki too upon shoelace replacement.
Thank you mate , I now replaced the laces with proper ito and ray skin. Maybe I'll make it a menuki too :)
You did a great job...beautiful hamon line, even its not real one but it looks just like real and its enough satisfying...good skills of making...
Very nice work. I am sure Hanzo is quite happy with your work.

Amazing Jon man
Good job. It is beautiful knife.
Great work! 👏
Fantastic work

Mans filing a file with a file. I love the irony.
Awesome! Now you have to make the katana to go with it! Good luck finding a giant file...
Great work man, you're a talented craftsman.nice shape and dimension of blade.
Thanks mate, I did some research on historical examples :)
Absolutely beautiful
Great job! So many fitting is right.
Beautiful knife brother
it's beautiful work buddy, if i've made this knife, i would do it full-tang
very nice blade and fittings.
My god this is beautiful. And I really like the Hamon, it looks like a very traditional one, not made by an ork. Beautiful work!
Thank you mate :)
Good work!
That is nicely done.
Huge respects to you sir, I don't think I've seen a single video of the making of a tanto/wakizashi/katana that did everything as right as this, even down to the shitodome, this is truly fantastic. (Bar maybe the "samegawa" but I can't hold that against you as the real stuff is difficult to get a hold of) Bladesmith to bladesmith, hats off to you.
Thank you for the nice words my friend. There are videos of people making katanas/tantos/ wakizachis that are on a much higher level than mine. I even got alot of good information from them ("That works" channel and
"Tetrahymena" ) but the majority of the videos on the topic are very far from tanto indeed. I also have much more to learn and I hope that soon I'll be able to start working on something like that again.
cheers!
@@RustLegion yeah the that works channel and and most of the old man at arms videos where Ilya takes the lead are very good for staying true to tradition, but very few show every single step of the process how your video does :)
Love how much time was put in this blade/project especially the habaki with those small details hamon looks nice I'm japanese sword practitioner. Love your work and good content and you probably inspire others to forging most importantly good kid looks really authentic to a real modern japanese blade with a real ito will look different.
Thank you. I replaced the materials for the tsuka with real ray skin and real(as real as some online shop can sell you) ito cord. Still no menuki and I couldn't figure out how to do the wrap with the paper wedges, but this will be for the next similar project :)
@@RustLegion I wanted to do a battle wrap on my cold steel wakizashi due its use and yesterday I polished it using 800 grit for a better practical finish
Dang that looks good
This was relaxing to watch
Doug would definitely say..."it will keaaaaalllll"....🙌🙌🙌
Wow look at the detail, you're talented, Bro! Keep it up!
You did a great job on that beautiful tanto
thanks friend :)
You are very welcome, I give props to you ,you seem so humble, said you had alot to learn ,well you are well on your way .keep up the great work
@@draven3838 I will :)
You've got a lot more knowledge than most my friend you actually made the whole fitting set for that blade when most don't even go half as far as you did great blade bro
thank you , I would like to make even more accurate and detailed one some day (and i should make a meniki for this one )
@@RustLegion I think a simple arrow minukie would be very nice for it
Sincerely, Wonderful Job!!!
thank you :)
You're so funny! xD and very talented! keep it up... hugs from Brazil!
Thanks friend, hugs from Bulgaria :)
Awesome work!! Can't wait to see more. Subscribed!
Cheers friend , then I'll try to not make you wait for too long :D
Thanks for the awesome build and video, hope to try it myself sometime
I am happy to hear that you plan to try it. I'm sure it will be a lot of fun. Good luck :)
Thank you!
Amazing video showing some of the finer detail. And great finished blade!!! I'd buy it!!
Thank you :)
very nice job and congratulations 👍👍👍
Very nice work
Bellissimo. Ottimo lavoro. Bravo.
Beautiful blade bro!
thanks bro
Your weapon will KEEEEEEL. 🤣 That's beautiful. For your first attempt at a traditional Japanese blade, that's 100x better than I could do. Great job!
thank you , I should make another one to see how much I can improve it :)
@RustLegion Go short sword next time! Wakizashi. You did a great job on this one, man. All the fittings are beautiful.
This what I call perfection
thank you. It's not perfect for sure but i'm happy with the result too :)
Stunning and a beauty Great
this is what you called talent
awesome tanto,you are great knifemaker
thanks , friend :)
@@RustLegion would you sell me this tanto and for how much
Good job man🔥🔥🔥
Great work!!!!😁😁😁😁
Wow Nice Tool Making
Bravissimo!!! Ottimo lavoro!!!
dude just because the hamon isn't especially neat, doesn't mean you didn't do an excellent job in forming it properly. I personally like the rougher look of it. It's a quite charming bit of untidiness that helps distinguish it from most of the examples you see, and i really think that adds to it.
thank you :) your comment cheers me up
He used the file to file the file. Smort

You should put that in a file to keep it nice and safe
@@stardusk1726 No cuz Microsoft might file a report for saving a file about using a file to file a file🤣
Beautiful
I wish I could do this one day
Lord knows I only have the patience to cook pasta to feed myself than making this. Beautiful work and nice knowing where all the parts came from. Wish I can order one and afford it
well pasta is awesome , I wish I had the patience to cook it more often :d
Really good mate! ! That hamon was a money shot! You've got a spectrum of skills across smithing, leather, sharpening,timber, This is 2 years later I bet your ito maki got better , I started with shoelaces too 👍 ( ended up on paracord- it is just the most practical and can bind so hard)
Thanks , I changed the ito with one that I got from aliexpres :D Unfortunately I haven't made anything like that since then. Maybe I should make one soon :)
Hey Blacksmiths, I would love to see a traditional bright sword from the middle ages, that would be lovely surprise for me... so when you got some time I would love to see you try!!! Thanks now 😂😉👍
hello friend i am not sure what exactly "traditional bright sword from the middle ages" means and google doesn't show me good results, can you give me a bit more info about it , it may be a good idea :)
Nice man!
Very Beautiful Tanto 👍👍👍Great hand work 👍👍Great video 👍👍
thank you for the nice words :)
Bahut mehanat karke aapne sunder cheez banai....sirji
Very beautiful...❤️❤️❤️
Nice work bro!
thanks bro :D
cool video!
AMAZING work man
Thanks mate :)
@@RustLegion your welcome also I really like Katanna's and the blade shape in general
@@nolanlau3058 Well who doesn't :) Japanese people knew how to design and create a real functional and deadly piece of art :)
@@RustLegion i mean that's fair ur not wrong 😀
Sweet knife
Fantastic vids. Subbed.
thanks mate , I hope that soon there will be more nice vids :)
For the ito wrapping, i recommend a vice. Itll give you a REALLY tight grip. I also recommend using skate laces instead of shoe laces, especially the thick kind. These both will give you such a tight grip that you wont even be able to move the wrapping at all. I even go the extra mile to lightly scorch my wrapping to give it a shiny and tightened look that also gives it a little bit of sweat resistance. Wonderful video!!!
Thank you for the tips , I replaced the shoe laces with proper ito wrap a few months after the video :) Yes I should make myself a special fixture for the handle so I can clamp it on my vice :) For my next tsuka project I will try to make my setup better. Cherrs
@@RustLegion you just got yourself a other loyal subscriber. Good stuff man love you videos! One craftsmen to another! Just saw your forge welding bike wheel video im gonna try it myself! Didnt know bite parts had decent steel
This is awesome
Thank you :)
Make sure you oil it! such a beautiful dagger!
Man! U totally smashed the house with that one! Is it for sale?
Verry nice 🤩
Mate you did a fantastic job on this. Dont worry about the Ito (handle wrap) That will come with time and lots of practice. The Hamon is also very nice....If you want to. You can get a number of bits of steel and do test Hamon making....try different patterns created with the paste. Anyway...you're doing well. Keep it up and read lots about it and watch as many vids as you can. Rob.
Thank you Rob. I now have a proper ito cord and will soon try again :D . Thats very good idea about the hamon - to try on sacrificial pieces. Thanks again for the nice words , they are well appreciated :)
Bravo re megale. nice job
te felicito una verdadera obra de arte desde Venezuela te saludo
Great work, very nice Tanto.
I looked at the final product and thought: Wow!!! Thiers no way he does this good a job and is not making a living off of this!!! Also when I saw the final product my mind and eyes were drooling saying: Damn!!! Hopefully I can make this one day if I get into knife making 🔪 🗡.
thank you friend :) If you like doing it, you will be good at it :D
you know what this is just perfect, some random guy who doesn't know what he's doing like the rest of us is making stuff that we want to. take my sub.
11:52 what type of sorcery is this?? Bluing the metal and its actually not blue-ish. this is the best thing I've come across.
Hahaha , thanks mate. This is one of my favourite comments so far :) . Not a sorcery , just hot bluing (I go past blue color , so it's more like grey ) . It's used for steel parts that will not be damaged by the heat (for example I can't blue a blade like this , because it will ruin the temper ) Cheers :)
welp your first blade was better than my latest
well keep on making new ones then. They will be better and better :)
Sir, i see no heresy in your work! :)
so many things done so very well, but some things were also done very poorly and it really brought down the total quality of the build considerable.
Please make another one because the Blade and the Habaki were quite well made, everything else needs a LOT of work.. Reply if you want specifics on what you need to improve and HOW to do those improvements.
You seem passionate. Keep it up.
Yes of course there are a lot of things made wrong. It's the first such knife I made. I was limited by my materials and tools and my knowledge. Yes I would like to hear your specific information on what was made wrong and how to improve it. Cheers!
@@RustLegion Nothing was done poorly. You never misrepresented yourself. No need to bow to a supposed expert.
This is epic
