This tanto knife is a slightly modified version of unokubi. The whole build is hand made except drilling the hole. Definitely not nice like what Japanese makes but a little bit similar to that. Japanese blade smiting is definitely one of the difficult tasks I have ever done. You need a lot of patience in your work. The blade material is EN31High carbon content tool Steel. I want to do the Hamon line but get only a small fraction at the bottom and little bit over the fuller area which I really didn't like. I want that wavy pattern of Hamon but this is my learning journey and very pleased with the outcome. I personally think that I did better than my last wakizashi build, rest I leave up to you because you are the judge. The saya is made with African wenge wood, extremely hard and dense wood and with lack of tools I definitely felt a lot of problems but with the final tight fit, I get that is much satisfying for me. The tsuba guard plan is to do an inlay work but I am very bad in engraving and unable to achieve that result and abandoned that plan. The brass guard is little heavy so to remove a little bit of weight I made some barley plants and leaves and that looks good to me.
Definitely suggest the knife you wanted to see in the next build and I am going to make a giveaway of that knife.

  • Wonderful to see a smith forging a beautiful blade without a hydraulic press or hydraulic hammer, just as I wish to do as a hobby, very soon. So happy I came across your channel friend and defiantly liking what I've seen and subscribing, with blades made like they were always made. If the Hamon doesn't show next time, design using nail polish and when dry, etch the blade in fluoric acid. Thank you from N.W Wales GBR👏👏

  • for the hamon, try putting the clay on higher and dragging thin lines of clay down, or put it on like you did and use a round tipped stick or something to push it back towards the spine, this should get the hamon to come out more. also, quench in water next time and it will be harder, making the hamon stand out more. beautiful work, very detailed and meticulous. keep it up :)

  • Truly spectacular! About your hamon; you should use a thinner slurry and build it up in layers beginning at the spine and working your way down the bevel but not entirely to the edge. The idea is to protect all BUT the edge and your's had a great deal of material on it's edge, thus, your hamon wasn't as dramatic as it could've been. That being said; don't forget that most hamon don't "pop" until the final buffing of the edge.

  • Very nice. Fit and finish is excellent. May I share with you? Take the forge scale off of the blade with a stone or a solution before you file. Your tools will stay sharper. Forge your habaki before you make the hamon. Heat the blade on the spine, letting the heat bleed up to the edge before you quench. I wish you well.

  • If you use a water hardening [shallow hardening steel like the 10xx series or W-1, W-2] steel and quench in Water, you will get a nice hamon. Using tool steel, or something like 5160 or other deep hardening steels, you can only quench in oil or it will most likely crack as water is way too fast a quench for these steels. You could go for a straight "temper line" or "differential quench" by edge quenching similar to what you did here.

    • Thanks for the nice tip Mr. David. I tried in the past of full quench in the water and break the knife, so always afraid of doing that, but definitely going to try this shallow hardening technique.

  • I recently made a few tantos out of files. They are about 11" maybe...but when i water quenched the first one. I was suprised by the curve i got. About 1/4 inch of curve from center....I was so excited it didnt crack AND I got a curve

    • I never got any luck with water. Did three times in the past and every time giant crack or big banana with crack and some time with file work done to it multiple cracks. Any recipe you have.

    • @@ambroscustom only thing i i might be doing differently than others is i quenched in only like an 1 and 1/2 inches of water meaning the bottom of the trough is 1 1/2 and i only did an edge quench, held the blade still and used a considerable amount of furnace cement on spine of the tanto for the hamon....both times resulted in success other than slight warpage left or right
