Making a beautiful Japanese Tanto style knife from an old rusty leaf spring. This was a fun project with a great transformation from junk to elegant finished product. Enjoy the fast paced, no BS build video!
I'm not interested in forging or want to learn. But I can't seem to stop watching these types of video. Truly a magnificent art. I'm always in awe in the blacksmiths skills.
As a college student in finals week, yes...
I'm the opposite. I'm 100% interested in becoming a blacksmith as a career option. Specifically blade smith, obviously
@@adamjohnson1594 man college students never shut up about finals DO THEY???
@@Josh-kt9qh ikr, as a college student in finals this bothers me.

Its extremely rewarding when you can take an object you will never need or use and make another object with it that you will never need or use.
But can sell

This shit only comes up on my recommended at like 11pm
1 thing i liked the most about forging when i started is that you have so much in control where you are going.
OMG TY for having a store! I can't tell you how frustrating it is to find good craftsmanship on videos only to learn they aren't selling anything they make! TY!
I’m a big fan of the composition and lighting in your shots. A pleasure to watch for several reasons 👍
Are yall gonna ignore the fact that this dude just make the whole cutting edge without a guide for the angle ? You need great skills to do this...
The grinder has a guide on it where he sets the bevels. What you see is the metal being sanded and buffed free hand
@@keyworksales6241 Uh ? Excuse me but when did you saw this guide ?
like the other guy said, the grinder has a guide. also, doing it w/o a guide isnt hard
@@awasdq7684 Yes i can easily turn a metal plate into a sharp shit but that dont make it a good knife...
@@FusRoDraaaa91 ok??? that has nothing to do with my comment so just stfu
"Why does the Thanksgiving turkey taste like old-school Japanese blood thurst?"
LMFAOOOOOOOOO THIS SHOULD BE PINNED 🤣
Beautiful blade. Love the contrast between pitted and polished metal. The other details are also a great accent to the whole piece. Job well done! I would buy it if I had the money and you were to sell it.
8:30 tactical reload sounds
AK reload w/o charging
The tanto blade looks a bit thick like a 1/4” thick. You could forge it down a bit to 3/16” thick then texture the blade by using a ball peen hammer and possibly add a hamon line just like a traditional tanto blade by using clay paste on the blade then quenching it to give that wavy pattern on the blade. But overall your tanto looks great! Nice work! Keep it up👍
Shut up pretend expert. If you also hate "asmr" big tip: turn off the sound.

@@useless-zodiac8270 well basically yes.
@@comradebear5114 I'm asking WHY?
@@useless-zodiac8270 well its the final boss idk.
Always loved how some people KEEP the pitting. It gives the blade, axe, hell even a hammer character. Fantastic work
What’s pitting?
@@Tidepod_Prince its where the rust has eaten away at the metal. When you take off the rust, by either using a wire brush wheel, or using a solution and Electrolysis. A lot of blade makers, and people in general grind this away because some either dont like the look is gives or they want a clean metal look. I believe it gives character to knives or daggers. Swords are a grey area for me on this.
great project but just curious why you didn't do a traditional removable handle with a taper pin? it wouldn't have been much work beyond what was already done. I did one a few years ago and ended up being very satisfying to be able to fully disassemble
Amazing!!!!!!!! Great work! Never watched a video on forging but this was so rich and wonderfully done.
This is a 99 out of 100 kind of work. If you'd just used two pins for the handle then it woul've been a 100/100.
tbh I'm assuming tanto are made in the same way katana are with this but, a katana could have one pin, many of them did. I'm more concerned that the tang doesn't go all the way through the handle. Again I don't know if that's a tanto thing or not. example: www.house-of-katanas.eu/katana-information/the-parts-of-the-katana/#jp-carousel-273
Traditionally katana had one mekugi peg in the tsuba. If the fit was as it should be, poses to threat.
Mesmerizing. Just the sound of work. Just the creation of beauty.

hmmm.. interesting.. my velociraptor sounds completely different
Your knowledge & craftsmanship is amazing ! Great video
@farawayforge. What kind of hammer do you use? I'm just starting off and am not sure what kind of hand tools to start with. I've been using an old pair of wolf jaw tongs and ball pein hammer
Using the pitting like that was a unique touch. I'm sure many Japanese Yakuza would have been proud to own such a piece.
One thing I may suggest: Your stone holder is rocking, therefore the angle you are sharpening at is changing. Putting a silicone mat underneath may help.
Jesus christ it doesn't have to be perfect in every aspect. It's perfect the way it is.
@@someting9205 it’s a suggestion
This is the lvl of awesomeness we are used to see from your chanel! Keep up your good work! (: Question: Which Oil type do you use to harden your Blades?
These kind of videos are so satisfying!! 🤩
You my friend are a very-vert talented weapons smith. I am absolutely blown away by your craftsmanship! JESUS!
11:13 sounds like a bee caught under window :D anyway, this is awesome, thank you for making this video
This really got my attention. Love it!
I really enjoyed this video. The sounds of the rough, rusty metal is so soothing, and this is so creative. Turning an ugly old piece of metal into a beautiful Piece of Japanese cutlery is really neat!
Thank you! Really appreciate you watching
I envy your time, your tools and your skills :) Great project sir!

Beautiful work and very skilled. What it is capable of doesnt bear thinking about.
Love it from Vietnam ❤ Can you make more Japan edge daggers and Japan edge glaives
While it's beautiful, it's also not technically a tanto. Japanese swords are characterized by their layers. If it's not san mai, it's just a sword. You need an outer shell of harder steal, wrapped around softer steel. Then you quinch the blade with clay along the edge. This does two things. First, the metals harden at different speeds, so that forms the curve of the blade. You're not supposed to hammer the curve in like with western blades. Second, the clay forms the hamon line. It's a staple of Japanese swords. A must have. So while I can always appreciate the effort of creating such a nice blade, it is not a tanto, only a knife.
Yes you are right
I knew one of these npcs would be in the comments XD
@@AswollAlpaca I'm not an NPC. I just studied a lot about Katana. I speak Japanese too. Also, have you heard the good news? Jesus is real, and he loves you. There's four simple steps guaranteed by God to give you a divine revelation. I'm not talking about feelings, signs, etc, but an honest to goodness conversation with God. Most Christans never read the Bible, so most never get this guaranteed miracle. Forgive your parents, brake down before Jesus, ask for forgiveness, and read the Bible. There's deep spiritual significance in each of these steps. They are the mustard seed of Faith God wants to see from us. They're the bare minimum of effort he expects before he reveals himself. I can state with absolute certainty that if you're guinine, and you do these steps in order, he will reveal himself to you personally. It's nothing that can be missed, nor misinterpreted. Three books of the bible will be enough for the revelation. I recommend Genesis, Mathew, and then either Luke, Psalms, or proverbs. They give the basic information God expects us to know. Just be guinine, do these four steps, and boom, a one on one meeting with God himself. You've got to do them yourself though, no one else can walk your journey. These steps are guaranteed by God to work. Please, take your salvation seriously.
@@jamesmayle4712 You're insane. seek therapy, weeb.
@@AswollAlpaca there's actually deep spiritual significance in those steps. They are the mustard seed of Faith God wants from us. In other words the bare minimum amount of effort he expects us to put in to find him. I'm not crazy, it's just that these steps work, and God was mad AF when I had my revelation. So many claim to be Christian, but hardly anyone opens their Bible, so 99% never get to the point where they find out God expects things from us. It's all over the Bible though. But it's just a paper weight to nearly Everyone. To be forgiven, we must forgive. Until you've put in that bare minimum amount of forgiveness, ie the people closest to you that have raised/fed you your entire life, you cannot be saved. So the Bible will sound like garbage to you.bdo those steps in order and see for yourself. You just have to be guinine. It's not hard. See for yourself. They work 100% of the time, but you have to do them. Only you can walk your journey. It's all real buddy.

Strongly feel that this is not a Tanto, but a "Tanto Shaped Object" The look of the final product, and the woodworking, are impressive anyway.
Yes, this is the type of crafting I like, where they actually make a blade out of something else.✨
That's extremely talented. I don't think I've ever just been sitting there at a rusty leaf spring thinking let's make a knife.

Bro that’s actually really cool I would love learn how to make one
Right?!
Bro you just did
Do you believe anyone, provides the determination, research, materials and tools can become a expert blacksmith?
It doesnt take much to make a tanto like this one, anyone can learn how to do this. Making an authentic tanto is another matter. This is no doubt looks like a tanto and functions like one, but it isnt one, as the techniques involved in making it are completely alien- More modern, western and production-efficient.
hell yeah
@@DarkestVampire92 For all intents and purposes, it is a tanto, but if you wish to be particular, I'll call it a tanto style knife. While it may look the same as a classical tanto, I am aware of the differences in metal quality and how the hardness will differ greatly between a classical tanto and more modern inceptions, so I accept it for what it is. A lovely tool that serves a purpose :)
As long as you have the determinations and willpower to get through the hard times
Absolutely! The most important thing is having the money to have the ability to make this possible. Look at the thousands upon thousands of dollars in machines and tools he needs to complete this project. With determination, research, and a wealthy family anything is possible!

O trabalho ficou magnífico, e o vídeo foi a coisa mais linda de se ver, quando se faz o objeto trabalhando coração, mente e espírito, o resultado e sempre esse. Meus parabéns ao cuteleiro. Ganhou meu like e com certeza seguirei este canal.
O único comentário que achei portugues, então vou comentar com vc mesmo kkk. Realmente ficou muito bom o trabalho, a bainha ficou top de mais. Só um problema e que naquele estilo de bainha, o punho ficou sem uma guarnição prós dedos, imagina aquela madeira e muito liza vc vai cortar algo e seus dedos escorrega pra lâmina, com os dedos precionado ainda pela empunhadura , noooo capaz de ranca o dedo fora. A obra e prima, mais muito perigosa pra uso, provavelmente vai ficar só de decoração.
