      Polishing and koshirae are not professional level. It's a good amateur class :-) You have to be objective. In the future, I will be able to introduce the work of better craftsmen in the field of polishing and making koshirae. It's a completely different world. Not to overdo it with modesty, I think I make great blades :-p

    I always loved Pavel’s blades. He’s famous for his Zubu-Yaki hamons (no clay). From personal experience and in my opinion it’s the best looking kind.

    Don't sell yourself short as a polisher, I'd be willing to trust you with either of my old blades. A self-taught polisher in Canada with a background in lens shaping polished an old tanto in bad condition noone would work on. A friend showed a visiting sword polisher from Japan the blade and on hearing the man who did it was self-taught complimented him and said he wished many of his students showed the same dedication.

      I have great reserves in the quality of polishing. A lot of study is required for restoration work on old swords. I do not do it. Just polishing the new blades I made.

      @katanamaking2606 I know that the subject is immense. Steel making in feudal Japan was very variable in quality and just because a sword is old doesn't mean it will take well to an "art" polish.

    wow I can't quite stress this enough and true expression via TH-cam comments is limited but I absolutely adore your work. It is absolutely fascinating and genius in my view. of course, you are not an official Japanese wordsmith with bureaucracy/certificates and all, but from what I can see this has really facilitated your creative expression.. You combine master swordsmith, master koshirae maker, master polisher and all that into one final piece of art. this is exactly what has been missing in Japanese culture I think, to simply dare to do it all.. and create something that has the single creative will of one person in it; like the "Gesamtklunstwerk" by Richard Wagner in operas

      Honestly, I don't think doing everything is ideal. I'm probably good at making blades. Everything else is average. You can't be good at everything. Every single part requires a lot of study and practice. And also time. You can't handle it all. It is good to know the basics of all crafts. You can manage it better. But when multiple specialists work on the sword, the result is fantastic. I cannot achieve such a result on my own.

    Wouldn't it be possible to polish in a different position? I think a few makers use whetstones in a seated or standing position.

      True in terms of weight distribution. But if you have a lot of knee damage or a replacement- ugh. If I ever try traditional stones I'm building a seated setup. Leg doesn't work that way anymore.@@katanamaking2606

      Obvykle se leští co nejlépe. Z funkčního hlediska, je čepel dostatečně ostrá a ,,hladká " již po třetím kameni. Nevyleštěný povrch oceli je ale náchylnější ke korozi a samozřejmě, z metalurgie toho není moc vidět.

      Okay. I understand. Kissaki is the most beautiful part of the sword. This was a Shinto style sword. It seemed appropriate to make such a kissaki. Balance. (aesthetics) I can make a similar sword. I regularly send abroad to Europe and the USA. Australia too. pavel-bolf-katana-kaji.com/cs/kontakt@@SLmetalmania

      Unfortunately, we only have the capacity to polish the blades we make. Actually, I would need at least one more togishi. Polishing is still at the amateur level. This is another reason why we do not polish original Japanese blades.
