I’ve watched countless knife/sword videos on TH-cam and none of them even come close to this. Every time I think you are done, another video comes out with even more incredible detail being created. This is amazing, I’ve loved watching this blade come to life 🖤
I agree. There's just something about BBP that really enhances the experience when you watch his videos. The speed of the video resulting in a perfect range of sound and the minimum background noises. It's so satisfying!! 😄 Edit: How could I forget about the precision?! A magnificent combination!!
Amazing! What a great piece of art and skill, I like how every part has it`s individual look and at the same time matches perfectly with the other parts.
Seeing your beginnings and now seeing your work, it's an incredible journey, the improvements to the workshop, your crafts, everything incredible. Thank you very much, I send you a big hug from Patagonia Argentina.
That is stunning. What a beautifully crafted homage to master craftsmen. You've shown so much skill and determination in recent years that I don't think there's anything beyond you anymore. I have complete faith in your ability to learn almost any skill to a reasonable standard. Thank you for bringing us on this journey. I hope you display this with pride!
Блин люди вот только не говорите мне что дирка на клинке которая там довольно большая вас совсем не смущяет и то что перо из серебра почти выпало поскольку выборку в метале под него нужно было зделать глубже и использовать другие инструменты которые даже у меня есть хоть я и даже рядом с живым ювелиром не стоял
I have followed your videos for a long time and I am deeply impressed with the way you develop your metal working techniques. Your chisel work in this one was crazy good!
As always you killed it.again your a man of many talents.just continue on with your quest to bring back classic and restore our past.great video as always.just continue on.kudos 👍👍👍😎😎😎
Impressive! Man like how much research did you do to come up with all the design elements? I love every bit of this, it just flows so well together. As always your attention to detail is next level.
I absolutely love the wakizashi series and I hope to see more great projects like that. I’m actually planning on making a wakizashi for the TH-cam samurai competition.. 😅
Ну да стремлен е это харашо но ошибки нужно исправлять а дырку в клинке исправить нереально потому нужно делать новый понимаю дамаск капризная штука но нужно же было хоть немного понимать что делаеш и с чем работаеш
cool video. Do you have any suggestions how to add a Kogatana sheath to a standard saya, or an idea how to secure a Kogatana on such a saya that doesn't have a sheath for it?
I am beyond impressed with your work. Brava!!! A small request/ challenge for you, if I may? Could you possibly recreate the sword that Rutger Hauer carried in the movie 'Blind Fury'?
It's absolutely beautiful. Does the design have a historical significance? I'm not understanding why you'd want a utility knife requires you to remove the sword first to get to the utility knife... maybe something they just used around camp and stuff, or maybe just a backup of a backup?
It would be very interesting to hear what a Japanese smith has to say about this masterpiece, any criticism is good no matter how positive or negative and considering all the time, sweat and blood that BBP (Black Beard Projects) have put into this beautiful masterpieces.
Thank you!! Not really, it's meant to be used just as letter opener anyway :) The one on the original wakizashi I got also looks very fragile. These blades are just too thin for any serious use.
I have watched this series from the beginning. You have a fine hand for metalwork. I do not know why you wanted a wakizashi, but I'll concede you have a fine one. Are you going to build a katana next?
Thank you!! And yes, you are correct. Even though I intended my kozuka to fit the hole of the tsuba, after all the shaping it came out just slightly wider, so it does not fit. In the final episode I will address this by enlarging the hole of the tsuba :) Cheers!
This was great to watch. So now, 5 months in, you have made your wakazashi. Now I'm wondering, I'm sure you've learnt a lot along the way. Will there be a 2nd wakazashi?
Beautiful build! It's just a little funny however that you can't draw the knife without unsheathing the sword by pulling it through the hole in the tsuba, when traditionally thats the sole reason they're there in the first place, and your sword even already has one.
Yep! :) I've answered this in the menuki video description I think. I'm not sure if menuki are intended hold any significance, I chose the feather shape primarily because I thought it would be an achievable first attempt in uchidashi (chasing/repousse).
Thank you!! I'm not sure I want to sit down and think about that! :) Way too much and sooo much more than I anticipated. I think I have now three months of actual work in... Something like that
The perfection of this piece demands that the earlobe-shaped Kurigata be replaced with a geometric one made from dark horn as it is around the kurigata. Sadly, very sadly - that will probably never happend.
Beautiful engraving work, but you wrecked a perfectly gorgeous piece of thin and wide raindrop Damascus...random pattern in the proper thickness and width would have served just as well, required far less jiggery pokery, and you wouldn't have wound up with a cold shut near the spine on the right side of the blade...
мне всегда казалось, что этот вот маленький ножичек должен выниматься без необходимости вынимать сам меч из ножен. там на цубе есть дырочка с боку от рукояти, я думал, что как раз через это отверстие этот ножичек и должен проходить. не?
It's beautiful, yes, if u watch the 'u killed my master' on kill bill V2 delete scene, the tusba suppose to have a empty space in order to draw out without drawing out the sword itself, in the old time, I believe they store the chopsticks along with the knife, basically just a eatery tools.
I’ve watched countless knife/sword videos on TH-cam and none of them even come close to this. Every time I think you are done, another video comes out with even more incredible detail being created. This is amazing, I’ve loved watching this blade come to life 🖤
I couldn't agree with you more. This is the best series I've seen, covering every aspect of craftsmanship.
I agree. There's just something about BBP that really enhances the experience when you watch his videos. The speed of the video resulting in a perfect range of sound and the minimum background noises. It's so satisfying!! 😄

Thank you so much everyone. Much appreciated ❤️ Love you!
Amazing! What a great piece of art and skill, I like how every part has it`s individual look and at the same time matches perfectly with the other parts.
You never cease to amaze... Every single video I watch just stuns me. I swear you're getting better with every project. This is a flawless creation.
Sinceramente sono rimasto senza parole. Mai vista così tanta attenzione al dettaglio e tanta pazienza. MITICO!!
Seeing your beginnings and now seeing your work, it's an incredible journey, the improvements to the workshop, your crafts, everything incredible.
Thank you very much, I send you a big hug from Patagonia Argentina.

I miss the days when you used to do restoration videos. They were impressive. You brought new life to things that people had given up on.
I'll make more in the future for sure!
I do agree but the making stuff is fascinating too.
You can be proud of you !
What a beautiful serie you offer to us.
Thank you
Sir every time you add to this awesome project it gets better and better thank you for sharing this with us six stars brother
Шедевр! Вы истинный Мастер! Удачи Вам в воплощении новых идей.
Блин люди вот только не говорите мне что дирка на клинке которая там довольно большая вас совсем не смущяет и то что перо из серебра почти выпало поскольку выборку в метале под него нужно было зделать глубже и использовать другие инструменты которые даже у меня есть хоть я и даже рядом с живым ювелиром не стоял
Pure japanese craftmanship and elegance, very beautiful.
he's italian, in italy... lol
as I have always said.
BEST CHANNEL ON TH-cam.

From start to finish, just amazing work 👍😃
The level of details and the quality of your work is way beyond amazing! I really appreciate you bringing us along! Huge thank you sir!
Ага особеннно дырка в клинке и почти выпавшее серебряное перо на ножнах замечательная идея но вот исполнение очень плохое
Sometimes you amaze me, this is one of those times! Thx
Beautiful piece! A show of true craftsmanship, skill and art.
Именно кусок поскольку кроме творческого порыва здесь нет ни мастерства ни знаний в ремесле
You have an incredible amount of patience.
A Beautiful creation 👍👍👍.Thank you for sharing. Be safe🇨🇦
Incredibly great result! 👏👏👏👏👏
Only the hole in the Tsuba should allow the removal of a small blade without removing the sword from its scabbard.
You are truly an artist! Excellent!
Impressive! Man like how much research did you do to come up with all the design elements? I love every bit of this, it just flows so well together. As always your attention to detail is next level.
just goes to show with a project you care about how your skill can really grow very well made blade congrats and thanks for sharing
If I could have this is my life I would pay top £ for this. What dreams are made of 👏
This is just astonishing. Bravo!
The amount of work is crazy 👍
We can only hope that a katana is next to complete the set :). Watching this craftsmanship has been wonderful.
I absolutely love the wakizashi series and I hope to see more great projects like that. I’m actually planning on making a wakizashi for the TH-cam samurai competition.. 😅
Thanks!! Yeah, that's fitting :) Have fun with it!
Ну и как тогда можно описать клинок этого ножа кроме как словами позор и провал
I enjoyed this build the most
The knife is beautiful! Great Job
Вот смысл жизни. Отдавать себя тому, что хочу, умею, чем горю! 👍! Великолепно -это мало сказано. Ещë впереди...
Ну да стремлен е это харашо но ошибки нужно исправлять а дырку в клинке исправить нереально потому нужно делать новый понимаю дамаск капризная штука но нужно же было хоть немного понимать что делаеш и с чем работаеш
Love this entire build series! For the love of god though, refinish the wheels on your rolling mill!!! 😂
Love your vids, keep up the amazing work.
A veritable work of art, Sir. It's beautiful!
Hello mister beautiful knife beautifully made well done
Great blacksmith you are awesome bro 😊
Great work 👍
Enjoyed watching these builds!
Your skills are amazing, what a beautiful piece of work 🙏🏻😮
Nice work Mr Beard 👌
cool video.
Do you have any suggestions how to add a Kogatana sheath to a standard saya, or an idea how to secure a Kogatana on such a saya that doesn't have a sheath for it?
You're gonna ruin that raindrop damascus by...never mind. That looks really nice.
Beautiful work 👏👏👏👌👍
Always enjoyable content here. Bravo Sir
Wow amazing nice video like Thanks my friend 👍🤝
You, Sir, are an absolute artist!
10.5 minutes of WTF? 34 seconds of OMG! Never seen that done before …beautiful!
simply sensational. What is that red mass that you attach the piece to engrave?
Really nice work mate ... love your content, as much as my Japanese wife
How is the blade secured to the handle?
Beautiful work, BTW👍💯
I am beyond impressed with your work. Brava!!! A small request/ challenge for you, if I may? Could you possibly recreate the sword that Rutger Hauer carried in the movie 'Blind Fury'?
absolutely delightful thank you

Beautiful work!
Now that is fricken awesome.
Amaizng to watch. 👍👍
That’s beautiful! ❤
Perfektná zlatnícka práca...
Beyond impressive
what a nice surprise
Well thats just awesome!!!
Remarkable !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
breathtaking

Absolutely wonderful!
Are you concerned about the couple of failures in the Damascus layers? Beautiful work btw 🙂
Thank you!! Not really, it's meant to be used just as letter opener anyway :) The one on the original wakizashi I got also looks very fragile. These blades are just too thin for any serious use.
@@BlackBeardProjects that makes total sense, thank you for the reply.
Bravissimo!!!
MÜKEMMEL BİR İŞÇİLİK KARDEŞİM TEBRİK EDERİM 🇹🇷
Great work and very challenging project. Short question: what did you use to blacken the nanako part of the handle?
Very nice!
Fantastic!!
Che spettacolo! 🤩
I have watched this series from the beginning. You have a fine hand for metalwork. I do not know why you wanted a wakizashi, but I'll concede you have a fine one. Are you going to build a katana next?
Thanks! Glad to hear you followed the journey :)
I hope so, one day!
1:19 i was wondering what is this red coloured thing you always use to hold metal objects in it ?
Beautiful !
Brilliant!
Isnt thr kogatana supposed to fit through the gap in the cross guard?
Amazing skills. One question, in traditional katana that handle is not supposed to go through the tsuba? In yours it's seems to just touch it.
Thank you!! And yes, you are correct. Even though I intended my kozuka to fit the hole of the tsuba, after all the shaping it came out just slightly wider, so it does not fit. In the final episode I will address this by enlarging the hole of the tsuba :)
Cheers!
@@BlackBeardProjects thanks for your answer, in any case amazing work.
This was great to watch. So now, 5 months in, you have made your wakazashi. Now I'm wondering, I'm sure you've learnt a lot along the way. Will there be a 2nd wakazashi?

Subarashii desu.
✌♥️. Jôzu.
Mata ne.
Just wow!
It occurs to me to ask what is the significance of the feather motif? Is it random? Has this question already been asked and answered elsewhere?
Yep! :) I've answered this in the menuki video description I think. I'm not sure if menuki are intended hold any significance, I chose the feather shape primarily because I thought it would be an achievable first attempt in uchidashi (chasing/repousse).
Just wow ❤️❤️
What a brilliant series. How many workshop hours did you put into this project?
Thank you!!
I'm not sure I want to sit down and think about that! :) Way too much and sooo much more than I anticipated.
I think I have now three months of actual work in... Something like that
Do you ever get engraving chips struck in your hand when you swipe them off while working?
So far it never happened :) Those chips are tiny and my skin kinda thick!
The perfection of this piece demands that the earlobe-shaped Kurigata be replaced with a geometric one made from dark horn as it is around the kurigata.
Sadly, very sadly - that will probably never happend.
Can you tell me what kind of engraving chisels you use?
Onglette shape in High Speed Steel . Can't remember the sizes. I bought two many years back :)
@@BlackBeardProjects thanks
magnifique .
I take it you are also a fan of Ford Hallam?
Yesss 😁
Beautiful engraving work, but you wrecked a perfectly gorgeous piece of thin and wide raindrop Damascus...random pattern in the proper thickness and width would have served just as well, required far less jiggery pokery, and you wouldn't have wound up with a cold shut near the spine on the right side of the blade...
сколько такое произведение искусства может стоить?
What kind of warming device was at the beginning of the video?
A little melting furnace, link to product page in description :)
Looks like an induction furnace, using electromagnetism from metal coils to heat up the metal.
His on it!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
