That is insane! I make tantos as well (much worse ones), and was looking to see if the fuchi and koiguchi were both buffalo horn in an aikuchi koshirae. I found this by accident really, but damn what a find. You really are one of the best craftsman i’ve seen.
Wonderful work. Congratulations. I am a manufacturer of Japanese-style swords, Brazilian... Please, do you have a video, or could you explain to me how to fix the menuki? In the same tantõ koshirae style. Thank you.
@@katanamaking2606 I am currently working on a commission for a very similar tantõ, 16th century style, with kozuka. Samegawa-zutsumi no tsuka/saya. My thanks and congratulations again for the reference video of a beautiful work.
I'd rather just forge blades. And he made tsuba. But there are not many koshiraeshi , habakishi and togishi available here. That's why I had to learn everything. But the quality of the work of specialized craftsmen is much higher. But also the price, of course.
I usually make the most basic tsuka. Before the glue dries, habaki. Other dimensions develop from habaki. (tsuka, saya) When I finish the habaki, the tsuka gluing is dry and I can continue working without a break.
It's a gouge file. It has gears in rows behind it. I'm probably good at making blades. I can handle Koshiorae and its components at an amateur level. I don't know whether to make a video on this topic. Maybe someone better. Like Ford Hallam ?
I've got huge Respect for your Skills. Polishing...and making your own Tamahagane. Your old World, and a Master in your own right.

Thank you.
There is a pin on the bottom of the menuki. A hole for the pin is made in the samegawa and the menuki is glued.

自分に自信持て、突き進むのが、一番と思います、外国ではまず::No1です、素晴らしい職人です、
May I ask why you don’t make the habaki first?
I usually make the most basic tsuka. Before the glue dries, habaki. Other dimensions develop from habaki. (tsuka, saya) When I finish the habaki, the tsuka gluing is dry and I can continue working without a break.
What kind of wood do you use for handles and scabbards?
alder
Ohhhh.... thats how you make a template for the samegawa! Thank you!
What material did you use for the kashira and kurigata? I’m a bladesmith in training and I’m trying to figure out what materials are good for what.
buffalo horn
Hello! Is there a shop for your work?

Hello Pavel! Please tell me what tool did you use to finish the habaki?
Could you make a video master class on different habaki finishes?
Thank you
