I'm so grateful and thankful for making this vid. You earned my credit. I am hoping that lots of people would reach out to know about your way of understanding the NIHON. and I hope you'll land the JOMON some day. thank you so much! More power to your channel. Stay safe always, love and create.yt
Great job, it came out looking fantastic. I'm really impressed how you restored the markings. And no adding your logo was well deserved - a good restoration needs to be signed!
@@PJTForging well, if the weather continues like this........ I've had to keep all my equipment securely wrapped in tarpaulin and stashed away. Really need to build a shed....
Great job! "Fan" like symbol is a family crest / kamon called kikusui, it is a kiku (chrysanthemum flower) and sui (water represented as a stream). The 25 King is actually not king but numbers 255, if the head weighs close to but less than 956.25 grams then I would speculate that it is 255 monme a traditional unit of weight. Also this a felling axe so please go and fell something lol
I've heard that one too, however I don't think that's the case. In Japanese, the "unlucky" numbers tend to be 4 (shi) or 7 (shichi) due to the fact that they resemble the word death (also shi). So I have no idea why they would stop at 7 to avoid a not unlucky 8. There are also FAR more than 8 mountains in Japan, so I believe this to be a general false story made up by somebody from the west. The version I've put here I found from a source that seems more reputable, plus it makes a lot more sense. :)
@@PJTForging Affirming you are correct, it is representation for 8 specific gods, for protection and it is also said to be a play on words, the three lines called miki, a tree trunk is also called miki (mi means three) just sounds same, and the four lines are called yoki (yo means four) which sounds like yokeru to avoid... meaning to avoid being hit by the tree if it falls. 4 and 9 are bad luck numbers here, 7 is good and so is 8. Im just a guy lives in Japan, plays with old tools and stuff, and likes to read.

That's all super useful! Thank you! And yeah, I know it's a felling axe, but I have no trees to chop in my garden. :(
It looks really good. I'd not want to use it on anything after that xD
Haha, thanks! No such thing as an axe that's too nice to use though. ;)
Fair point, never want to let a good blade go to waste.
is it for sale?
No burn to hardening 🥱
Quantos centímetros mede o cabo do machado
Quantos quilos pesa o machado amigo poderia me informar por favor se puder responder agradeço muito 👍
8 mountains in Japan, but its bad luck to name the 8 so hence the 7 lines on the axe head.

@@PJTForging we will agree to disagree 👍🏻
