I don't comment that much but I'm loving this series so far and I think that you are an amazing craftsman. Very talented and deeply in "love" with your work :D.
Interesting! The movements you were showing on how to use the "hisage" was similar on the kiridashi video you made,:) Also, the shape of the hisage tip reminds me of the kogatana tip except it's not sharpened:)
Another detail I wouldn’t have even noticed, thank you for sharing. But couldn’t help notice another piece you have in the bowl in the opening shot :-) is that a new tsuba you are working on?
I’ve been trying to use a “hisage” that I made, with limited success but, now that I’ve seen your demo I realize that I have been doing it incorrectly.
He knows because he is a master with a lifetime of experience. Not that you need a lifetime to know that. The more important thing to address is how your comment seems to contain a bit of irrational anger. You ought to deal with that before trying this sort of art because one thing is certain - impatience and working with an agitated mind is certain to ruin the effect this method tries to so carefully create. It also make life suck in general.
Can I just congratulate your camera work in this series. It's really superb and a major part of what makes this series so compelling.
Thank you, Bella is responsible for that aspect of things. She makes me look good too ;-)
Always a privilege to watch you at work, thanks again for all the hard work you put into your craft.

Do you think that these techniques would work well on Damascus steel?
Absolutely, yes, I've done it. The difference is in the amount of force needed at any stage because the steel is that much firmer.
@@FordHallam Awesome! I kind of figured that would be the case. Are there any historical examples?

Tell us how you know!

@@TheLawDawg Ha! The joke was, he's so experienced, he's tried everything so we don't have to.
@@nahte123 Fair enough. Loss of sarcastic inflection is the curse of the internet.
