Cool spotting of Yoshihisa Tanaka, son of Yoshikazu Tanaka. I like how he politely declines when Takada san says he is world famous (probably referring to Tanaka uchihamono). Funny enough Takada-san's knives are well renowned and ofc Yoshikazu's as well.
Thanks for posting this video. I thourghly enjoyed the entire process. I had the opportunity to visit him last week and this video completes my experience.
I don't remember what the prices were on the other knives but I bought a 240mm Gyuto for $460 USD. I also suggest you visit the Sakai craftsmanship museum a short walk from Takada san's shop. They have a large display of knives and other locally produced goods for sale. You can see some of it near the end of my deer with knives video th-cam.com/video/WoU7-KTDA1Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=0PEQZstXdqJMJ8mC
you cracked the jackpot, how did it come to it? did you just ask him to show you? it'smuch nicerto see the whole process with explanations, because it gives you a sense of time too
I asked if I could take some video and told him I like watching the process. Then he started showing me how he does it. Takada san is a great craftsman and a great person.
I'm planning to visit his shop next spring; this got me fired up. He agreed to a visit so I'm still debating which knife/knives I want to get. What did you end uo buying and what was the ballpark cost?

I forgot to mention the guy at the end is the blacksmith Tanaka! He happened to be making a delivery while Takada was wrapping up my knife.

Around 4:22, he was talking about the cladding on either side of the core metal, which is the higher quality metal that you create the edge with.
He seems like such a friendly, down to earth dude. He tried his best to explain each stage.
Thanks for sharing this video watching this was a treat!

Very rare sight to see Takada No Hamono's almost entire shop
And suddenly Yoshikazu Tanaka shows up!

He acid etches the knives a different points in the rest of the polishing.
Those parts are secret
