Hi there. I am currently watching and enjoying your video. Please can I make a suggestion? When you are working on relatively thin steel, it would be a good practice to support the piece you are sanding,by resting it on a straight piece of wood or similar material, that way you will eliminate the chance of bending it . I hope you don't mind my suggestion. Peter
Hello, Peter! I am so happy to hear that you are enjoying the video. I don't mind the suggestion at all and I think it is a valid point. You can never be too careful. Sharing best practices is what this channel is all about! Thanks again and good luck with your projects!
Hello, the kogatana was locked in place and could not be removed. It did not really change anything in the restoration because the tang would have been kept just the way it is regardless.
Amazing video man, it's hard to find videos that goes this much in details about both history and function of the object, keep it up
Thank you very much! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos! Take care!

Why didn't you just remove it from the kozuka??
