STOP Buying Cheap Knives! Meet Japan's TOP Handmade Masters

It's strong, isn't it? I was told to be careful. I will do my best. This is the part that becomes the handle of the knife. I was born on August 2, 1989. How old are you? I'm 94 years old. I graduated from junior high school. I was 17 years old. I've been doing this job for 73 years. I live with my son and grandson. I don't have to worry about my son anymore. I don't have to worry about him. I'm fine. What do you think of your grandson's experience? It's still a long way to go. It's still only half of my experience. I'm going to do it myself. I want my son and grandson to do it. I've been doing it so far. I'm going to do it with my son and grandson. I'm sorry for my grandson. I'm sorry for my son. As long as I live, I want to help him as much as possible. I want to make him happy. I want to make him strong. I want to make the best out of him. You've been doing this work long. I'm sure you feel responsible for your own work. Make sure it's well-sealed, and mark it with a mark that says you made it yourself. When you look at this line here, you can see that it's uneven. While you're shaving it, you can see the line and shave it. This is a sawdust. It's a sawdust. You can use it to suck out the oil. When I was in high school, I told my parents that I couldn't make a house. They said, this is the first time you're going to make a house. Until then, I'd been making a house. Since I was in kindergarten, I'd been going to a knife shop or a horse shop. When I told them I was going to make a house, they said, don't make it. They said, don't make it. With the diamond sawdust, I'm going to put it on the tip of the blade. This is a makeup remover. This is a wire brush. I'm going to put this stone powder on the wire brush. The soft iron is gray. Only the steel is black. Let's do it together. I'm 60 years old now. I'm in my 9th year. I graduated from high school. It's my 42nd year. I feel sorry for my ancestors. I'm sorry for my ancestors. My father has been a master for a long time. I think it's amazing. I don't want to lose to my father. I respect him. I respect my son as a craftsman. The reason is... In the world of the blacksmith, I've had a hard time financially and at work. I can't live without paying for what I've made. I can't make my son suffer as much as I've suffered. So I talked to my father. My father is still healthy. I told him that I wanted to work with my parents. My father and I agreed. At that time, my son and my wife said, Please. I said it. Is this a commemoration? No, it's nothing. I don't need it. It's cool. I don't need it. I really don't need it. No, it's not. I don't need it. I'm sorry. I can't sleep because I'm leaning to the north. What? I was happy. I bought it at Hitoshibushi 3 stores last year. It's really easy to use. It's the easiest knife I've ever used. It's a spare knife. I want to give it to a friend. I told him my name. He bought me three of the same knives. It's handmade. The thickness changes a little when you hit it. It's handmade, too. I want you to touch it while looking at it. Choose the one you like the most. I think it's a good thing to make it yourself. I'm 89 years old. I've been standing in front of the fire. I've been out every day. I've raised my family with one arm. I've been supporting my family. I think it's amazing. My father graduated from high school. I came to Asia right away. I'm 61 years old. If I make a knife that I can't cut, I'll break the trust between my father and grandfather. I want to do my best to be like that. I've been protecting my ancestors. I want to continue to do so in the future. I'll do my best. If you use too much of this, you won't be used by others. I don't like it, but I'm glad there are people who like it. I've been living like a blacksmith all my life. I'm going to shape it with steel. I'm 120 years old. The president is the third generation. I'm the fourth generation. I'm about four generations old. I'm 74 years old. I started working after I graduated from high school. I've been working since I was a high school student. I came home at 4 p.m. and started working at 7 p.m. I'm the third generation. It's getting really hot now. This is a wire. This is one-to-one. I made it at home. I can make it better. Even if you use it, it won't melt for a long time. It will cut for a long time. It cuts quickly. Customers often say, If you use too much of ours, you won't be used by others. I'm happy because I can cut pickles thinly. When I cut fish, the fish goes straight. The fish doesn't stick to the bones. I can cut it cleanly. I'm going home now. This is iron. I'm going to put this on and cut the surface. It takes about 15 minutes. This is what it looks like. I don't know until I finish it. I'm going to sell it to the government. The blade is what I eat. What does it support? I'm not an expert, I think it's nice to have someone who is glad at everything. I had a knife in 1900. It's been 124 years. I'm a young man. I've been cutting for 100 years. I think it's fine, it's too special. I don't think anything will go wrong. I think the children will grow up to a certain age. I used to make firecrackers at a wood shop. I thought I could advertise this. I'm going to put it in the oven, make a groove, and then blow it out. This is before putting it in the oven. This is after the molding is finished. This is after putting it in the oven and baking it again. I'm going to blow it out now. I'm a parent, and I've been doing this job since I was about 26. Since then, I've been a teacher. I've lived in the same household for a long time. We don't fight, but there are some differences. I've been living a life full of shame. I think it will continue. I'm going to flip it over when the steel comes out about half. It's getting smaller and smaller, so it's getting cleaner. I think it's hard to see the boundary between steel and metal. I'm going to color it. I'm going to make it easier to see the boundary between steel and metal. I'm just going to hit it lightly. This is a return. It's hard to break the picture if you stick it in after baking it. Do you know it's broken? One. If you think you've got your hands on it, you'll stop there. I want to make something as good as possible. I'm making it with the technique of the sword. It's a little different from other knife makers. This is the shape of the knife. If the temperature goes up, it's about 900 degrees. At first, I make the edge. Where the picture goes in. I had to make a knife because of the flow of time. That's why I'm making a knife. I'm making it with the technique of the sword. It's a little different from other knife makers. I'm going to draw a line in this shape. I'm going to cut it into this shape. I need glasses. I can't see without my glasses on. This is a sword. I'm going to cut the line I drew with this. It's like this. Next, I'm going to hit the part that goes into the picture and stretch it. I'm stretching it back to the original. If this is short, it will be easier to pull out when I put it in the picture. I'm making it longer. Next, I'm going to put a grinder on it. I'm going to bake it. It's going to catch fire. The steel is not hard yet. I'm going to harden the steel while I'm baking it. I'm going to raise the temperature, cool it down, and harden it. I'm done baking it. If you do it the way we do it, it will have a good cut and hold the blade better. After this, I'll put it in the oven and bake it again. The knife is bent, so I'll sharpen it again. Next, I'm going to sharpen it. I'm going to sharpen it rough. I'm going to sharpen it rough so that it can be sharpened quickly. I'm going to sharpen it with a rough stone. Usually, I sharpen it roughly and finish it with a sharpening stone. This sharpening stone has smaller eyes. If the eyes are small, the cut will be smoother. This is where it's on. There's a little rough spot here. This is the rest of the rough sharpening I did earlier. I'm going to sharpen this part again. Next, I'm going to sharpen it with a sharpening stone. I'm going to make a clean line between the raw and the steel. This black part, about 2mm. This is where the steel is coming out of the sharpener. The white part is raw. I haven't sharpened the other side yet, but I don't know. This black part is the steel. Next, I'm going to add a pattern. I'm going to fix the groove. It's a little bent, so I'm going to straighten it out. This is oil. Katana is for preserving tradition. A knife is for preserving life. We work as craftsmen. We study until we die, no matter what we do. We want to make something good, even if it's just a little bit. If you think you've reached that point, you'll stop there. If you don't study all the time, whether you can make a good work or not depends on how you do it.
