Fascinating - I came here because I saw an antique hibachi and have learned a lot (not least that it’s for indoor heating and not cooking). Thank you for sharing

Should I make a smaller saya nomi for a tanto or is the size more of a matter of ergonomics?
@islandblacksmith 3 ай бұрын
smaller is nice for tanto...you can easily make do with one 3/8" or you could make a pair, one slightly smaller and one slightly larger than that...

Thank you, that's just what I needed. I'm writing a renaissance fantasy where a blacksmith is soldering brass parts together for sword fittings, so I needed to know how to do it with a forge. Now I know the secret is to have a peacock supervising.
@islandblacksmith 3 ай бұрын
haha, yes! the real secret is plenty of charcoal and no more air than necessary...this makes a carbon-rich atmosphere around the piece which prevents oxygen from corrupting the joint...

yes, i have to order from japan as well, but i have the option of the north american variety now as well...if you can get some of the real thing from somewhere like namikawa heibei and then find something similar locally in hardness, density, grain, low acidity, low sap, low moisture, and stability, it may work for what you are doing...

they are carefully poured from a ladle onto a cold steel plate, it cools them fast enough to keep them from flowing too flat...it is still quite hot but liquid aluminum is cooler than most molten metals...

this is a centuries-old method used to repair not only broken stones, but to fill large gaps where harder mineral deposits must be dug out to prevent scratching...this stone has been polishing traditional swords for several years since the repair.

Hi. Have you ever watch any of the Satoichi movies? His cane sword is straight and looks like it’s on the slim side I’m 5’7” in height two feet 6 to 7 inches in nagasa? So how much for such a sword using fresh 1080 steel in Sirisaya? As to the hamon a shallow suguha ( that you do so well) polished to the first uchigumari stones . Thanks.

tanto is my area of focus so i haven't done anything larger yet, also not something i can put on my list at this point...but yes, slim, a bit shorter, and fairly straight in a cane is what you are looking for...there are a few antique versions that come up for sale from time to time even...
