Another really fascinating video, so nice to watch. The way light reflects from that blade is hypnotising. I'm also surprised how round his stones are, is that on purpose to create the desired geometry or just something that has happened and he works with it? I'd be also interested in hearing more about -nagura names for the stones, because I've recently learned how here in the west we have the cleaning/slurry stone nagura, but many of the natural stones in Japan seem to have a name including nagura, so it's assumedly a much more versatile word than just a name for the specific stone we use here. In general the world of natural stones seems endless so that could be interesting to learn more about. On top of it, looks like people who use them choose a specific stone for every individual blade by some standards and experience, making it quite a unique thing for every single blade.

Great work, hamon looks like a picture of snowy forgotten land. Is it possible to talk more about natural stones and their PH and how it works on steels?

@@ivanyuka-japan Hi Ivan, enjoyed this video greatly. I have a whetstone related question, which I´am wondering about since years. How does the Togishi manage the oxidation of the part on the sword he is polishing? Have got japanese stones from different stratas my self, but all of them and also the synthetics causing an immediate oxidatin effect. Especially when the slurry is´n washed off with soap or somthing alkaline. Greetings

Really like your videos! Great, and informative content. I wonder if you have noticed there’s a typo in your thumbnail though?

[@ivanyuka-japan]

Ops thank you for letting us know, fixed!

Katana yang luar biasa😍

[@AKCrazyRussian]

Awesome 👍🏻

[@qaibthai8996]

i would never understand the depth of their polishing..... in the usa, i would just finish it in 1 hour. and just live with the result. to think it takes them an entire month means that i haven't scratched the surface to how they see polishing. all that extra freee time is nice

[@beowulf_of_wall_st]

it's not free, it's very very expensive

[@charlieredman3710]

Hi! i would love to know where i can purchase stones such as this?

[@ivanyuka-japan]

While there are different good shops for different stones, but we recommend Namikawa Heibei in Tokyo for Uchigumori stone, their stones are very nice
