Excellent documentary, Murray. I thoroughly enjoyed and appreciate better understanding of the tradition that you are now the bearer of. Much respect.

I could sense the authentic respect for traditions and how it translates to respect of life: the Life of others and their efforts to build skills that uphold tradition! It felt sacrosanct that Mr Sakimuro gave notice and value to Mr Carter and allowed him to grow and not be overbearing. In fact I saw deep respect between all parties and it is so sad that this is missing in the modern western world. It tugged on my heart strings severely. Many thanks for posting this video. I feel it stripped away alot of crass commercialism that I see in the marketing of modern knife enthusiasm. It is cutthroat and competitive which leaves me cold.

This story warmed my heart . Through perseverance and hard work, you were permitted in the world of a Japanese traditional craft. Outstanding accomplishment Murray. Few have your skills and knowledge, much less your passion for reaching for the limits of a hand crafted blade. I'm surprised there isn't a movie about your facinating journey. ✌ 😃

I really liked watching this.. not sure why either. But the bit where Murray's mentor was like "He's come a really long way and has developed in skill quite a bit" you don't see that kind of stuff in the United States with apprentices.. and trades, and it was honestly touching in a certain way. And to see the appreciation of a trade and skill being passed on.. and taken up. A lot of "feels" and mixed emotion were experienced while watching this. Thanks for sharing.

WOW! I most respectively have to say I was impressed just watching your videos on sharpening knives but after seeing this video it was so very touching I almost cried. I for one very much understand how traditional the Japanese are with blacksmithing of blades and for you to be accepted by a master in Japan to carry on his line of work speaks volumes for you and your work. There is no doubt you are the real deal and living the life of a master smith that most could only dream of or I'll say this I could only imagine how great it would be to be accepted to follow a 16th generation master and carry on as the 17th. I am truly inspired and after seeing this video will make it a goal to one day own a piece of your work! Thank you so very much for sharing and keep up the good work #17 Carter Sensei!

Thank you Murray for the information about Japanese traditions in knife making. There are many skills where this tradition was carried forward. There was a video played on public television years ago about the Japanese traditions of teaching skills so they could be continued again and again. One of the things I remember the most about the story is that often times the master did not teach the skill in the manner we usually think. The master would let the student observe his work with the intent that the student would learn on his own. Thanks for a great story. Charles Bender

@ 10:20 "a softer inner core & harder outer shell"? Ooops, a 'speako' there Murray? You yourself forge a knife with a harder (Hitachi white steel #1 mostly) inner core & milder steel outside. :-) Awesome! I wish I would have seen something about you years ago Murray. To uphold the roots of Japanese bladesmithing without compromise in any way, is with the utmost respect to the heritage. I would have immersed myself, as you did, in that heritage with the same respect & dedication. If not only to learn from someone as yourself with that dedication & perseverance but also in hopes of passing it on in the same way. My utmost respect & well done sir!

Actually, that is not a mistake. Murray was absolutely accurate in what he said. This katana style blade had a shingane (softer inner core steel) and a kawahagane (hard outer shell, which becomes the cutting edge), which is a common traditional sword construction. (See "The Craft of the Japanese Sword" by Yoshindo Yoshihara). Murray's current blade construction is reverse, with a hard core which becomes the cutting edge, and softer outer laminates for support and ease of sharpening.

Ah, thanks Andy (I assume). I have watched all I can find of Murray's videos & his are as you said, the reverse. Also, that again backs up his knowledge of Japanese bladesmithing. Something new yet again! hehehe

@Master...deBater 8 жыл бұрын
When I heard Murray say..."A softer inner core and a harder outer shell"...I immediately thought "Kobuse"!!! I believe this was the most traditional method of Katana construction!!! The hard outer "Hagane" layer keeps the blade polish from scratching as easily when practicing cuts and of course the softer "Shigane" core allows the blade to flex instead of breaking. As usual Murray was absolutely right...and it reminded me that if Murray says something about blades that doesn't sound right...always look into it because there is usually a really good reason for him to say it!!!

This is how lineage and skill should work in a “perfect” system. The next generation should always be better than the last to some extent. That’s how progress is made, how techniques are honed...leaving the next generation even *more* equipped to progress. Of course, It doesn’t always work that way and larger technological progress can interfere with or replace certain human elements. But the greater trend should ALWAYS be forward.
