*what the dog doin?*

[@donotneed2250]

@@nuggetdealer2432, it is a Japanese ritual suicide in which two people are involved. The person committing suicide takes a Dai Katana(dagger) or other blade and guts themself. The other person, second(assistant), then beheads the person. It can also be done without a second. It is considered an honorable way to die. It's usually done when someone has brought great shame upon him/herself, family, organization. Saving face is one of the biggest things in Japanese culture. Another way to atone is to cut off your pinky and present it to the person whom you embarrassed.

Excellent video process! There is a common misconception that making a small knife is easier but the reality is that you still have to go through all the processes and grinding small blades can actually be a little harder! Great work here man!

[@mscir]

Yeah, a LOT of work went into that little beauty.

[@atosapnudin9114]

[@Xehthers_dirty_bathwater]

Idk man, every blacksmith and even traditional Japanese blacksmiths I've talked to say the larger it is the harder

[@Hoolahups]

​@@Xehthers_dirty_bathwater I think there's a balance with a perfect size for easiness, which is about pocket knife size. Smaller than that takes more work, as well as larger than it

[@Xehthers_dirty_bathwater]

@Hoolahups you are sorta right, the larger it is, the more hard work and overall more work, but the smaller the more precision, accuracy, and time it takes for the small things

You can buy them, just look up tanto envelope opener... but if you can’t afford one, make one yourself, all you need is some metal, sandpaper, and a file( not for the metal like this video shows but for actually shaping the metal)...
