Sakai Takayuki repair a broken Deba knife blade by Norikatsu Nisimura

[@Lily77717]

I love to see people take pride in what they do. He looked so happy to see that his work turned out well.

[@sunaJH]

I'm happy to see his work turn out so well also:)

[@panther105]

When you see how much time and skill goes into properly sharpening a knife such as this one it makes me appreciate how much we have lost in our instant gratification, throw away culture of the west.

[@qpae123]

+panther105 Where do you live and what a heck are you talking ?:))

[@sunaJH]

So well said-most people can't sharpen a knife with a stone anymore

[@panther105]

Your comment makes no sense.....

[@panther105]

Really?!! Not like this guy. You really don't understand how much of an art this is... Years and years of practice. Did you even watch the video?

[@2adamast]

I hand sharpen, 1 minute on some natural stone, no electricity (not unlike every shaving man did 100 years ago). Does this give me moral superiority?

[@TocilarulTimisorean]

I love his work, i love their culture, i love their pride in results, i love their attention to details, i love the way they sharpen knives, i love their modesty and honesty. Japanese are the type of people that have the most of my respect !

[@dannz2603]

Beautiful workmanship and result.

[@marccretten]

Gorgeous blade! love the Japanese knives and the hard work to make them.

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

how do you restore the damascus patern after sharpening?

[@urbansasquatch5537]

acid

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

which kind haha

[@urbansasquatch5537]

Ferric chloride and white vinegar use a 1:1 ratio of the two and I heard you can use certain kinds of coca cola products not sure though anything with a acidic structure haha didn't literally mean the kind you take when you get bored haha

[@DutchBushcraftKnives]

ahah thanks!. Ferric chloride is hard to come by these days where I live. But I shall keep my eyes open

[@csfreak50]

my gyuto is sakai takayuki and i gotta say I love that knife, 12" when i bought it and now 9" after 4 years using it 6 days a week and still sharp

[@UmarRosyad]

What is that "green water" at 0:58 ??

[@abelardocarneiro7007]

Trabalho fantástico um monte de equipamentos talento e muita dedicação parabéns deve ser muito bom viver numa cultura que deseja sempre o melhor acredito que o povo japonês tenha acesso a boa parte destas maravilhas

[@aditya9942]

Which part is broken?

[@lesberkley3821]

Why doesn't he fillet the paper? :) Seriously amazing work.

[@DrunkPacifist]

Hi. Does anybody know is it possible to buy a horizontal grinding wheel like one in the video (1:28)? My friend is a blacksmith, but he was unable to find it anywhere

[@jawbaw6471]

Where do they get those huge stones?

[@timberwood9864]

Wonder what lubricant is in the water?

[@davidparry8514]

I like the anti freeze in the water

[@lkmaryfla1]

is the first spinning wheel stone that he is sharpening with built in to a mountain wall or boulder?

[@espadasperu]

Beau B not a rock border. Its grava, mud, acumulated by years of work.

[@Vee_real1996]

was that anti freeze

[@BN-43]

What is that green water?

[@tablinstore]

It's a rust preventive water.

[@jean-lucperez4582]

😊 merci beaucoup pour la vidéo c'est super 👌 👍👍👍👍 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@theRealFukAss]

What is the Horizontal grinding wheel called? trying to buy something similar but having a terribly time!

[@allgoo1964]

Bart Jacher says: "What is the Horizontal grinding wheel called? trying to buy something similar but having a terribly time!" == Those big diameter stones are prohibitively expensive and made for industrial use(somewhere in the tens of thousand dollars). Here's the small version for the professional trade people(carpenters, cabinet makers etc. mostly for chisel blade sharpening). It's still expensive for the home use. www.homedepot.com/p/Makita-1-1-Amp-15-3-4-in-Blade-Sharpener-98202/203231412?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D25T-PowerTools%7c&gclid=Cj0KEQiA_eXEBRDP8fnIlJDXxsIBEiQAAGfyoWSg8THxDVfHpH09MrhxTkt8zLkZgb4JyEu_-_W08-oaAp9r8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds

[@DivingDuckDon]

Though it would not be like what you saw in the video, you could fairly easily set up a horizontal disk grinder with water feed. Much of the same processes could be achieved this way. Much of the equipment you see in the Japanese Shops is non existent in the USA...and even in Japan, difficult to get and as stated...very very expensive, but last a LONG TIME!

[@chang.stanley]

You could just make your own for a couple hundred. Buy a bunch of stones(or whatever abrasives you want), glue them to a plywood baseboard, shape it to a circle, put it on bearings, buy an induction motor(or a grinder or any suitable motor), buy a vehicle alternator belt or fan belt and set up the belt from the motor to the abrasive wheel(belt drive) to whatever gear ratio you want. A simple belt sander is probably way better though, in my opinion.

[@bleachnineable]

Is there anyone know what brand of sharpening stone that they use?

[@arceusmaster91]

bleach nine it's a wetstone. There is no real "brand" when it comes to them, you simply just go with who has good reviews. Most of these licensed Smiths get their stones from samurai schools, and they are not cheap. One of these stones are designed to last for quite a while, and are really high grade. Most places that specialize in Japanese cutlery will sell large wetstones. My set is a small travel set, consisting of a 80 grit, 800 grit, and 8000 grit, and it works well for reshaping, sharpening, and honing my knives.

[@bleachnineable]

Hey thanks for the information, that's really complete explanation. Btw, for your set what brand you used? Or maybe you can give me some recomendation about wetstone that people usually use?

[@anthonybarca2896]

Not sure about the the thick stone or the wheels, but the brown stone at 2:05 appears to be a King 1000, and the yellowish one at 2:30 a Naniwa (brand) Chosera (series) 2000. Both of these brands are great in my experience. Also look at Suehiro for good quality, reasonably priced stones (everybody seems to love their Rika 5000. Me included.)

[@alexvangasse3447]

what is dat green color in your water ?

[@joshw.2739]

the stones used in japan are actually a hard clay which contains abrasive particulate, what you see in the water is part of the stones which have been scraped off and dissolved.

[@alexvangasse3447]

joshua woodruff Thanks for the info

[@hatch1892]

It is a solution they add to the water to stop the water rusting the carbon blades. It is not from the stone itself

[@sunaJH]

Sensei Nishimura, I must have your tools!

[@caunerjuarez6686]

Why is the water green?

[@stefanwolf88]

Impressive!

[@sebastiaanfelius]

where do i buy this knife?

[@tablinstore]

Thank you for your comment. You can purchase our store. www.tablinstore.info/product/966 05335 Deba 150mm

[@Master...deBater]

Damn...how do you break a Deba???

[@UmarRosyad]

exactly my though.. i wonder what is that mean "broken" i mean it's fkin 5mm thick

[@lucioelias7840]

imagina que corte!!!

[@cs512tr]

fantastic

[@numheed]

Why don't you never see them made for the left handed person.

[@humorss]

+numheed what are you talking about..there are lots of left handed single edges

[@numheed]

Well i'm yet to see one in the UK. if you know of somewhere please share. cheers P

[@humorss]

numheed UK? I'm not sure. might have to do some digging if you want to buy it locally, or get it online. I'm in Canada its even harder to shop for specialty things

[@Tremulousnut]

numheed left hand knives tend to be made to order (or with a long wait time) because the demand for them is low.

[@solarhellas6687]

What a job!!!!!!

[@jamesbarisitz4794]

Hand sharpening in antifreeze all day... spells cancer.

[@adamli7168]

西村功胜 doesnt work for 青木

[@vincentsoo3868]

What is the green liquid that he uses for sharpening the knife on the stone?

[@mpalestini]

Looked like antifreeze, god I hope I’m wrong.

[@jameswild8335]

It’s something they ad to water to hinder erosion, saves worrying about rust from having the knife wet while sharpening

[@marcofortuna1612]

Bellissimo
