What’s amazing is that blacksmiths developed making Tamahagane over the centuries without knowing all the metallurgy & scientific principles. The somehow intuited it & learned from practice. For example, Japanese blacksmiths figured out how to create very pure steel during the smelting process, how to fold it & make the blade more uniform, how to mix hard & soft steels for various parts of the blade, etc. it’s nothing short of amazing & an art form. I’m from New York but Half-Japanese & grew up with a lot of Japanese culture in the house though I’m American. I always love to learn more about part of my ancestry & heritage.

Thank you. It is the greatest pleasure to watch a craftsman at work. It is most unfortunate that a way has not been found to keep these skills and knowledge going past the next few generations. There will always be people who appreciate handmade items.

The fact that he said that he feels that he has only reached 70% of his full potential as a knifesmith is not because he doubts himself, but rather due to cultural proffesionalism, known as "KAIZEN", which is to continously improve to reach ultimate perfection. It is a cultural phenomenon in Japan that extends to all facets of live...

I really love how japanese craftsmen are so humble. When I am teaching i feel the same way. I could always improve.

"I need to keep practicing forever" Wow, the dedication and love for one's work personified.
