I have seen a lot of bench work, and I agree with Mr. Hauserman. The tool he had to work with were minimal, and his skill is very impressive.

Wonderful to see a smith forging a beautiful blade without a hydraulic press or hydraulic hammer, just as I wish to do as a hobby, very soon. So happy I came across your channel friend and defiantly liking what I've seen and subscribing, with blades made like they were always made. If the Hamon doesn't show next time, design using nail polish and when dry, etch the blade in fluoric acid. Thank you from N.W Wales GBR👏👏

The word " Craftsman " doesn't do You justice ! You're an Artisan !!!! You have " living proof " that You don't need a bunch of power tools to create a work of art , like this that ANYONE would be proud of !!!!

all you need to be a bladesmith is a file, some clamps, a place to light a fire, and a whole lot of patience. tools are just helpful. they make the job quicker and easier. but they are not necessary

Do all the grinding by hand. Man, you have balls (of steel!). Amazing.

for the hamon, try putting the clay on higher and dragging thin lines of clay down, or put it on like you did and use a round tipped stick or something to push it back towards the spine, this should get the hamon to come out more. also, quench in water next time and it will be harder, making the hamon stand out more. beautiful work, very detailed and meticulous. keep it up :)

Truly spectacular! About your hamon; you should use a thinner slurry and build it up in layers beginning at the spine and working your way down the bevel but not entirely to the edge. The idea is to protect all BUT the edge and your's had a great deal of material on it's edge, thus, your hamon wasn't as dramatic as it could've been. That being said; don't forget that most hamon don't "pop" until the final buffing of the edge.

Yeah man it's definitely not close, just trying to mimic the Japanese way.

For the hamon, less clay is more. Try a very thin (1-2 mm) layer next time. Obviously you have to have the right kind of steel as well. great work!

Very nice. Fit and finish is excellent. May I share with you? Take the forge scale off of the blade with a stone or a solution before you file. Your tools will stay sharper. Forge your habaki before you make the hamon. Heat the blade on the spine, letting the heat bleed up to the edge before you quench. I wish you well.
