@@SouthGlass "Sharpening" in the western sense is right at the end. For the rest of the video he's basically doing what a blacksmith/knife maker does. Calling him a 'sharpener' is almost insulting because he's so much more than that.

Awesome skills this man has picked up from a amazing master ! Beautiful work thank you .

A lot of consumers may buy those hand crafted artisan knives for the romance of it alone. The usefulness of any knife is determined by the owner's ability to keep it sharp.

It is amazing to watch. Today advances in metallurgy kind of destroy that romance of knowing which iron sands are best, the 34 hours or so of smelting, the hand bellows and the color of the steel in forging, rice straw, two helpers with sledge hammers shaping folded steel into the blade shape, the plunge into water to let the blade curve ... and all. Today, it's powdered steel alloys in precision mixes, computer controlled temperatures, mechanical presses, diamond whetstones, jigs.

@@davesmith5656 they are all just tools, only a true master that knows his craft and has the propper knowlege can use the computers and control the processes to bring out a metals full potential, or knowing how exactly to temper each piece or batch of metals is key too depending on what you want the metal to be or what you need it to do, all the finest sharpeners wont do you anygood if you dont know what you are doing with it, or have the willingness and fortitude to spend the time on the knife or edge to make it the best it can be, the japanese take even the most mundain thing and make a zen art out of it, or put that much effort into a craft, for most sharpening I venture to say will be good enough for most , but is just the mid point or middle of the task for a sword or master sharpener in the japanese tradition remember its called sword polishing for a reason, and the time stroping and honeing have additional benefits, and the type of edge you put on it, the secondary bevel, all contribute to the performace of the edge like is it convex straight or concave for the edge or hollow if you will, just ask murry carter the only known westerner to be a named master japanese bladesmith and also have the american bladsmith society master certification, at least last I checked, and go ask him about sharpening and how he feels about diamond sharpeners or how he goes about sharpening and polishing cutlery.

Thanks for this video. I didn't realise it, but I bought a 300mm yanagiba made from aogami that had Shotaro Nomura's mark on it, and it also has his little symbol close to the tang, from back in 2015. It was from the Knife Museum in Sakai, so I didn't get to find out who the knife maker and sharpener was, until I watched your video of his mark at 6:45 and his name engraving at 10:43!

There's a lot of conflicting data such as the heat tests done by Australian Knife Grinders (AKG) on a Tormek that would show too much heat when sparks come off a dry wheel, ruining the heat treat. This video here can't show and tell everything in 20 minutes, but I wonder what the heat treat is on those knives, and how holding one on a dry wheel for even a second without water cooling does not heat it up. Maybe the whetstone sharpening whets away any softened steel? Maybe the AKG guys have different steels? Different wheel speeds? They use heat-sensitive paint, and show that it's very easy to exceed tempering temperatures, even if it is "only" the fractions of millimeters at the very apex. Which processes / data are correct??

@@xxxvvv9172 --- Good humor!! "Wow! I bought [one of these], and it's really SHARP!!" So many western world consumers say that. With just a little proficiency, under 200 BESS is easy. It gets a little trickier to get it into the 50 to 80 range. I'm going to toot my own horn here, and anyone can disbelieve: Wusthof is proud of their PE-tek 120 edges; I got mine to test 80. That's after 3 years of whetstones. I'm not 100% sure I know what I did, or can do it again, but I'm getting close. I have no ambitions at all to get into actually even understanding the steel, let alone smelting and forging.

Most Japanese swords are very precise and well made, as well as being strong, hard and very durable. 🔥🔥🔥

That's not just sharpening. He's profiling from a blank he almost certainly forged himself. This man is a knifemaker, an exeptional one.

@TheMrMused

Nomura-san doesn't do his own forging. The blades he sharpens are forged by some of the absolute best in Japan though. Yanaka-san is a frequent collaborator on the forging side. Master/Awarded sharpeners for cutlery include the profiling process in their normal skillset. Not all do it, of course.

Impresionante

I'm surprised he's got all his fingers!

Интересно бы увидеть результат с микрометром. Когда новичку дают точную неведомую фигню - он старается, но не факт что результат будет. Когда неновичок ежедневно делает одну и ту же работу каждый день - у него появляется повторяемый результат на неточной ведомой фигне. Биение страшное, камень тяжёлый, но мастер, кажется, уверен и понимает что делает

It is interesting that all the wheels are rotating opposite from what we do in USA! They rotate up from the bottom and away. Just as Japanese saws are pulled rather than push as we do in the USA, What have they learned in those thousand years of being Master Craftsmen? The large wheels allow the blades to be placed at the top and then you can see underneath far easier. The blades would be easier to control from that position and he uses a backer board to secure them while grinding.. Wonderful video, thanks.😍
