    Holy shit that actually is a traditional design. I’m impressed, most would use the aggressive piercing tip, but I’m glad the other types of tanto get some love occasionally

      Thank you so much! We are really passionate about bringing traditional designs to light with a little bit of a modern twist, especially those beyond the well-known styles. We are always learning and curious. Do you have any favorite styles of tanto or other Japanese swords? We are considering making a Wakizashi next.

    Cómo es posible hacer un damasco si no lo has forjado? Simplemente te has limitado a cortar y dar forma al acero. Por otra parte, llamar Tanto a esa hoja me parece algo atrevido, ya que el Tanto tiene la punta de la hoja terminada de otra forma.

    • @Nidavellir.bladesmiths
      @Nidavellir.bladesmiths  6 місяців тому +1

      Gracias por su comentario. Quiero aclarar que en realidad fabricamos nuestro acero damasco antes de comenzar a crear cuchillos en serie. Este proceso no se muestra en el video al que se refiere porque es un paso preliminar separado. Sin embargo, puede ver todo el proceso en nuestro video "Lady Chef", donde demostramos cómo preparamos las placas de damasco específicamente para cada cuchillo, ya que no fabricamos placas de damasco de antemano para cuchillos integrales.
      En cuanto a la forma de la hoja Tanto, entiendo su punto. Sin embargo, si echa un vistazo a la página de Wikipedia para Tanto en inglés, encontrará que hay varios tipos de formas Tanto. La que aparece en nuestro video se llama "Kanmuri-otoshi". Esta variación puede diferir de las formas de Tanto más conocidas, pero de hecho es un estilo reconocido dentro del amplio espectro de diseños de hojas Tanto.
      De nuevo, gracias por su interés y su comentario. Agradecemos la oportunidad de discutir y aclarar nuestro proceso y los diseños con los que elegimos trabajar.

    Welchen Sinn macht Kupfer in einem Lagenmesser? Als Schmied sehe ich da nur Nachteile. Oder wird das ein Vitrinentanto?

    • @Nidavellir.bladesmiths
      @Nidavellir.bladesmiths  6 місяців тому +2

      Der Hauptgrund für die Verwendung von Kupfer in einem Lagenmesser ist die Ästhetik, die seine visuelle Anziehungskraft erhöht. Trotz der funktionalen Nachteile von Kupfer, wie geringere Härte im Vergleich zu Stahl, sollte das Messer bei normaler Nutzung angemessen funktionieren, da es nicht für extreme Situationen vorgesehen ist.

    No doubt very skillful work.............But it's absolutely not Damascus it's forge welded, Many knife smiths always like to pass off forge welded as true real authentic Damascus.

    • @Nidavellir.bladesmiths
      @Nidavellir.bladesmiths  6 місяців тому +6

      Thank you for your insightful comment and for appreciating the craftsmanship involved in our work. You're absolutely right; our steel isn't Damascus in the traditional sense of being made from wootz, as the ancient technique and specific materials used in true Damascus steel are distinct from our modern processes. We use the term "Damascus" in line with its widespread contemporary usage, which commonly refers to any steel with a visually patterned blade. This terminology has become a shorthand understood by the public and enthusiasts alike, although we're fully aware that the more accurate term for our work is "pattern welded steel."

    • @grimmner
      @grimmner 6 місяців тому +8

      Seriously?
      Anyone that knows the slightest about forging and the history of sword and knifemaking know what true damascus is so your insight here is news to noone interesting in knifemaking i would say.
      Second its well established that the term damascus is used to describe forgewelded Steel and noone in their right mind would believe that a Smith today claims to use the historic damascus when they say they are doing a damascus blade.
      But If this is a poi t you think you need to raise well congrats then you have many youtube videos to comment on.

      Really dude; did you get a fact of the day calendar or something?
      His layered forging process yields what is known as pattern-welded Damascus, and it is the type of Damascus made today.
      What you alluding to, known as wootz steel, was made centuries ago, and the formula for which has been lost to history.
