The "seagulls stop it now" rendition I'm the beginning was hilarious

[@otakumagnet8106]

The care he took to make the handle and sheath is a testament of his desire do things correctly. I love it.

[@kaizoebara]

You are using 'correctly' as a rather loose term here, right? XD
I do appreciate the effort that went into the knife as it was called a 'Japanese stye knife'. If it was claimed to be true to the originals, I am sure that Japanese sword afficionados would like to have a word or two about how to correctly do a shirasaya like that.
Just some points that were _incorrect_ if you will:
1) Shirasaya are not glued together permanently; they are meant to come apart when cleaning the inside becomes neccessary.
2) Shirasaya would not be shaped on a beltsander for fear of getting grit into the sheath that might scratch up the finish.
3) Shape and proportions were a bit odd.

Seagulls stop it now, real noice. Love the content and keep up the great work

[@DoRiteFabrication]

Making things that work takes skill. Making things that work look good…that takes
talent. Great video, thanks for sharing!

[@CaptCanuck4444]

Well done!

[@Typhosion]

Love the wood material choice. Very vibrant grain structure.

[@jerryjohnsonii4181]

Awesome work you guys did on making the saber an handles on that Tanto. Beautiful craftsmanship !!!!!!!!

[@richardcranium6554]

Love the build! Loooove the wood chosen. HATE jointers with small, short pieces. Seen too many fingernails trimmed down a knuckle or two.
Table saw and a block plane for this carpenter.

[@otakumagnet8106]

I would enjoy seeing you trying to make a traditional katana using the old methods. I believe it would be a great learning experience.

That wood grain is outstanding - what species of tree did it come from? Beautiful knife produced by all in this collaboration. Well done!

[@robertduguay689]

Beautiful knife, and awesome piece of wood. Question for Chris. When will you be selling grinders again? Heard you were redesigning the older model.

[@grahamparr4710]

[@samuelcoffman392]

What kind of wood is that

[@ZombieWoodturner]

[@michaeldunkin8642]

I think its curly maple, but I am not an expert and may be wrong

[@TheRedhawke]

Maybe Lacewood ?

[@joestknives6006]

nah, I saw the samurai carpenter react on its instagram and he said it was sycamore

[@phredrocks]
