Japanese Natural Stones. com Japan trip 2014 to Shigefusa Family
Ones again i was confirmed how rare and how unique Shigefusa knives is. Shigefusa knives is forged and shaped with traditional tools as Sen and stones by older and younger sons. Then sharpened and expected by Father, With Natural and Synthetick stones.
They take very good time on every single knife they make.
I hope you guys enjoy as much as i do
And i am now even more proud of selling and owning Shigefusa knives.
To see how much work go in to every single knife is Amazing.
With so much work for single knife, Shigefusa knives is a huge deal !!
I watch a lot of YT and Smithing shows and i never seen this method before. Very impressed
the last part of chiselling kanji characters Shigefusa into the metal blade was superb
The dedication, perfectionism and passion of the Japanese craftsman amazes me.
It is refreshing to see traditional, old world quality craftsmanship like this in a world that has gotten itself in too much of a hurry.
We can only hope that there are young people apprenticing under these masters to take up the craft when they're gone.
The respect for the blade is amazing. The detail for the blade is what make an knife that can out live you.
G Pischner it can outlive generations it's forged just like a Katana. It's a beautiful thing to see. Pega all rave about German knives zwilling and so on wich are just sheets of metal cut and sharpened by a robot with no hammering at all. Hammering changes the microstricture of the blade, makes it more dense, harder and can take sharper edges I bought a documentary showing the history and making of these knives it has 2 parts fortes it covers all the parts of the process part two it's. Only the making of a knife. If you interested let me know I can send the link on my Google Drive so you can watch it. It's. Wonderfull
Euclides Netto That would be great I would love to see it.
Here you go
Part 1

Part 2
drive.google.com/file/d/0BxsWadyTqGSrdW5IdHp4bVBLQ2c/view?usp=drivesdk
Part 2 it's called the making of a knife I suggest watching in order. Understand the part 1 first then go to the more technical stuff on the second. 45 min on the first, 3l25 on the second
After watching leave you comments here I sell knives here in Brazil, import from Japan been there a couple time got to meet the blacksmiths personally it's just incredible work. TAKEDA, KONOSUKE, MASAKAGE, TAKAMURA AND OTHER I'm a restaurant owner and I have a great deal of knowledge on Japanese blades feel free to ask any question love to share information about these.
Habe fun
this is so beautifull... Japanese art of swordmaking, and knifemaking is so mystical... I can watch this for many many hours....
Same
Thanks for sharing. I am in awe of these men! You never see that kind of devotion to a craft anyone. I found the part when they were all working together very touching. For such a simple tool that knife was beautiful.
scott jenkins it's awesome thousands of years of skills passing by families I bought a documentary that shows the history of the blades how they are made, I can share if you want its on my cloud just contact me, it has 2 parts.
Japanese are very devoted and disciplined people I've always admired them for that
I'd be honored just to be there watching these dudes work.
The final engraving is amazing.
Wow, that's my 360 mm Kitaeji Takohiki at the 10:53 mark! The markings in the cladding near the kanji match exactly...very cool! Thank you Maksim
Luis Morales support from Marquis
Such precision I could only dream to have one of his knives and such a humble man unbelievable just amazing
Am crying, ...nice music!
Incredible, so mesmerizing!
Beautiful
Incredible old world craftsmanship!
Thank you for this great video. I'm so glad to see how my Shigefusa knife is made by these great people.
The carved characters are so beautiful， powerful!
And made with a simple straight chisel! At 15:37 one can admire the flawless execution, the proud seal of a master craftsman.
i love japanese culture!!!!!
Fantastic insight into one of the most revered knifemakers in Japan. Hard work for sure!
Phantastische Arbeit. Vielen Dank
Wow, very nicely recorded Maksim, and love to see the skills from the Shigefusa family! Thanks for sharing.
the charm of manual tools in the hands of absolute wisdom give an extraordinary result
Love your video
Huge respect
they keep working with traditional method, ammazing
Um trabalho fantástico muito lindo digno de se v e muitas vezes encanta mesmo não pode do comprar uma ferramenta desta qualidade devemos espor nosso encanto parabéns
Scraping and peeling high carbon steel is awesome. These are custom built tools. Seeing this here is an experience itself.
Hello, you do not accidentally know what the name of the tool is used to produce the rough processing of the blade, thank you for the answer earlier.
What an amazing video maksim! I need to show this video to people that wonder why I spend so much money on knives. Can't wait to see the new stuff that shows up from this trip :).
mľ
It's nice to see old traditions being passed on I think we lack that here in the us !
Chas Waldron you all lack a lot of things in the U.S of A especially now that you all have Trump 😝😂😂 lol 😆
amazing video! amazing craftsmanship.
Dedicated to perfection, amazing!
I'm sorry, but is the father wearing a blue velour tracksuit?!?!
If so, that is amazing.
Shigefusa is already awesome to begin with. Props to them for keeping it real.
Evan Atwell haha no, it's the tarp to collect all the shavings from the knife
I wish I have the knowledge and skills to make this work of art
Superbe vidéo!!!
Oh, wow. They draw-scrape the blades for the initial beveling? That takes so much skill.
Mind blowing!
It is simply admirable, that's an admirable work of art, congratulations,the Japanese culture is incredible, I am speechless!
So nostalgic
god bless japan.
Now that's craftsmanship right there! I have a few questions though. As a novice blacksmith i want to find a way to infuse chromium carbide into my blades, at 0:45 i see the borax but i also see some grey mixture in it and i don't think that's just old dirty borax since it's acting weird at 0:52, is this some kind of chromium carbide infusion together with borax or I'm mistaking?
Also, that scrape technique is just amazing, I have never in my life seen such a technique and it got me thinking, one day i might forge myself one of these scrapers.
And about the man at the end.... doing such precision work in his golden years... this is beyond impressive, i salute him.
Great video, thanks for the upload, I've learnt a lot from reading and videos such as this one since i don't know any blacksmith where I'm from and I'm pretty much self taught, anyway, thanks again for the amazing video, and if you can provide an answer for my question i will be most grateful.
+Roadzery Check out the book Bladesmithing with Murray Carter. The flux mix is borax, boric acid and iron filings.
i wonder with all the commercially available stuff out there, how good of a living craftsman like these really make? really inspiring to watch this...
+Warren Buitendag A very good question. These kitchen knives are
more like a work of art than a working utensil. I wonder if all this work
(and cost) is justified for kitchen knives.
Perhaps they would be better off producing swords, museum reproductions
and custom knives for collectors and hunters. Swords can cost up to $20,000, knives to $5,000.
Thank you
That is so amazing, what quality!
おめでとうございます、美しい作品のために、
Want to see his gyuto performing in experienced chefs hands
Imparessionante..eu adoro a cultura japonesa...☺☺☺
amazing video!
Wish I could get one
Masters true masters
Fantastic Max!!!
i just saw the red aoto and was like the hell what is gooing on here guys, things are real ! nice
Wow Maxim. Such a great video. Now I want Shigefusa even more. I hope that you will have loads of them on gathering:D
Padre e hijos trabajando unidos ¿puede haber una fuerza mayor? Benditos por siempre!
That looks so amaizing when you can get flakes off of a metal like that, looks like wood
They shave the knife!!.. amazing
厉害👍
Muito bom verdadeiros mestres!!!!! parabens!!!!
Parabéns felicidades
Магия приятно глазу. Умеют же люди. Уважаю
Ta praca natchniona jest przez Ducha ....!
Handplaining tool for shaving and shaping knife steel is very impressive
Aleksandr Goldyrev it's basically a spokeshave, but with an insanely hard blade. Way harder than any normal knife, as in a normal knife it'd shatter. They are almost always made with differential heat treating, giving a soft body, with a insanely hard edge
Aleksandr Goldyr
Aleksandr Goldyrev I've never seen anything like it really. At least on that scale.
Halooo
It's a knife. For cutting knives. :D
An art
+Maksim Enevoldsen (JNS) what is he doing 0:55 to 1:05?is this lamination ?glueing steel to steel?
+Stefan Stamatov Yes, Japanese knives are almost always made by sandwiching a layer of carbon steel between 2 layers of soft-but-tough mild steel. When it is ground, only the carbon steel will be exposed at the edge.
Awesome video!
Really like how the Shigefusa craftsmen use the disc blade to grind the knife by hand at 3:45. Shig knives have such a unique and complex grind along with great FF.
6:53 is that a JNS RED Aoto Matukusuyama? I was very tempted to purchase the red auto but it went out of stock
Those ancient synthetic rubber anti-slip kitchen mats are very authentic and rare indeed :-|
..sorry, just mucking around..thumb firmly up.
Bien
Where is the quenching part???
Q hermosoooo 😲👍
What is the grey powder they put on the glowing steel and what is its function?
This the best vidabout Japanes knives I've seen on the Tube! And it's the first video where I can see the Sen in use: if you have more about it please show it!
Btw: what kind of stone are they using at 11:40?
This sounds like something an alien would say to blend.
Congratulations on the beautiful work. It's a real art.
Could someone tell me which product is the one that the boy puts between one steel blade and another? thankful
Marcos Caetano + It’s typically flux, usually borax.
匠人精神！！
nice
Бесподобно!
Il est gaucher ou droitier ? Pas compris. Mais superbe travail.
amazing ideo,thanks for sharing it
Πολυ ομορφα μαχαιρια.Ειμαι απο Ελλάδα και θα ήθελα να μου στείλετε ενα μαχαιρι του σεφ δωρεαν.
the powder they're use for combining the steel,what is it called?
Flux
Because they do not nióbium in these knives??
SUGOI
More impressive than swords forged in Mount Doom.
This defines “hand made”.
wow steve chao
okay he welded a different metal to the other piece of stock but didnt see the part where he folds it. Isnt that method normally done so the different metal is in the center of the piece?
that method is for katanas, which need shock resistance and flexibility. by not having the other cladding you able to make the cooking knife much thinner
@@ezraalcantra543 dunno the high end cooking knives Ive seen bend and can flex just like a katana but have a very hard surface but wont snap/crack why I asked.
美しい包丁
what did you say.....
👍👍👍
สุดยอดครับอยากไปตีมีดด้วยจังครับ
สวัสดีครับ ดีใจที่ได้เจอคนไทยในคลิปนี้ครับ😄😄😄
where is the hardening that creates the Hamon?
There's very little that's traditional about this. The techniques employed are predominantly Japanese but even those have a mix of modern in them.
I'm not saying anything about the craftsmen in the video or their craftsmanship because they are still masters at what they do and their pieces perfectly reflect their skill and experience superbly, what I'm pointing out is the over exaggeration of the people who made the original video text.
How do they make much of a living. The process is amazingly time consuming. Is it a point of pride.
They struggled after the introduction of stamped knives but kept going and then when the international market found out about Japanese knives their work became valued and they had a bigger market, they were getting old and not getting apprentices 30/ 40 years ago but now they are acclaimed internationally, can charge a lot of money and are training new knifemakers, who in turn are becoming famed and respected. Yu Kurosaki, for example, apprenticed with legendary knifemaker Kato San for 15 years, he then went and apprenticed with ' living treasure of Japan' Anryu San for a further 8 years so 23 years of apprenticeship during which he set up, (with his master's permission), his own brand and forge where he too has gone on to international fame and fortune.
Semplicemente pazzesco
If you grind on only one end of that stone, dont you ruin it? You have to plane it?
+MrPainfulTruth if you have enough skill, you can simply grind carefully on the other parts of the stone and wear it down, overall, so you don't need to flatten it as much when you finally get around to it.
+Thabiet
that is a really confrontational comment for someone who was merely asking a question to better understand the methods being shown. Please calm down.
Thabiet U mad bro?
If you notice, he carefully looks at the stone. No doubt to see which way it is biased from the last bit of grinding. I have seen many such sharpening/polishing masters flip the stone around between knives so as to wear the stone evenly.
is it also created with tamahagane?
Rm Ramadhan Tamahagne is steel extracted from their rich high carbon sand, most of Japanese blades use high carbon steel blades like blue and white #1 and Aogami super etc... There are lots of better steels today probably that's what they are using. Very little manufactures make knives with Tamahagne just for traditional purposes.
Rispect......
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🙏!
4:20 - ручной гриндер! :D :D :D
