Making a Tanto - Habaki
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- Hey everyone! Follow along as I make this habaki for a new Tanto that I am working on. To do this I am forging a piece of copper out and wrapping it around the blade and then soldering it together. This is a traditional piece of hardware you will find on ancient Japanese swords and knives and while my knife is not perfectly traditional, I think it pays homage to the blades of history and the Japanese heritage.

Super clean. I'm actually happy that you shortened it, I think it looks better that way.
Thanks! I thought so too
Man that is sooo cool you implemented to God alone be the glory, in Japanese. I’ve always wanted to implement scripture into my blades. Amazing work as always Curtis!
Thanks so much! I like to sneak it in where I can!
Dude! You got skills brother! Great work!
Thanks!
I just watched the collaberation video with Wasnac. In it , toward the end you reference B grinds and S grinds by a guy (don't remember his name) but I have watched several of his videos using these knives on vegetables and they are quite impressive. He has no videos on how he creates these grinds and I am wondering if you have followed up on how he does them. I am very curious and would love to try doing it. Where should I start? Thanks, Wallace
@@wallacehammond4825 hey man! Thanks for this comment. So I recently did an s grind and I didn’t quite get the geometry right and the veggies still stuck a tiny bit. So I plan on doing more of that and figuring it out. I will make a video about it some time
great
Very nice! How thick of a piece of copper did you start with?
I think it was 1/4” or more
Yes!! Thank you for the video, ive been searching for good info on this !
Glad it was helpful!
How dare you make it look this easy 😅 fantastic work as always Curt.
🤣 It didn’t feel easy. Thanks so much!

Freaking nice! First video I watched and I liked it. Excellent work on the habaki, and looking forward to the tsuba video! Gonna watch the rest of your videos. Thank you for sharing this wonderful video. I'm subscribing and may you and your loved ones have a blessed day ☺
Thanks for joining! I am glad you got something from the vid!
@CurtisHaaland I'm a fellow bladesmith also. Just started a year and a half ago...I still have so much to learn. The only Japanese things I do are hamons 😆 I look forward to learning more about Japanese swords.
Excellent! Not over worked yet elegantly clean
That book looks like a good read, thank you for the video 🙏🏼
My pleasure!
I dig this.
Me too 😁
That's a nice habaki!!
Thanks!!
Very interesting!!
Right!?!? So cool
@@CurtisHaaland do you have any book recommendations that are similar but for japanese knives?
@@meltingmarker2753 most of the books I’ve found are specific to the sword. But this one is not just swords. They talk about tantos as well
@@CurtisHaaland I've been looking for resources about all the different japanese chef/kitchen knives. Seems like a whole different world
Soli Deo Gloria!
