Here is a preview:
For the cost of a 300$ low end sword, I bet you could make your own.

just those few minutes were educational.
Was it just me or did it seem like the tatami cut they showed was far from clean? Being a Euro-sword lover I'm not the best at analyzing Tameshigiri. (Did I even spell it right?)

Is it normal to put the blade in on a flat side when hardening? I would have thought it would be more even going in from the ha or mune side first? Or is it that quick it doesn't matter, sorry for the stupid question, but in my line of work milliseconds matter, so I treat most things in that timeframe.

WHen he is heat treating in the video, he puts the blade in edge up first, then at the last few seconds he puts edge down, the edge being a bit hotter makes for some nice effects with the hamon.

In the start section where it shows the blade in the fire look close when it get's towards the habaki area, it's a bit of an optical illusion that makes it look like it's on it's side.

Had a closer look at it goes in edge first and comes out edge first so there must be some editing in there  Thanks for making me look at it again, that makes more sense logically to me now Also a +1 for the link, love informative stuff like this (even if it is non-traditional)! |

The preview is indeed that, just a preview, you should see the amount of info that is in the whole movie, even if you never intend to touch a file to steel or steel to a belt grinder it is worth watching to gain a better understanding of swords,and on the road to being a better buyer.
I think maybe this summer if I get some free time I will take it on as a challenge to take Wally's video, and a budget of 300$ and under as per this forum's main mission and attempt to craft a hand made sword, to prove it can be done.

While I am not generally very fond of stock removal (it feels like a terrible waste of iron), he appears to do pretty good work.
