The Forging of a Hunting Knife in Tosa, Japan - 2013-3-7
This is master craftsman Hiro Komatsu. As a child having grown up next to a blacksmith shop he wanted to become one very badly. He apprenticed at the age of 16 under a master craftsman of forestry and hunting tools. He specializes in hunting knives. We were allowed to film him forging a 210mm "sword nata." The links to their guild site are below. Japanese only for now on both the information and buying their products, but we are working to change that. Incredible people. Incredible craftsmanship I feel so honored to have seen this. http://www.tosahamono.or.jp/ http://www.zakuri.com/
