The Ultimate Woodworking Tool Festival: Meet the Blacksmiths in Miki, Japan (三木市 鍛治でっせ) Kaji Desse

In this video, we are in Miki City, Japan attending a massive carpentry tool festival. It has been 4 years since this event was held. The Miki City blacksmiths were there in full force with carpentry tools that I have never seen. Not only carpentry tools, but also kitchen knives, gardening tools, and other hardware. We got the chance to meet some of the biggest blacksmithing names in Miki City during our two days at the festival. I walked away with a lot of cool Japanese hand saws and chisels. I was excited to put the names of the blacksmiths that I have heard about to their faces. There were so many tools there that we have never seen before. Big chisels, little chisels, offset chisels, gingko shaped chisels, planes of different shapes and sizes. We hope you enjoy this video and get the chance to come to Miki City, Japan for the next Kaji Desse. There is an even bigger festival that happens in November of every year so it would be worth it to check it out then. #japanesewoodworking #carpentrylife #handtools #woodworking
