@@emiami458well this is! There is a reason that even in western sword the steel is folded. People think it was only the Japanese but no all blades weapons were. This is ornamental so is the literal definition of useless.
@@razerow3391Steel isn’t always folded and ornaments are for decoration, they’re not useless. Regardless, this is still an edged weapon that could be used as if it were intended to be used as a weapon.
@@cheriekarley2479 It is necessary, actually. Imagine if there were no standard, proper spellings and everyone just spelled it as they pronounced it. Good luck discerning between the different dialects and accents, much more peoples own interpretation of how letters sound together.
@@badideagenerator2315 Incorrect. English has always had grammatical rules; just because the general populous was not consistently educated enough to maintain that standard doesn’t mean it didn’t exist.
I just want to appreciate the fact that he didn't just cut out a rough shape and sand it like some Neanderthal but he actually went through the full process of properly forging a kunai. Very few on RU-vid do so so it's always nice to see
I’m about to start my forging journey and I’m super excited. I got my anvil and hammers now need to work on the furnace or way to heat up the metals and metal itself lol
Bloody gorgeous work, I have very limited experience with metalworking and zero with forging but I have enough to know that you make it look easy cos you know what you’re doing
You are the best blacksmith I know in my life and in the world too. You are really talented. I hope you teach me your profession. I hope to be your student.💪💪💪💪
Hey can I just ask what you use to get a mirror finish on some of your pieces? I’m trying to get into blacksmithing and Im trying to get a mirror finish on something but I can’t quite get it right. What grits of sandpapers do you use if you don’t mind me asking?
Not sure if this is what he does but good ol Google said the following "It just takes a lot of effort. First do the repair and get it as smooth as possible then start sanding - coarse to fine - eventually to 1000, 2000, 4000 grit, then you go to polishing compounds like “Semi-Chrome” or some such metal polish. It will take a while, but you can get a mirror finish eventually."
There are a few things that must be done to get to a mirror finish or to near-mirror finish. There are multiple ways to say this but nearly all are synonymous: the final step abrasive must be very fine, also said as to have a high grit number, or the compound particulate must be very small Second trick is to work your way up the steps through the different grades towards your final finish and to not skip any of the grades to try and save time. By working through most of the grades by increasing the grit no more than doubling the e grit number with each grit may sound like it takes more time but actually saves it
I've heard people say they wouldn't want to live forever because it would be boring but look at all the cool stuff you could learn if you had enough time.
Shouldn't the handle be elliptical with a textured grip, so that it doesn't roll in your hand when you're trying to align the edge? Or is that not important for a kunai?
@austinnapps7272 I prefer it as a spear... A thrown weapon is easier to throw when the weight is shifted more towards the front of the blade... but who's to say as I haven't seen it balanced or thrown.
