Making Japanese Tanto with Hamon (stock removal)

In this video, we are making a Japanese Tanto out of high carbon steel, W2. We grind the blade to shape and then apply a clay line from satanite furnace refractory, which will form a hamon when quenched. The blade is brought to 1450 °F or above non-magnetic critical temperature. The blade is quenched in a water brine solution which forms a curve in the blade. A habaki is made from a scrap piece of copper and forge closed. A saya is made from oak. The tanto blade is sanded and polished, then etched with lemon juice to bring out the hamon line. We hope you enjoyed the video. Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to see more. Thank you.
