I, too, am a swordsmith, and I commend your work. Beautiful. At first, I did not see you had a power hammer and I was feeling sorry for you. I use a press, but still. I am only learning to make my own orishigane. You are also accomplished at polishing. From all appearances, you are an artist and craftsman. Thanks for sharing your work and keeping this tradition alive. I personally focus on Chinese and European and Eurasian (daos, seaxs, kindjals, sabers). great video.
One of the best sword blades I have ever seen

DiCristofano must've trained under a Japanese swordsmith in order to learn his trade... and that takes at least 10 years from what I've heard!

from one sword smith to another very nice. I love seeing other smiths with a passion for the old ways.

Lovely. Nice to see traditional blades being made. Look up Reclaiming The Blade. Looks like a beautiful movie on the general history of the sword.
