This guy is a beast!

[Ebrainiac1]

Aldous Huxley had an eerily correct image of the future in the book Brave New World, where he predicted that the things we love would ruin us. Mottos like "ending is better than mending" and the need for "right here right now" are toxic ideologically.

[ermalkoci]

@Ebrainiac1 What the fuck are you talking about? What does this have to do with this video???

[Ebrainiac1]

@ermalkoci

It was an appreciation of handcrafted objects that are made to last. I guess It was more a musing to myself than a comment, although there are several others in the comments section. Gregspot00's comment, for example.

[wordreet]

Great to watch a craftsman at work.

I hope there will always be a demand for true hand made items like this.

[Justincasey2]

The secret compound is Chuck Norris's dandruff.

[greyspot00]

Too bad there is less and less of this sort of craftsmanship. When the older generation passes away, all of the techniques and age-old secrets to hand-making things will be gone, replaced by disposable, mold-pressed toys. There is something special about antiques, and I think it is the same as in the knives made by these people. Everything "back in the day" was made to last forever, and had love and sweat in every part. Everything today is throwaway, not unique among the millions of duplicates.

[TheEviIOyo]

@greyspot00 nah they still hand craft them in studios, young guys, like sukimitsu's and some korin blades.

[Saku19]

Now, THAT is what I call art....

[benkerr69]

so I'm going to take it that it would be a sin for me to use my own wet stone on this lol

[doberman74]

age old craftsmanship... if i could afford one i would use nothing else

[vjanda1]

what is the secret compound you yellow fiend!?

[MrJJ2K]

@vjanda1 Cant tell white boy.

[rushymoto]

Secret compound my arse. I expect it came form the volcano up the road.

[rushymoto]

If that stone let go he would know about it. Breathing in all that silicone dust as well, not good for the lungs.

[MrJJ2K]

@rushymoto These is no dust, its a water wheel.

[Magabury]

That is amazing.

[juliannevillecorrea]

[xxIceWaLLxx]

My back hurts just watching him

[daw162]

2 people like stamped knives made in china and sold at US department stores with western european brands on them.

[g0dbel0w]

@daw162 Seriously, shut up with this shit. Give it a rest.

[daw162]

@g0dbel0w Internet tough guy, calling shots from the keyboard. Ooh.....What's your problem, anyway? Mom kicking you out of the house and making you grow up?

[g0dbel0w]

@daw162 Because it's the equivalent of every jackass saying FIRST for every new video/article/whatever. Talk about growing up.

[mrkackerwacker]

It looks like he's making a microbevel on the final stone.

[19755098]

JAPANESE cooking knife japanese say｢HOU-CHOU｣ understand?

[cdoftx]

Not as sharp as my Ginsu knives

[warmachine1770]

Awesome,hopefully these techniques wont be lost.

[EToastE]

1000 is the coarse stone... Lol. So is the fine one like 10,000?

[residentevil926]

@EToastE I use a 88 girt stone as my coarse Oil stone and a 1200 on the back of it.

[residentevil926]

@residentevil926  I use a 800 and a 1200 Oil Stone.

[AWS137]

@EToastE

30k actually.

[Pedro76mchlkg]

I liked the test on his own hair:)cool

[aka134life]

I wonder how many times he has cut his hands.

[SittingMooseShaman]

...now why would 1 viewer disapprove? I must muse over this...

[aka134life]

@SittingMooseShaman They tried this with their knife, and its now a butter knife :p

[you701]

extreme amount of skill and craftsmanship. Mr Nomura is one of the most skilled artists i have ever seen.

[davidplatenkamp]

Wow, the first "coarse" stone he used for hand finishing was a 1000 grit.

[justyoustupid]

screw hollow ground blades

[omgaud]

OSHA would have a field day on that shaprening machine:>)

[sarelle500gr]

he uses naniwa :)

[kalevraa]

hey, i was apprenticed in sakai! long, long hours in front of the wheel...

[UncensoredX]

@kalevraa What kind of stone is it (the weel)

[kalevraa]

@UncensoredX it's a 3-foot diameter artificial stone, either cement-bond or resin bond, most likely 80 grit or 120 grit.

[drSpirt]

если б я так прихватил кожу своим ножом, как этот мастер в конце, вот потеха была бы))

[eddymstewart]
