What's that white powder he keeps sprinkling on the metal?

I love this old men ;;

[BeanyHarnell]

My respects to such an art and heritage. I hope these traditions endure.

To the people of Japan this is an art, handed down for generations, this is not a wealth creation, but pride in your work, to see the finished product is a breath taking experience, and yes the master is bringing along his apprentice (who has only been doing this for 10-15 years) and still an apprentice we in north America could use more of this, in our use and throw away society Rob From Canada

if i owned a blacksmith, i would pay this guy what he deserves and a little bonus give him the perfect working area aswell.

@honyaki68 Read what I said, I said if a knife was priced at 1000+ it would most likely be honyaki.....wow....no prices for honyaki do not start at 2000

[honyaki68]

@fowad27

They do make knives and swords out of hagane, its called Honyaki and price starts at around $2000usd for knife

[honyaki68]

@TheChefTonio

No, it would be a hon-kasumi or hongasumi method (aogami or shirogami core carbon blade with jigane outer). Honyaki is traditionally made from single steel (shirogami) and price starts at around $2000 USD

@MDCeasar His own brand, these are Doi Knives. I have only been able to find Kiritsuke and Yaganiba by this Meister.

The price range for Kitsuke is 329 to around 359. For yaganiba it is 399 - 429. $1,000.00 for a knife? It would most likely be made in the Honyaki method.

This shop is in Sakai city, Japan. You can also look up Sakai Takayuki. This brand of knife has been around for 600+ years. I would go with Mr. Doi as he has been making knives for the better of 60 years now.

These hand made knives by Meister Doi are made from Japanese White 2 Steel. The Yanagiba range from 399 to 429 dollars depending on the length you get.

@fowad27 The knife would be brittle, the soft metal jacket is there to absorb shock. However, the type of metal; hardness, softness etc. Doesn't really matter as much so long as the blacksmith is a true master. Such as Meister Doi. I will be buying the Yanagiba in a short while here to see how they perform.
