Don't think I would have the patience.

Great video. The skill and confidence that goes into that is mind blowing.

I like his straightening jigs (around 5:12). Simple and effective.

This is one of Sasaki sensei’s students from the wonderful doc “In Love with the Samurai Sword”: https://youtu.be/i5f7HI05mCU?feature=shared

 

He seemed like a very kind, earnest fellow. Glad to see he’s still at it!

First time I've seen the burnishing process of the shinogi-ji using a hard steel rod. Now the polishing lines at the machi make total sense. 

 

Kudos to Akita san for demonstrating his technical approach of the different steps and in closeup detail.

[The Forest Ninja]

I really like this person's YouTube channel for polishing.
