  1. Работал в городе Тотори и там в супермаркете была выставка продажа ножей ручной работы.
    Так же мне попадался магазин ножей ручной работы.
    Вы молодцы что сохраняете эту кузницу.
    Большое вам спасибо.

  2. 最初から最後まで丁寧な仕事ですね。うちの地元新潟にも包丁鍛冶に砥ぎ職人いますが良い包丁は半永久的に使えます。出刃や菜切り包丁なんて3代は持ちますよ。

  3. Being a blacksmith in general anywhere you face serious financial hardship if you only do ok.

  4. Paul Martin took photos of a smithy in Miyazaki-ken and lamented how they are dying out in Japan and for this particular one there was no one to take over.

  5. So the grandad started in 1951 and the dad started 1981. Just checked the prices for one of the knives on the JFC store, and wow not what I thought, I had assumed it would be 3 or 4 times that price, I might just treat myself.

  6. Just picked up one. Have to support these guys and the quality of their work and the pride they take in doing a good job! ❤

  7. May I know what kind of steel are they using for their knives! Thank you! Is it a blue steel or white steel?

  8. It's just amazing to watch such a skillful trade, especially this granpa is 89 years old and still going strong and passing on the skills to his grandson.THis was a lotta fun to watch. THanks

  9. 私は祖父の子孫であり、今でも武士の家系です。私の祖父は生きていた頃、浪人していました。日本の工芸の伝統が今も残っていることをとても誇りに思います。特にナイフを作る技術。この伝統は維持され、維持され、尊重されなければなりません。それはすべて先祖から受け継がれているものだから

  10. What great skills how important it is we pass them on too, but the youth no longer want to work they just seem to think collage degrees are their meal ticket. Great to see second and third generations carrying on these skills

  11. Ho 2 santoku Minomo,uno molto vecchio ed uno comprato di recente ,sono coltelli fantastici, veramente fantastici. Grazie per il video

  12. It's great to see a video for the little thought of tools of the food craftsman! ^_^

  13. 今どき利器材(鋼と地金が初めから成形されている鋼材)を使わず、割り込みで作っているのは貴重な鍛冶屋さんですね!

  14. I would like to sincerely thank you for making and sharing this video. I'm a student of Japanese studies. I study Japanese history and philosophy. Particularly focusing on Japanese way of life (culture in anthropological sense). And I have been very interested in Japanese family structure ("Ie" in Japanese). And this blacksmith family and especially how the grandson explains what and how he thinks about his family and his ancestors really helps me to understand how this valuable "Ie" family structure underpins the core strength of Japanese society. This is something that the Western people and especially the Left will never understand with their destructive ideology they that call "progressive"

  15. As a hobbyist knife make here in the UK that was amazing to watch, both the family aspect and the skill from these men. Loved watching every minute.

  16. 誠実に作られた鍛造の刃物は同じ鋼材を使用している量産品とは全く別次元の代物です、いわんやステンレスおやおや。
    私は義母出身地東北の鍛冶屋さん(跡継ぎがいらっしゃらずもう入手出来ないそうです)の包丁で思い知りました。
    刃保ちがよく研ぎやすい、鋼の包丁は一生ものです。残念ながら一生分+α買い込み済みなので買い足せないのが悲しい・・・。

  17. I can relate to this story. Beautiful craftsmanship. I'm a wood carver and it can be discouraging to make something beautiful and have a hard time selling it. To have the history that they have, it must be a profound sense of pride.

  18. I hope there are more available to order soon. I would love to share this with my family.

  19. Craftsmanship is still alive and surprisingly modestly priced. Not sure how to order though.
    Thank you for showing this business to the world.

  20. Привет из России. Очень хорошие люди уважающие свой труд и свою семью. Слушал вас используя переводчик. Очень понравилась ваше производство и ваша речь про работу, жизнь и семью. Это очень круто, желаю процветания вашей кузнице.
