Description: Ilya forges a traditional Japanese Tanto from tamahagane. Not only does he forge the nihonto tanto , but he also offers a brief history lesson of what was going on in japan during WW2. Speaking of WW2 be sure to check out Kards who sponsored this video : kards.com/signup and is available for free on Steam. This Documentary style video is a lot like the forging of Tanjiro's Katana, but we used a different construction method for this tanto and the historical talk that goes along with the build is much much different. Ilya has put a lot into not only researching how to forge a nihonto tanto, but into the lecture on some historical aspects of Japan that goes along with it.
