After really watching the video, I can honestly say that I do like the new format. I like the fact that you get a true sense of the feeling and vibe of traveling through Japan and visiting these amazing artisans, because unfortunately I do get the feeling that the true knife maker is a disappearing kind. I would love to see more content of the history of the different makers, their future goals and maybe even a run down of the makers and sharpeners to watch moving forward. The ones trailblazing into new directions, but most definitely also the ones that want to stay true to the old school tradition.

Long time. Welcome back. I watched your past videos a lot these days as I’m trying to learn sharpening myself. Very useful. Not sure if someone already replied. Regarding what he said starting around 23:20, I don’t have enough context so take it with a grain of salt. The translator asked him if the steel is hard. Hiroura said it’s not hard at all. If it’s hard, when hammered it’ll sound like bang bang bang. It’ll get hardened once it’s cooled down though. He went on to say that to harden the steel he first needs to melt it, and normally people heat it to around 1200C but this steel won’t flatten at all even at that temperature.

Ive seen many of your videos even before burrfection was made. Before slowly fading out you made a lot of very long content and i got too busy to catch up with everything. I Chose some of my stones thanks to your help, although i rarely use them because im too lazy/busy to soak them or clean up. Belt grinder, travel sized diamond stone and strop are enough most of the time. I really enjoyed your last tour video, it was nicely edited and showed the most interesting parts and the passion of the people there. It comes to my mind every once in a while. This format is not as sleek as an edited "documentary" with music and all but its the easiest for you to make as you dont need to spend countless hours editing and still delivers all the content in an enjoyable way. I am all for it. These days translations and AI are pretty fast and powerful, it would be great to just record them talking in japanese and translate it with subtitles later. Perhaps you can see the subtitles on air with us for the first time and we can enjoy your surprise on some of what was said too!

Great to see you back Riki - Hope you do many more of these Japanese visit videos! I like the long format & that it shows you just as you are rather than over-edited. That was a feature of your earlier videos - a very authentic Riki with all his perfect imperfections. Sure - it's a little rough, but that will improve as you do more of them & figure out what to include & what to leave out. You definitely need to do something about the translator - both so you get more out of your visits, and so you have more to share with us. I wonder whether some kind of translation software might help, either on your phone or on your computer afterwards. I'm surprised what a good job Google Translate does with Japanese text, but I'm not sure if that applies to spoken Japanese. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see you again soon! - Tom

Good to see you back. With the longer form video, there is a much more nuanced and intimate subject. You don't need to edit out so many bits and pieces in order to make a fit - essentially what you are saying in the dialogue. On the subject of every day prices, I was flabbergasted at how cheap things were. I'd have lunch with a beer or two for under ten dollars. As for the knives, that steel bamboo handle is abso-bloody-lutely beautiful. Good job and thanks.

Welcome back Ryky! I pretty much enjoy all of your formats 🤷🏽♂️ I did really enjoy this one though, because it was so informative and interesting. Of course there’s a time for short form stuff, but there’s no way to convey this much of the experience and info. It would be DIFFICULT to become fluent enough to not need a translator, but the more you know, the better chance you’ll have of picking out bits and pieces as they’re speaking. I’m guessing you just hire a translator there? Maybe you will find one that you like better and can work more exclusively with them when you travel. Another thought is to just ask them to translate in paragraphs/sentences/thoughts. Oh, and here’s a HUGE THOUGHT … have a translator app running on your phone the whole time so you can read whatever it can pick up!!! I’m sure you want to focus on the speaker, and culturally it may be considered rude to not look at them while they speak, but if you have to wait for your human translator to tell you what was said, you’re essentially just standing there for minutes looking at them without comprehending. Are you still up here in NoCal? If so, let me know if you’d like some help getting set up in your new place!

23:20 rough translation, I wish my wife was here but she's on a trip. Q:How hard is it? A: It's not that it's hard, with heat it will get hard. but no matter if I hit it over and over, look I can hit hard enough that it turns red hot and hit it 10000 times until I can't, the metal won't stretch. From my limited amount of Japanese. I'll ask again when my wife gets back next week. I'm pretty sure I missed nuances in what he was saying.

Welcome back! I got to say that your translator did you a disservice, regrettably. He should have been "working" for you. That translator should have been telling Tsukasa and Mutsuki Hinoura that he needed to tell you what he was saying. Terrible translator regrettably. He was not working for you. You should have said to him "mMmMmmMmmMmmmMmm your fired!" LOL, but really you'd have been better off without him. Very cool you went solo.

Regarding Tamahagane, please please understand the reasons why it is so highly regarded. At one point it was made for the sword- ni hon-to exclusively. The tatara or furnace was built by hand by a group of highly dedicated kaji who made it together as a special highly ritualized process. Today it is different in most areas but the origins are for lack of a better word- sacred. Very very few people are able to obtain tamahagane in its best form. Therefore any limitations placed on its use and movement are specially restricted. Forgive me but it is bordering insult even to ask to buy a product made from it without being on the so called inner circle. Most respectfully I mean no harm in what I say. My friend and teacher Osaki Shigeharu Yasumune impressed reverence upon me for all aspects of the sword from the iron sand to the very end🙏

Woah there, mate. You say the seats in a Shinkansen are cleaner than an airliner? Well, that is ONLY true if you compare first-class Shinkansen to Economy airline seats. The regular Shinkansen seats SUCK BALLS! No legroom, tiny window, I suppose they’re just “normal” clean, and the air is rotten like canned air in early 2000’s aircraft before airliners figured out how to make a good indoor climate. Shinkansen is expensive, very very fast, kind of neat. And loses hard to regular seating on similar trains in nearby counties. Korea, for example, has great regular seating and super nice service on its high-speed trains. I would recommend traveling by one of you ever go.

There are some great bladesmiths in Korea, though I haven’t gone out of my way to encounter any yet.
