Video Wip {Making the Williams Blade Design OZK} Finished pics added

[BenR.T.]

Hey guys! I am currently building the first run of kwaikens for James Williams and Williams Blade design. These are an Osoraku Zukuri style kwaiken and will feature custom silver wave menuki. These will be sold exclusively through Williams Blade design.

I decided to do a few videos of the process. This obviously isn't a how to, but just showing a few of the steps in the process. This isn't all of the steps, but it gives a glimpse.

Here is video 1 and video 2. I'll post more as I finish them.
Let me know what you think!

Thanks very much guys! Here is video #3. Like I said, it isn't all of the steps, but I didn't want the videos to be an hour long either.

Thanks for sharing these Ben. But you're blowing my mental fantasy of quitting my desk job to go make stuff...that's a lot of work!

I think many people looking at a finished product, especially a "simple" fixed blade, underestimate what is involved to produce it. Just the equipment investment alone is impressive.

I appreciate the attention to detail, and I appreciate excellent craftsmanship period. Keep up the good work.
