TLDW #17 - Aikuchi Tanto Koshirae - Carving the Tsuka & Saya
**WARNING: This is the longer process version intended for serious students of historical knifemaking. The wood is hounoki, carve carefully and check often! Order of operations below...
In this video the tsuka is carved first, starting with the fuchi end and then the kashira area, carving the profile outlines and then removing the material in between before carving the final shape and sculpting the details. The saya is next, first dimensioning the blank is to approximate size and then profiling the koiguchi and then the kojiri, removing the material and carving as close as possible to the final shape using kanna and kiridashi. Finally any remaining high points in the curves are smoothed with a fine rasp.
The previous stage is carving the inside of the handle and scabbard: https://youtu.be/ZMLh7ocI9b4
The next stage is making the fittings: https://youtu.be/BLzKldYVHMs
