Note: today's crop is unusually thin — almost every candidate is a hashtag-heavy short or an ASMR/compilation piece. This one is the least bad and actually shows a real technique.

The gyuto is the Japanese take on the Western chef's knife, and getting the tip geometry right is one of the harder parts of forging one. The tip has to taper down cleanly in both profile (top-down) and distal (side-on) directions so that the finished blade has a fine, agile point without a weak spot behind it. Rushing this step leaves you with either a stubby tip or a section that won't grind cleanly during bevel setting.

Sacco is a working knifemaker with a modest following, and his shorts tend to focus on a single forging move at a time — which is exactly what makes them useful. Watch the hammer control: he's driving the steel down at the very end of the bar while managing the taper along the length, which requires anticipating how each blow moves mass forward versus sideways.

If you're new to bladesmithing, this is a good reference for what "drawing out a tip" actually looks like on hot steel before any grinding happens.
