Here’s a second Japanese saw making video from http://web.mac.com/nami_aru/Daiku/いらっしゃい.html. This saw making video is a bit more involved than the previous one.
Again, I don’t speak Japanese, and I don’t have a translation of the audio, but from the narration at 1:30 it sounds like this saw is being made from tamahagane, which is a very high quality high carbon steel whose manufacturing process goes back centuries.
If anyone has more information on this video or the website that this originally was on, please let me know.
