Man, to put all those grooves on the handle makes it even more unique and meticulous. Fascinating to watch. I don't even collect knives/swords but I want this katana XD
Not a katana, any real japanese bladesmith would snap this trash on a rock the moment they found out how it was made. This is extreme disrespect to the highest degree to a japanese bladesmith who makes actual katana from scratch. Just making the tamahagane the sword will be forged out of takes 72hrs alone, they make the iron from scratch not pull garbage out of the local dump
@@weedconesuer To each their own. I'm sure even a true master blacksmith could see the talent involved in a sword such as this. Was it forged using traditional historic methods? No, but I'm sure the smith of this sword is very proud of his abilities and the result of his labor. I believe a true, honorable blacksmith should be respectful of another's work and methods.
@@weedconesuer I’ve seen only hateful comments coming from someone that I bet can’t even make a sword half as good sure this bladesmith didn’t use traditional authentic methods but they sure as hell worked hard on it and you shouldn’t put them down for using some “iron found at the dump” the point was making something that was thrown away and useless to make a beautiful blade that could be used for many things other than sitting in the dump so why don’t you learn the basics of being a human and treat people with at least a shred of respect
@@jacobferdinand7480 He never said he wishes he was japanese and/or lived there. He by definition is not a weeb, simply somebody interested in japanese blademaking. You can be fascinated with japanese culture while not being a weeb. Are non-Japanese kendo practitioners weebs because they practice a Japanese martial art? No.
Can't say I like the decision to go with a steel hibaki/tsuba instead of copper or brass, but I can certainly appreciate your hard work and the uniqueness of the final piece. Well done.
I mean, tsuba could be made of iron, the problem is the habaki, is also meant to absorb shock together with the seppa, that's why they're made of copper or soft metals
When making a katana you’d make it straight then put a substance on it, then cool it, making the curve of the katana. For this, they just make the curve by hand
@Random Hobby well no? no way right if ur a expert then ill belive that but i dont think so, the steel of a katana is super hard right?? its super strong and really good and a bearing is just a bearing, i bet if u took the katana made and a real katana the real katana would beat it in a lot of places, one being the one made isnt full tang making it worse for battle then a full tang
@Random Hobby ooo but i thought by making the blade hotter at some points and cooler making it more flexible and hard is better then just normal steel ig i was wrong :)
Carbon content of the steel and forge grain matter as well if you're planning to make something functional. Traditional katana making combined 2 grades of steel for functionality optimization. Yes its true they had to go through alot more work to MAKE good, usable steel, but what they ended up with holds up as good as any modern, manufactured steel product. Using just high carbon steel (as ive seen lots of DIY katana builds do) is fine for a display piece, but wouldnt go far in combat use without breaking. So in the end its all in how "legit" you want your sword. Traditional forging is an extremely time consuming process, which is why such weapons command high prices. Or you can go the DIY route with some commercial mild steel and make something thats perfectly suitable for most non-combat needs.
@@mfhero5295 i mean you do have a point, but back then when steel/metal mekugis were being used, it would bend and would be almost impossible to take the bent mekugi out. And thats why in the edo peroid, almost every single katana used a bamboo mekugi which was better because it was sturdy enough, and if it broke, it was very easy to replace it
I haven't seen any of these forging videos, I've watched dozens, how the curve is forged into the blade. It always shows the hammering, and immediately after, the curve is just there. I would love to see more on putting in the curve exactly.
The curve just appears because because of the way it is heat treated. Heat treating hardens the steel. The faster the blade cools, the harder it gets. That's why bladesmiths will rush directly from the forge to the quench. However when a clay is used along the spine it acts as an insulator. So when he quenches it, the blade hardens first. This causes a bit of a forward bend. Then when the spine cools the steel contracts and forms the traditional katana curve. That's kind of a simplified explanation but I hope it gets the point across. Edit: I should note that the spine also doesn't get as hard as the blade due to the clay. This is desired because hardening can make metal brittle (which is why bladesmiths temper after the hardening) so the spine not technically "hardening" helps it absorb the shock of hits better
That looks really boss. Also noticed you're drinking liquor in the video. Makes you seem....I don't know....real, like a real regular guy. I like that. Good vid, I enjoyed watching it. Makes me want to make one of those.
Excellent craftsmanship. But I think that the quench took a couple of degrees off of the curve. But other than that , this was an awesome video. Keep'em coming. May God bless you and your family. Happy Holidays ☯️🥋
Realy cool man awesome job maybe for next Time put The Groove for The tang in only one handle slab otherwise if you would use The sword alot of stress would come on The glue seal that keeps both slabs together again Realy Nice hope to be as good as you one day 👍🔥 Ps sorry if my vocubulary is bad im from The netherlands 😁
@@weedconesuer Someone doesn't know that feudal Japanese swords were some of the lowest quality steel used for weaponry in that time. So bad they literally invented a technique (folding) to try and make it usable. Gtfo of here with your stupid takes if you don't even know the basic history behind the weapon.

油焼き入れながら土置きして反りをつけたり、ハバキがあって鍔があったり、鮫肌を再現してたり日本刀へのリスペクトを感じられて良かったし、もちろん持ち味の柔軟な発想は忘れてなくてとても良かったです！
WOW! That looks really good! I love the creativity in making the handle especially! 10/10
Exactly, the chosen method of using stippling like they do on polymer frame pistols for the tsuka of a modern katana is genius.

Though the method of making a katana is much more harder and different but this one is also good. The effort on this is astounding.
absolutely correct. katana = folded steel
