Forging a KATANA out of Rusted Iron CHAIN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ธ.ค. 2020
- Well, This Katana took me too long to make and this was not easy to make it such perfect. Alot of People asked me to make Katana so i tried my best to make a perfect Katana Sword as i can.
Overall Sword Length : 35 Inches
Handle Length : 8 Inches
Blade Length : 26 Inches
All the Processes are below of making this beautiful KATANA:
Forging:
It took me almost three days to hand forge an Iron Chain piece into a long Metal Strip and this was one of my hardest forging ever. I don't have a power hammer so i did all the forging with hands and turned a chain piece into an almost 33 - 34 inches long steel strip.
Grinding:
I started some rough grindings of long strip on my Belt sander and turned the strip into a Katana shaped long steel piece. I also hand sanded the edges with the help of file to remove almost all the roughness of the sword.
o. I made the Blood Groove with the help of rotary grinder.
o. The blade bevel was made by my professional angle grinder.
o. Hand Sanded the blade to remove roughness.
Hardness:
There is a professional way to harden a Katana and that is
Covering the whole sword in a Fire Clay (Insulation) Except the blade bevel.After that we put the sword into the fire and heat it to critical temperature. We use oil to Quench the heated sword in it. Now the Bevel is hard and the remaining sword is annealed. Tempering the blade is the best way to increase the Strength, Hardness and Toughness of the sword.
Hibaki:
This piece is traditionally made by forging some copper or brass but we can also make it by casting these metals. And the purpose of hibaki is to hold the Sheath with the handle.
Handle:
The Handle contains three parts.
o. GUARD: I made the guard by using a thick brass sheet, which is roundly turned into a beautiful metal piece that can show a partition between the handle and the remaining sword.
o. Spacer: This is the little metal piece which fits on tang and controls the fittings of the whole handle so nothing should vibrate in handle.
o. Wood: A nice piece of wood uses as a handle of the sword and that could be Wrapped by some soft (leather) strips.

I don't understand why pple dislike the video......this man took almost 3 days for the blade, filming and editing
They are either jealus because their videos dont Get that many views or they think its funny to dislike a video
It could be a bunch of weeb japanese culture puritans that are like "That's not a real katana 'cause you didn't fold the metal 1000 times"
Could also be because of the 10 mid roll adds
It could also be some of the ways he improperly uses his tools (file and bandsaw were the two big ones I saw)
Cause there always be haters no matter what you make and you just ignore them

@@LeighFlies same
My favorite part is when he welds the chain together with the saw
And 9:30, when he erases that ink using a marker.
I'm most impressed at how he drew that center line unguided
Agreed, it looks impressive, but he's actually running his middle finger down the edge, and his hand (including the pen) is a fixed unit. Handy trick! 3:01
Right like he makes these swords every day!? Who knows maybe he does
He used the blade as a guide, common technique when fabricating all sorts
What would guided look like to you? That's a very common technique used in all kinds of trades
With the help of MIDDLE FINGER🖕
You are a true creative artist. Beautiful work! 👏👏👏👏👏
You made something so valuable and useful out of literal trash , man this is perfect you're really an artist and one skilled swordsmith ❤️ God bless You 😊
Seeing all the equipment we have now to get everything as precise, makes you wonder how much talent did old Japanese blacksmiths have. Because obviously all of this didn't exist. Crazy how many katanas were made back then and most of them had some of the most complex designs. Crazy how humanity was always capable for most things
Literally every single country that had swords back then : are we a joke to you ?
No like seriously stop praising Japan for literally every single thing they do like if it's special jeeez
@@reedrazor7546 Well nah I just think the craftsmanship of swords made in the middle east and Japan are much more complex than swords in Europe. A lot more goes into them. Also I brought up Japan because the video is literally about a katana. Was Europe producing katanas????
@@alexelliott8519 no
Actually if they saw European swords early they will just copy the design 100%
I mean nobunaga the man who unite Japan is literally wearing an armor that use European design as it's core, and literally copying Portuguese arquebus and turned it into tanegashima teppo.
If they saw a rapier they would copy it 100% its longer and lighter than a katana means greater reach, polearm are more efficient than a yari or naginata, you cannot cut anyone with full armor with naginata or yari.
perfect for killing people, which is the essence why weapons are made.
@@r3zaful I think the comment was about the skill these people in the past must have had to for such well crafted swords. The Europeans made good ones too, but they were just using Japan as one example because the video is about making a katana.
@@universalcat2262 if you let European craftsman back then to make a katana it will be made with better material and better equipment and it will be more efficient in killing stuff.
You see in Japan social class craftsman mostly lving in the riverside even the finest craftsmans like lets say samonji and sanjou,
They are underfunded, because they are poor by nature of their social class as they are the 2nd lowest class above Merchant.
But still quite impressive how they made good swords in that kind of situation.
Can we just appreciate that he has all fingers at the end of the video
Wow no repliew
No. It's not that hard to keep all your fingers. Woodworking is far more dangerous. Lookup table saw or jointer accident videos
lol
@@mattooi4322 r/whooosh
Imagine a blind japanese old guy making one of those without a single machine in the year 1200, epic
i love how much effort and detail he put to it i personally would had put way less detail to the appearance and just focus all my effort on functionality i wouldn't had even make a proper samurai handle just drill a few holes and wrap string rope through them and around it until it makes a comfortable handled that i can property grip without slipping
I'd like to see him create a rusty chain out of a shiny katana
Amazing work!
just play it backwards.
Reverse the video👀
much longer to do !
Lol
@jookia how
can i just say, the way you marked that line down the middle of that thing was something superhuman.
Used his middle finger to maintain the same distance from the edge
I agree even panel lining my gunpla seems to be a hard job but it's even worse done in a flat piece of paper
no matter how much I concentrate or force my hand to stay sturdy I can never get a clean line like that 😭
agree. .😂😂😂
Shop now
No, this wasn't such a big deal. I guess that to forge the piece of steel to form this katana-curve was much closer to super-human.

Random Hands says this was one of the hardest hand forges he has done. The weapon smiths from feudal Japan would agree with him. They took a month to forge ONE high quality katana, some of them took much longer.

@@lapatjani3171 what do you mean by weebs brah.
You had to watch for the flames "color" to be right for tempering, and no cutting to shape as Lapat Jani mentioned it had to be hammered into shape.

You mean at 3:01 ? If you watch his fingers he's using them as a ruler/stopper against the metal. He's pinching the marker and pushing his finger against the blade as a guide. It's relatively easy to draw a straight line that way.

Just imagine how much it would take in ancient Japan with old tools, unbelievable
This guy is just drawing out a blade from a single chain link which is pretty straightforward.

Just before the Second World War, during the Sino-Japanese War, the Japanese military created a type of sword known as the "袁州虎徹" or "Spring Sword" using car springs.
It was reported to be highly praised for its minimal maintenance requirements and relatively comparable performance to older era swords. According to records, Chinese soldiers also engaged in trench warfare, wielding handmade swords, and clashed with each other in the midst of the conflict.
First i found a Pakistani chanel on TH-cam which i really feeling proud of ❣️❣️❣️❣️ love you my brother keep growing mashallah
Modern tools really help the process. Imagine doing this 500 years ago with hand tools only, and your sword master demands over 1000 folds into an ingot hammered out into a paperthin sheet. 😳
2000 years bc in the egypt they could do really complex operations.People back then could do such things
They still make swords that way in Japan
They've got machines 500 years ago too. The thing is that they will never tell it to you. Thats a lie.
actually, its only 11 folds, its 2000 layers. also, assuming you are forging from the same metal, there would be no need to fold it because it is already fairly pure.

The fact that he forged that shape out without power tools is damn impressive. You're one skilled bladesmith dude.
After all that work,why did he drill a hole through the tang at the top and make the wrap look like crap when he could have drilled it at the bottom and added a brass pommel piece and wrapped over it? A katana is held together by all the pieces fitting tightly. Some people make really nice handles by just throwing some glue on the bottom of the handle and hammering a thin brass or steel cap onto the end and it works fine actually using it in a utilitarian way for years.
He did use power tools, there are people who would’ve banged out that shape instead of cutting off pieces of metal
