Making a Katana from a Circular Saw-blade
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 มิ.ย. 2020
- Some details about the build;
The blade is 640mm (25") long,
The handle is made from purple heart wood and phenolic plastic with fibreglass pins,
I got the large saw-blade for free from a sawmill,
The steel is medium/high carbon and is already hardened,
I applied water regularly while grinding to prevent overheating the steel and ruining the hardness.

I was a little worried about installing the blade after reading a couple of reviews. But it was amazingly easy. Took about 1 minute. Works great th-cam.com/users/postUgkxjpBI8OOeUXib_iT7UomCrQ-uauwZJ62c . Cuts easily and is perfect for pocket cuts I needed to make for replacing some old deck boards.
What an excellent project! I'm currently restoring a Victorian Gothic house so I totally get the commitment to sanding. As a fishermen, I'm also a knife nut so love your videos
Ive been watching your channel for years since you were doing the old slingshot videos way back. Still making brilliant content and like matthias wandel, you're making content without a supersized workshop or a tool sponsorship, which makes the projects relatable and way more enjoyable to watch, as well as inspiring. people like you and tom stanton are brilliant examples of can do attitude and passion for making. Just a side note, invest in some decent cobalt drills for your projects as it will make all that hole drilling way easier and neater.
Lord Sakazuki hahahahahah
I have watched him from those years also. Melting aluminum cans and pouring into molds. I have never had any intention of making any of these things that he makes but I like to watch him make them from things that are normally thrown away. I also like the way that he isn’t disappointed when it’s not quite perfect. He does the best he can with what he’s got.
I remember watching your videos years ago and appreciating that someone at about the same age as me is doing cool stuff. I'm so happy to see another video from you and to see that you're going to university but still doing the cool things that ive admired you for.
who gives a shit if it doesn't meet traditional criteria. this bloke put a heap of effort to create this. his family never saw him for weeks!
The purist in me said “that’s not a katana” lol. It is however a beautiful piece you’ve made. You put in a ton of hard work to produce a short sword you should be very proud of. Love the recycling of material also. Bottom line.... great job!
No need for a purist to know its as far from katana as it is from the puukko knife.
.m
Those young hands have amazing skills and patience. Good for you!!
It has become more of a Machete with a Tanto Style, but it's looking great man - nice Project :)
Lmao too funny
@@630nick you come over a dios to love it I ok lol on to I'm ok
A man Who stands under this blade's shadow will surely not object to the name given to it by the owner. Call it a spork for all I care, it is a fine piece of craftsmanship and built for serious use! Sing the body electric my friend~
Thank you for not choosing annoying music
An excellent song, and lowered volume for noisy tools, what a gentleman
Looks more like a wakazashi very cool build
The level of craftmanship and skill in this build is amazing! Good job man!!!
Used to watch your stuff when I was 16 and learning to make knives myself
I’m 21 now
Great content man
Good to see you’ve stuck at it
Nice work. It's amazing to think that Japanese artisans were making katanas the same way for like 600 years. Their hands must have gotten super tired cranking their angle grinders though.
Arrr Ummm respect towards them for sure
This is your finest work so far, both with the sword and video editing!
U say thay like your hes maneger or somthing
You have the patience of a monk, and the determination of a bull. Beautiful project, and the music was perfect!
Beautiful blade my friend. Great craftsmanship every turn. Good hole alignment insured by pre insert of fiber glass rods. Nice videography too with good music choices.
Really happy to see your channel on my recommended list again! My son and I watched all your old videos and I will definitely watch this with him and show him what happens if you keep moving forward. Enjoyed the build and the video production quality.
Didn't know there were so many traditional Japanese weapon experts on TH-cam. Nice work man, beautiful katana!
If it only was the issue of the "expert" level of knowledge. This is not close to ANY Japan type of blade. Katana is not even near being considered.
Beautiful my friend. That's a family heirloom your grandchildren can truly cherish someday.
I prefer those videos just with the tool sounds.
I liked your editing style and the blade came out real nice! I recently made one and called it a katana and got completely lambasted by people about it.
Who cares what they think 💭 you actually created it which is what counts as long as you are happy the ones that appreciate these type of projects will too forget the haters who are they to judge ? Do you and be proud, not everybody have the balls to do it and showcase it for the world 🌎 but you obviously do 💪🏾 , keep going haters will always be there whether you’re right about something or not 😂😂
Thank you cosmic maverik. That was refreshing man!
The weebs get way too butt-hurt over things like that. Just laugh it off.
I never saw a katana in that old rusty sawblade. But you brought it out from there. Amazing.
It will be here 5000 years from now.
Beautiful.
Missed your last few uploads, did not expect to see this but am glad i did!
I don't know how many hours you put into this but you did it affection and dedication. Keep making these video 👍
🤣, go for real katana forging in taditional ways. It takes about a year. Watch it,interesting
I am sooo upset
....That I didn't find this channel sooner. I need to watch all the videos he's made!
more beautiful than the factory
I can speak from experience, quarantine revision brings out the highest levels of procrastination you can possibly imagine
I remember your videos as a kid making slingshots and knife handles out of milk cartons
Black and purple heart colors go together perfectly.
Highly skilled young man , if only the majority has a mind set like you , well done
OMG! What a video, what craftmanship, what a blade, what sharpening and even tameshigiri skills. This is all amasing! New subscriber!
This was a lot of work and patience. Turned out fantastic. 👍
More of a Wakizashi style, but very well done, it will cut, and no doubt kill. Love it..
Don't joke!! Katana is another thing!!!
That is one bad-assed kitchen knife
Really cool sword and functional
put the cap on the bottle and pierce it with a nail, only a jet of water will come out. Beautiful work!
Very nice Katana style Machete. It was nice to see you using the water to keep the steel cool so you would not lose the hardness of the metal. The sharping stones where nice to see to. And the handle had way to many pins in it but was still so pretty. Good choice of wood. Keep up the great work.
Technically not a Katana but more like a Machete, but who cares, you did an incredible job and I really liked it. The hardness of the saw blade ia clearly eminent hence wondering how it will react against a strong blow in a hard object as it tends to look more brittle to me. Personally i feel the sharpness will last considerably long due to hardness, and I also feel you can make it a lot sharper than what you shown to us.
Great Jobs and kudos
Your an artist bro👏👏👏
Great video, lots of work in it.
Love the blade work it is art as far as I am concerned and Katana style blade are always good looking
Nice design, great job. Thanks for sharing
Idk if you could call this katana since it has to be a certain length and have certain qualities that this knife lacks, it’s more like a machete or katana inspired machete.
Or a wakizashi?
Still beautiful though.
Brian Donahue hell yeah it is
Eric Judd it’s a just 1 inch taller than a regular wakizahi so it’ll probably be classified as a machete ō-wakizashi hybrid
You absolutly said what i was about to say, thank u, now i just need to like that comment! XD
Turned out good
I remember when you were just a kid with a passion. You've grown :)
Really, REALLY awesome job, man.
Nice job TAOW, it looks great!
I really enjoy the work you put into 1 video
Katana is incomplete without it's sheath
Good work. Nice blade.
Awesome came out better than I thought it would.
I enjoyed this handy work and having proper tools so much .....I CRIED! To have any ability one must try, also yup always need help weither from somone or the proper tools! THANKS MAN , IAND I DO LOVE BLADE AND SWORDS👊
Awesome work!
great job, it was beautiful and very sharp.
That is a nice metal finishing work I’ve seen me coming from a tooling background nice job
Beautiful work!
I will be making one of these...Thank you for the video. Good job..
Looking pretty sweet.
You can definitely trim some greenery with that.
At least that what I primarily used my large sharp metal objects for.
Absolutely awesome buddy. Awesome.
Wow you put a lot of work into that blade👌
You have done an awesome job and I cannot wait to see what you make next👍😁
Fantastic work and fantastic skill - congrats
Great project with a nice finish.
Nice project...beautiful product.
Camera work is unusually good, some labelling, although most steps are self-explanatory.
Very cool.
Very nice creation and the music was pleasant to listen to while you made this fine blade.
"Your blade sir, will KEEL" - water "Doug" bottle
Excellent effort great job and excellent results and best finish
Excellent video, a good looking weapon too... Your home made craftsmanship is really first class. :)
Looks cool and capable. Great work.
Good job. Very sharp!
Some details about the build;
Apparently it's not technically a katana, but a katana shaped blade...
The blade is 640mm (25") long,
The handle is made from purple heart wood and phenolic plastic with fibreglass pins,
I got the large saw-blade for free from a sawmill,
The steel is medium/high carbon and is already hardened,
I applied water regularly while grinding to prevent overheating the steel and ruining the hardness.
I'm also planning on making a sheath in a future video.
Hope you all enjoyed!
Hey, just be careful with owning this type of blade as there is specific legislation regarding katana style blades, due to some attacks a decade ago. I'm fairly certain new blades are completely banned.
Great video. Good job with the tanto tip looks great
If you want to send me an offcut of that saw blade I can Rockwell hardness test it for you
It's absolutely gorgeous and the craftsmanship is topnotch.
many do care, and if you were selling this you would get sued
1. ПРЕКРАСНОЕ ИЗДЕЛИЕ!!!
2. ПРЕКРАСНАЯ СЛЕСАРНАЯ РАБОТА - свёл работу на гриндере к минимуму!!!
РЕСПЕКТ ТАКИМ ПАРНЯМ!!!!! Друг мой, ты проделал гигантскую и прекрасную работу!!!!
Love the video man! Keep up the good work!
Give this guy a tool shop, he'll be a one man A Team
That was definitely some skilled blade work my friend. I’m impressed. You really forged a valid weapon from a rusty old other wise piece of scrap. The handle turned out beautiful with the black inlay. And the blade... remarkable.
I would more so call it metal work then blade work impressive none the less
@@saschasmith3635 I agree, this wasn't forged, cause there was no forge involved at all.
“Forged a valid weapon” can I get time stamp I missed it
In the other hand really nice metal work
Amazing video! Great job.
You enjoyed making it and I enjoyed watching it, nice one mate.
Nicely made I have one I made out of an A2 sawmill round blade and it's the hardest steel that isn't oil quench I've ever used
pure art ..perfect metal to start with would weld the cutting edge before grinding for hardened edge..cheap trick that can save the blade long term
Great job!!!
Perfect catana 👏👏👍
Great job!👏🏻👍🏻💯
wow man what can i say i am out of word. just amazing.
Wonderful job great art love it 👍
Nice tip with the masonry bits.
Beautiful sword.
Absolutely awesome Katana Sword !!!!!!!!!!!!
Really awesome job mate.
Excelente trabajo ya tienes mí like 👍,solo una acotación, el mango de la Catana se ve un poco resbaladizo,me hubiera gustado una empuñadura de mejor agarre y más vistosa, así parece un machete, pero te felicito por tu dedicación y por mostrarnos tú trabajo, gracias.
I'm impressed👍
Machetana very nice work, man !
I never would have thought of using a concrete carbide tipped bit to go through hardened steel, I’ve been wanting to make some blades out of files as well as sawblades and now I know how
Good job 👍🏻
Parabéns pela obra de arte!!
Love the video and music
our lil dudes all grown up :))
i remember your first slingshot video man XD
hope ur doing well haha
Good job. Even though it’s not really a katana but it is a nice blade. Thanks for the video
That is awesome good job 👍🏼 I want one now. 🤙🏼
Damn dude! Great job!
