I second the gorilla glue fix for your beater/user swords. Not only does it hold the habaki, but it also adds a rubbery like pop when you break that seal with your thumb. I'm a fan. Thanks for giving me the pool noodle fix credit.
I'm wondering how it is long term gotta do a check up on my raptor with Byrd
How much pool noodle do I cut off? 😅
Oh a small bit....very small piece depending on the amount of play...you can always add if need be..
@@JoeSteel1 so like the size of a cotton ball? What shape should the piece be? 😅 thanks for Ur patience, and help. My autism needs these specifics 😅🙇
@guillaumeforndran5822 yes if you can get it to a cotton ball...lol...it just needs to push against the blade to stop it from moving, and pool noodles doesn't absorb moisture so it's good for the sword...or oil soaked cotton but that's messy...no bother at all
Thanks for the easy fix my guy!just starting a blade collection and your videos have helped. Keep up the good work man.
My pleasure and glad it was some help to you, thanks for the views🙏🙏👊👊
Your video gave a very nice and easy solution and the result spoke for itself. Made me smile when I held it upside down and it did not fall off. Thank you.
Much appreciated my friend thanks for watching
Thank you for sharing this easy, practical fix!
Of course I hope it helps and if you have any questions let me know
This is an awesome video, such simple fixes to common problems!!! Thank you and Eric too!!!
Thanks my friend, I've had pretty good results on multiple swords with these methods, not the proper or traditional way...but for everyday cutters, does the job.👊👊👊👊🙏🙏🙏
Thank you Sir!!! Wonderful video!!!
Thank you kindly Zach
I just got a katana today and this was a problem that i had with it, so i think im going to try your method of fixing the saya.
Very helpful video by the way.
Just make sure you don't go with too much as it does expand as it dries, start with a thin layer, test, if it holds and is not to tight, it will pop out if done right....trial and error...you can always add more...hope you are successful, and many thanks
@@JoeSteel1 ok, thanks for the tip!
very interessting Video brother joe, i learned a lot...much love and respect to you
My pleasure
It works very well. Thank you.
I'm very glad to hear the video helped you cheers friend
This video was an absolute lifesaver when the koiguchi of my iaito went unbearably loose. Only problem was that I applied too much glue and had to spend a good hour sheathing and unsheating till I could use it comfortably again, but that was just user error on my part lol. Many thanks otherwise ^^
Yes, I tried to indicate the most important part to NOT apply to much as the properties of the glue is to expand 2 to 3x it's Size so bare minimum, you can always add more, but so glad it all helped you out...many thanks for sharing
thank you for this viedeo
I fix it with a tape❤
Very glad it helped you Sir..
Great info Once again bro going to have to do this on my S5 cloudhammer Katana it came loose
Many Thanks....And my S5 came to tight 😄
@@JoeSteel1 always better than too loose
You're an absolute legend. This worked flawlessly, used a swap tip stick to apply glue evenly and it was a perfect fit first try thank you 😁🙏🏻
@BDoNTheMagician That is awesome, the key is not to add too much and let it mold into it...so glad it worked for you...
This is just what I was looking for
Excellent so glad, hope it helps. take a look at part 1 for more info link should be in description I believe thanks
Very interesting, I think that trick is very clever. Also the pool noodle trick. Off of ideas like those gets people to to think outside the box.
My employer has a saying, don't think out of the box...think like there is NO box..lol
I used to have a strip of wood veneer for this. But you sport what you got. I don't know where my wood went but i got some glue somewhere.
😁😁😁✌️
What type of glue rein plastic or epoxy type?
It's Gorilla Glue friend
Agreed! I use this method myself for fine tuning a cheaper says.
Do you really Michael? I'm glad to hear that. such a great fit when it molds into place and great pop to release
Ok this really works I tried it on a katana I got that came loose thanks quick question how long does the glue fix usually last.
Well I have one sword, the Raptor unokubi from Hanwei that has changed hands and traveled around the country is still holding a tension fit so I would say years, but I imagine it would vary on use, you may need to reapply at some point but, yes it should last from 3 to 5 to more years for the what I personally have seen, as long as it's done correctly
Also a practice sword i tried it on the first time is holding at over 4 years
you have saved my fingers
🤣🤣🤣🤣So glad I was able to, those little members are important
What a grait video thank you
Many thanks..glad you liked it
I used to put some shoeglue in the tip of the hole of the saya it work for a while but i noticed i always apply it every 1 to 2 month till the saya had visible cracks
Oh no, that's not needed. One application done right is all you need, depending on the use or once a year, applying too much, and it will have an adverse effect
Great idea. Does anticipating moisture expansion play a role in this procedure?
Thanks...it is all about anticipation of how the gorilla glue expands and hardens, much trial & error with using it shows a thin coating can expand enough to give the Habaki a well molded fit...always better to add less then more initially
Where can I buy that sword?
Which sword buddy?...the Zsey?
The sword that you said you bought first at the beggining of this video. The one that you were fixing.
@somethingsarejustrainworld5018 That's a Musashi Silver series katana in 1060...dont know if it is exactly still available...Google it I would assume....its a entry level katana
Thank you!
A thin Layer of wood glue works too
As long as it expands and is able to mold to form of Habaki, sure...its the same general idea...👊🙏
Popsicle sticks work far better for application purposes
Like i said everyone has their own methods, this happens to be mine, for the molded fit and quick pop release..thanks for watching
@JoeSteel1 this method was amazing and literally made my whole day, I have already referenced your video to a couple people needing the same info.
Good stuff Brother!
much appreciated my friend 🙏
Thanks man I’m trying this
My pleasure, I'm hoping it works out for you.
My saya is to tight on my blade and slightly difficult to unsheathe how to fix?
Get yourself a metal wood filer and carefully shave some wood from the sides of the Koiguchi opening in the saya, only minimal until you get a better fit, less is better file and test consistency is key not to take off too much and weaken the saya
@@JoeSteel1 i wasnt expecting a reply but alright thank you lowkey i was thinking about trying it but was a little scared and there isnt rlly any tutorials on youtube for tight sayas. So thank you frfr
Good idea 👍
It really does the job well
Outstanding video, much appreciated the solid intel. I just picked up my first katana and been practicing. I’ve always been good to go with a the sword but now I finally bought a good one. Much L&R
Very much appreciated 🙏 so glad, hope it helps, ya, any questions send my way, peace out to you
Would a popsicle stick work? Like to grind it down trying not to go with the gorilla glue method if possible
Dude you can do what you want, wood stents are a choice for most and I would probably use that method for ultra expensive swords, but the glue fix is amazing at that it keeps a tight fit and 'pops" out when needed for me it's a perfect solution for that area..the Habaki molds into it immediately....if done right!
Would gorilla glue be good for a high quality sword @JoeSteel1
This method will work with any katana that needs the issue addressing, but if you mean high quality like in the thousands or a antique Nihanto, I would NOT recommend as it may diminish the value, for that you want traditional wood stents or have a professional adjust it...but Long answer quality has no bearing if it will work, question is if you should
@@JoeSteel1 its like a 200 dollar musha sword
timing for this vid was uncanny for me :) bought some gorrila glue a few days ago to do this for my raptor shinogi zukuri ( worst fitted saya i've ever encounterd) the rattle i solved with cottonbuds in mineral oil shoved right down to the tip end, but the tension still sucks and i went through all your vids the other day to find the original vid you posted but couldn't find it / wasn't 100% on the title lol i used a large match stick (all i had) and tried to use it very little but possible i over did it a tad but should be able to sand it back if need to.
cheers!
Funny the first sword that I really needed to fit better was in the Raptor line as well, must be an issue with them...that a good procedure in getting it done, hey man what ever works, thanks for watching Joske👊👊👊
will hot glue work?
Not sure if hot glue has the expansion characteristics of the G glue, and the g glue when drying 2x to 3x it's size forms a plastic mold that can conform to the Habaki, not sure if Hot Glue will act the same, never used it like that
👍
👍👍🤟🤟🤟👊👊👊🙏🙏🙏
I have a problem
I applied the non brown gorilla glue and waited for 30 minutes to put my katana back in and now it’s stuck
I think I either did too good of a job making the hole smaller or it is actually stuck in the scabbard.
Are you kidding?....firstly the brown original glue is indicated AND 30 minutes???? try more like overnight to let it dry...im thinking this message is more sarcastic then serious
@@JoeSteel1sorry for the weird comment. This is real. I thought I could do this because I’ve used gorilla glue before and it usually dries up within seconds. I’m pretty sure I only applied a little bit
@sakonan4883 😆if it was the clear one I still think I would take many hours before its non adhesive which is the goal, if you can get it out, scrape some off with a sharp blade, becareful not to cut the Saya, not sure how else to help you dude
@@JoeSteel1alright, thanks for telling me
Great video, I myself use the traditional way.
As do I Alex. But Inna a pinch, Joe has proven this works well. I just hate how it looks when finished. But we are definitely wood shims type of guys ain't we
To be clear I would not do this on a fine sword, and to be honest, I don't use my good swords much or not at all so they may never need tightening, but for cheaper everyday cutters, the perfect fit and amazing pop when released is fantastic and it only can be seen if you really examine it in the light.
@@Katana-Karl we sure are,not to mention, putting it around the sides and not top and bottom, could split the saya.
@@JoeSteel1 I do believe we all have swords we don't use, we sure have some we don't cut with.
I fixed mine with a tooth pick all purpose epoxy hehe after it dried out just used a multi tool to trim the excess and sanded it with #0000 wool hehe
What ever works brotha, this method took me a total of 10 minutes for a perfect fit, in many cases better than new..but im always interested how everyone maintains there swords...good deal
@@JoeSteel1 some swords has a minor defects on cosmetics or Saya
That's why some swords are sold out on lower price.
Excellent content! This content needs P r o m o s m!
👊👊👊👊👊👍👍👍Thanks what do u mean by Promosm???
Vasoline will damage the saya. The wood will absorb the vaosoline and eventually break down the glue holding the wood together
Gotcha...but...who said anything about Vasoline???
