Hello, I'm Japanese. I am writing English using Google Translate. In Japan today, there is a law that violates the Firearms and Swords Law, and it is not allowed to make or hold a sword, but I am proud that Japanese swords are known to the world in this way. Thank you very much.
what a dumb law is this that one cannot keep sword. Japanese swords are know to god as well mate not just world
@@84jagdeep you may have misunderstood, you're allowed to own a sword, but you're not allowed to hold it unsheathed.

Hi I’m Japanese.
I’m amazed how it looks!
If you do folding the soft heated metal and pounding for around 6 times then shape, it will be looking more stronger and beautiful!
Also, using cray and coal mixed water and draw waves before the last bake session, it will gives great waves on it too!! :)
Sorry if it sounded arrogant. I just wanted to give some more info cos it already looked very nice without them.
This isnt arrogant at all. It's hard to fully tell if someone is expressing positive or negative tone in a text, and very much different in person. I think this comment is very insightful and beneficial knowledge. Cheers.
Not arrogant at all, sir, only a gentleman who knows what he’s talking about; I’m proud to say that in my country, Spain, we also have great swords made in Toledo, famous for hundreds of years for their quality, strength and beauty. I wish you a good and prosperous day.

This guy: „fine, I’ll do it myself”

lol sooo true
Sigh.. lol I guess
why would a mother buy a kid a katana?
thats bad parenting
Simply gorgeous! Love it!
I’m always very curious if any of these homeforged swords would actually hold up to the punishment that a sword from its respective time period would be expected to in real combat.
Sure, they always look amazing, but I’d love to see one of them get put up to a rigorous but realistic stress test. Then if it passes it, push it beyond reasonable limits and see how much it can take before it fails.
Forged in Fire has had a few Katana builds over the years and they held up amazingly.. they were even able to split a bullet in half with no damage to the edge
In most cases it’s made for collection and not for fighting, so the durability of the weapon doesn’t matter
@@lexilynne419 to be fair you can shoot a bullet at a butter knife and the bullet will be cut in half.
The sword looks amazing, but i am afraid that one piece of chopstick holding the whole blade is a big weakpoint of the build. Even a kitchen knife has 2-3 points where the blade is fixed to the grip.
Bro this is held up by a chopstick. I hope nobody used this “fine american crafted sWoRd”

thats what im sayin
For r3al
I literally went to the comments after I saw that bit like bruh is that normal😌
Ah yes, wait a minute, i need to bake my katana
It's a process called tempering, it adjusts the granular structure of the steel so it is not brittle.
*props to the camera man for inhaling the hot steam to film this video*
Really amazing! I love the final result. The bamboo gives a mystique result.
One of your most wonderful pieces i must say. Such elegence, and simplicity in both blade design and the way the bamboo holds everything up nicely and tight ! Great work ^^
agreed
Opponent: Yo why did you bring a bamboo to a sword fight
This guy: *smiles*
[jokes apart imagine mistakenly grabbing an actual piece of bamboo before a fight]
i'm hoping someday to see someone craft any medieval weapon with the tools/techniques from those times
don't think anyone has the patience to make a katana traditionally anymore, but you can actually see plenty of aesthetic smiths make European weapons in traditional forges
@@zanelebushgenie270 doesn't it take like literal years to create one traditionally? Cuz from what I know, creating katanas from the 90s were already hard, so I'm thinking even creating it traditionally will be hell to do.
@@coinsjar6956 most likely, i haven't looked into katanas much but i think the blade went to several different blacksmiths throughout the process, each a master in their individual part of the creation
In this moment 2:20 my grandpa remember something.
A beautiful sword from a leaf spring!! I am in awe of your talent and hard work to create!

Because you want to shape blade before hardening it,otherwise say goodbye to your files and sandpaper.
@@user-ej4eq5im4r careful there sir, having an opinion on youtube is forbiden and you should know this.
The rhythm 🥁 4:00
Some of the western katana today have no soft core like the traditional Japanese swords which is the original way of making one. Traditional ones are more harder to make but last longer because the core absorbs the force and reduces blunt impact when in contact with solid objects. Solid steel like this will either snap in the center or chip bigger. The weight distribution should be in the hand area, and the tip weight must be lighter compared to the center, and hand area.
hand area = heavy
center area = medium
tip area = light

He may not do it in the traditional way but he still uses the blacksmith methods, modernized and original. One things for sure doesn't matter how it's done as long as it's done right and with precision, dedication, patients, steady hands, and a determined soul, Anything you make will turn out a masterpiece and this is a masterpiece.
if it is not folded, it is trash!
@@og3suso978 no actually if its folded its trach, you clearly dont know what the folding was actually done for, which is hilarious. thew folding was done specifically and ONLY to even out the impurities in the very low quality steel the japanese had access to, it literally only does that. they are short and thick aswell and that combined with the low quality stiff steel makes them especially brittle and very very prone to shattering.
@@Helperbot-2000 The iron used for Japanese swords is a special type called Tamahagane. You seem to have no knowledge of swords.
@@moqhacker the iron used in japanese swords was low quality because they couldnt easily separate it from the sand it was it, and again, it was low quality steel
@@moqhacker OK, but why is that relevant?

Man, that's so cool, katanas are so awesome and this was a really cool idea. Great work and effort, it definitely paid off! This is the type of ASMR I like to hear😂
not really, theyre pretty bad, thats the reason they were used more for just ceremonial purposes than actual combat and why the samurais weapon of choice were bows and polearms
On battlefield : spears, polearms and bows
In everyday life : katana
Katana are awesome for what they are designed to do, just like spears or other swords

The bamboo stick sword is sharper than the Tokitou Muichirou katana!!! This broom sword reminds me of the bamboo broom that my father used to spank when I was a child when I smashed the camera, I am so grateful for this video!!!
Soooo, after reading some comments, this is not a katana but an art piece. Nice!
It was unbelievable how a katana could be made from a small piece of metal.
dude plays minecraft, guy gathers iron and bamboo and crafts a sword
Most historical sword, whether Western or Eastern are not that heavy. Usually around 3-8 pounds.
@@inisipisTV yeah, but it depends how that weight is used. european longswords while beeing similar in weight are significantly longer aswell as the fact theyre made of way higher quality steel which means they have proper springyness to them making them durable and nimble. while katanas are shorter for their weight aswell as alot thicker to make up for the lower quality steel the japanese had access to at the time, its impressive how well they could utilizen the steel they had, but its unfortunate how brittle their swords were. the steel quality is also why they were folded a few dozen times, it was done to remove some of the impurities but more importantly even them out to prevent large weak points
@@Helperbot-2000 They didn't have steel native to Japan either. Most of their katanas were made of pure iron ore sand. I've watched a TH-cam video of how a traditional Japanese person said they harvested the iron for their swords and they would go to the beach with a magnetic rock and draw it over the sand until they had a decent amount of it. Man at Arms reforged is a good channel and Ilya always tries to make Japanese katanas the traditional way when he gets to make them. In fact the metal was so brittle before hardening that Katanas are "supposed" to be straight and they curve when going into the water for hardening, very cool to see it done.
@@SeviathTheHumanDrago well no they did have steel steel isnt separate from iron, you make steel WITH iron and carbon, and so yes they used iron ore sand. they didnt use magnets) but their steel making process was quite poor and so they couldnt make very high quality steel, it had alot of impurities (which is the reason they were folded, to even out the impurities and remove them slightly. but yeah the curving is interresting, as the edge was covered, it didnt harden as much as the back dise, and so the backside would shrink faster curving it, its a bit like a bi-metallic strip!
That's a beauty right there. Looks so simple yet very very deadly. Awesome job!
I like the way you make swords because you don't cut the metal to form the katana. most of the channels he cut to form the katana. salute
Jesus christ man... you made that shine way more than i thought it would.
great job!
as my mom always says: “that’s too much like work”
This is the least work intensive way of make this kind of sword
I’ve been waiting for you to do a hidden sword for so long yay!

Damn that's amazing! Oh also not to be a jerk, just a fact: It's called shikomizue(cane-sword)
I also thought he was going to make one of those. But since it had a curved blade i discarded the idea. I mean, from what I remember a shikomizue has a straight blade?
If someone were to order this from you, how much would you charge them?

@@jamesallen4368 I mean....if it's high enough quality...

Me who used to play with bamboo as a katana is childhood...MY TIME HAS COME
A sword is the process of creating a work of art from just iron. The Japanese soul is this inherited for hundreds of years.
I suppose the wife wasn’t too happy you using the kitchen oven to temper that thing! Lol!
DISCLAIMER: this isnt how actual katanas are made he just made it for fun
BUT THATS SUPER COOL
the katana is made up of two metals, the heaviest on the edge of the blade, and the lightest on the top. I think it cannot therefore be defined as a katana
Yeah i agree with you
@@shounihillys1902 aww thanks for that
@@shounihillys1902 Its more about hardness, the density of the two metals is almost the same, since they are both steel
@@ignacioaguirrenoguez6218 they use a different dosage of carbon
Beautiful work and great craftsmanship .
Nice! And spring steel makes great weaponry.
*What Sensei Wu is really hiding in his staff*
True
Maybe who knows
th-cam.com/video/Dvrw1b-xhIs/w-d-xo.html
An ak-47 can certainly beat spinjutsu
@@synergy8879 nah
The katana is inherently straight, and bends due to the internal stresses of the metals during quenching, because it is a composite product. Several different steels are used there. You could use just one type of steel, but achieve a roughly similar effect with zone hardening. Which is also often used in the production of katanas. I'm really not sure if the result would be the same curved blade. But that would be closer to the original production technology.
Otherwise: nice sword. Good job.
Isnt the curvature resulted from different cooling times for different parts of the blade in the quenching process?
@@nopr1v4cy2 yes. As the blade cools during the quench it goes through a few distinct phases. Positive sori and negative sori. The spine being coated in satanite for example,allows the cutting edge to cool much faster than the spine. At high temps the phase is often called austenite, the rapid cooling of the material creates the second phase know as martensite.
If you want to know how a master of the craft makes a sword, refer to this video. th-cam.com/video/gxwWf-MfZVk/w-d-xo.html
@@5.56Chronicles Though to add, we might have to consider that the curvature generated from the quenching process isn't the sole reason in contributing to the blade's curve. These things were of course, were decided upon the smith.
Excellent job! Very beautifully made!

Blind Justice movie flashbacks. Love it.
6:40 that blade looks perfect
First time I’ve seen steel being worked so cold.
He do be forging really cold though
Beautiful blade, nice work mate.
It looks more like a Tachi, rather than a Katana due to its curve if I am not mistaken.
Also no guard makes it quite dangerous (for the wielder), not to mention bamboo handle is quite fragile + very slippery for combat purposes.
But it is hell of a blade nonetheless, looks gorgeous :)
It's a shirasaya. IIRC, some samurai started to carry these hidden blades (made to look like walking sticks) after swords were made illegal to carry in Japan.
They didn't have a guard as that would make them a lot less hidden.
They would only be more dangerous to those unfamiliar with their use. Though, thrusting with one of these... well, you'd better have strong hands and a good grip. The handle on this one doesn't inspire my confidence. Maybe it's stronger than it looks.
I should say that I love the bamboo on this sword. I wish you could find more shirasayas like this but preferably with something done to the bamboo to strengthen it. That's probably why I can't find any.
@@GUNNER67akaKelt Ohh loved this bit of information, thanks mate. He actually cured the bamboo but that's usually for stopping cracks and/or shrinkage over time, doubt it makes it stronger.
@@demran at least the bamboo is a bit more durable now

Katanas and just swords in general gets me laid.
simply GREAT! Congratulations once again.
you know im wondering how hard it must of been to forge a good weapon back in the old ages like 70 A.D like all these machines make it look easy but its still hard. They gotta do it by hand back then which is insane in my opinon
right? i wouldve loved to see how they did it back then with whatever techniques they used
@@TinyMiracle02 There are videos on youtube
A blacksmith usually had helpers with sledge hammers makes the job allot easier.
@@trueredlucky954 yea sure I guess, but look at 5:36 how would the helpers pull off something like that. You get what I mean? like to make the weapon look nice and symmetrical this, guy uses insane machinery which helps, and I'm pretty sure helpers cant do stuff like that. right?
