There were a few defects in that circular disc-like piece you made for the handle. It would've been even better if you could've ground & polished those out more, but I'm no expert. Still a beautiful sword. Great work.
This is not a Katana. Or a Japanese sword. It is someone's idea of a Japanese sword. Tsuka, Tsuba and Hamon non-existent, let alone makers mark, and poor finish overall of blade.
I think it may have been a WW2 arsenal blade as I think I saw an arsenal stamp before he erased any vestige of information with an electric grinder. It does have bo-hi.
Не ясно происхождение катаны - не показаны клейма или другие знаки на хвостовике. Получилась катана как в фильмах про ниндзя 1980 годов. Отсутствуют несколько деталей из традиционного комплекта катаны. Цубу можно было сделать и поинтереснее. Не ясно, ты заточил катану или нет. Если точил, то мог бы что-то порубить, например веник. Не ходи с этой катаной по городу - может полицейский пристрелить!-)
@@Drsollo Да. Для офицерского состава разрешалось брать домашнюю катану. В производство для армии запускали сталь из рельсов. Танкистам, лётчикам, сержантам и другим военным специалистам, воюющим в ограниченном пространстве, выдавали вакидзаси. А для сержантского состава точно на клинок шло что попало.
This is a decent restoration. It also looks like it is a Katana. But it is definitely not an Antique. An Antique Katana would have some form of makers mark engraving on the tang. Even after cleaning it under the conditions it was found, you would probably still see some of that mark. This did not have any sign of that.
"An Antique Katana would have some form of makers mark engraving on the tang." That's not true at all. Some of the most important blades are Mumei (unsigned), see for example a lot of Masamune's works. A signed blade by no means can be definitely identified as a "real antique" just based on signature, there is a lot of fake signatures on the market, both new replicas as well as older ones.
I did not say signed, I said maker's mark. Many maker's marks are signatures but not all. If not a signature there would still be markings indicating a purpose or a lord that the sword was made for. The sword in this video had no markings.
@@tormondbloodshield6064 If you are talking about tang aspects as marks for dating and classification, sure. We cannot judge this without close-up inspection though. But the absence of a dedicated engraved mark or signature definitely does not imply that a blade is "definitely not an Antique". As I said, mumei are very widespread and already were so hundreds of years ago, even from very significant swordsmiths. Also keep in mind that signatures often are lost in older swords that have been shortened.
Yes, many of his long blades were shortened and his original markings were lost but those would have replacement markings on the newly created tangs. In some cases his (and other famous sword makers) signature was forged but most of those are also still considered antiques. They are not as valuable as his would be. They are still works that are old. They were still 'reworked' hundreds of years ago, just not considered as old (or as valuable) as his original work. Since the tang is covered and protected it is very rare for markings to be lost due to age. If there are no markings it might be an antique that some idiot had the markings removed but it is much more likely that it is not an antique.
@@tormondbloodshield6064 "but those would have replacement markings on the newly created tangs" Nope, not true. Just have a look at famous mumei or just a few shortened NBTHK papered mumei on the market right now. I'd also suggest having a look at the inventory of the Japanese National Treasure and the number of mumei with absolutely now markings (apart from form aspects and historic documents being available for assignment to a specific maker) at all.
this katana was already scrap at the beginning . thats why it was thrown away in the first place . if bother to polish a piece of scrap its not going making it any better . sorry
Найденная самоделка никак не тянет на античную вещь. Первое что бросается в глаза неправильная геометрия клинка. Второе что вызывает сомнения в аутентичности предмета - односторонний дол, странно что усилий мастера хватило только на одну сторону. Подгонка хабаки что до ремонта что после него оставляет желать лучшего... Изготовленная рукоятка у японского мастера способна вызвать разве что сердечный приступ, ладно покрасил её краской, хрен с ним с железным штифтом, но скажите, разве нельзя было найти специальный шнур..? Конечно проще у сестры цветные ленты стащить....
If you didn't know that isn't a real katana it is a decision katana that goes on your wall or in a katana stand and great job on the restoration you can tell because the tang doesn't go all the way though the handle and the only thing I suggest if you restore another katana is to only do hand sanding
even though that thing is absolute trash , definitely not a real sword , thankfully .. this is still the least relaxing thing I have ever seen ...... if you ever actually find a Nihonto , or Shinken , never do this , pay a professional
This is a wonderful restore. Buuuuut I wouldn't call this a Katana...More like a Ornate saber.
@Wayne Flanigan no
i dont think a saber has a pin that holds the entire structure of the sword together
Are you a sword expert?
What a fantastic restoration on this Katana sword. Everything came together perfectly.
Thanks for sharing 😀

Title is a lie, not an antique katana. Looks good at the end though!
Oh yeah I love find swords ⚔️ in the river
Is there some water tart around here handing out swords and titles!?!
Ótimo trabalho 👏👏👏👏 Marco Antonio, São Paulo, Brazil 🇧🇷🙏🇧🇷🙏🙏
Nice brush cutter

очень похожа на промышленно изготовленную в годы второй мировой войны. Там штамповали из чего ни попадя, лишь бы вооружить.

Awesome job love that you took a sword you found in the river and restored it back to fully working order awesome job
Belle restauration pour une vulgaire copie de Katana , un Katana est signé par la gravure de sont maitre forgeron , bonne continuation
Opa, que legal
Att: Weliton Marks - Canal Desbravatube
Cool.
A eșit super super mișto!
Dacă nu îi punei apărătoare arăta ciută.
Inventou de mais. Guarda mão e fita no cabo ficaram muito feio.
You did make it look rust free but ruined it as any type of Nihonto blade forever.
واو 😍👏🔪

it look like a fake sword. if it a real antique Katana Sword you messed up the sword.
茎がこんな変なはずはない。日本刀もどき。
Why didn't you sharpen the sword?
this katana was already scrap at the beginning . thats why it was thrown away in the first place . if bother to polish a piece of scrap its not going making it any better . sorry
This is not a Japanese sword. It is an imitation product.
Ох и трепло ,такая новая ржавчину через неделю где то появляется на металле🤦🤣
I suspect you know it's not an antique Katana.

13:13 - is that a crack in the blade near the guard?
doesn't matter ... there is nothing real about that blade outside of it being sword shaped metal
Қыйсықтау сияқты???

Not a nihonto.
Piece of junk restored to its pristine state of junk.
fake.
so you purposely throw a katana to river ?
👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏
DID YOU REALLY FIND THAT SWORD WITH THAT 🧲 MAGNET...
That was my thought. Looks like he bought it then threw it in the water a few months prior
even though that thing is absolute trash , definitely not a real sword , thankfully .. this is still the least relaxing thing I have ever seen ...... if you ever actually find a Nihonto , or Shinken , never do this , pay a professional
Неаккуратная работа
(((((
Lama discreta tutto il resto no.
Terrible 😞
Nn è venuta bene nn sembra una catana nipponica ciaooo
