This is fantastic! I am Japanese and I would like to note a few things that I found interesting. In this video, a single block of iron is simply beaten and stretched, but originally, the method used is to fold the iron over many times to remove impurities. The iron is then wrapped around the relatively soft core iron and heated by wrapping it with a hard steel core iron. This process makes it possible to achieve both sufficient sharpness and strength!

[@phantomwraith1984]

Folding it is also what gives the sword its wave pattern

[@Ringlestorf]

As far as I know (and of course I'm not an expert in any way) they folded the iron hundred times because Japanese furnaces couldn't reach high temperatures like the European ones, in wich it wasn't necessary.

[@malikmalchan2525]

@@Ringlestorf it wasn't hundreds of times, it was probably 100 layers which is achieved in 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and so on that was just 7 folds to get to 128

''This process makes it possible to achieve both sufficient sharpness and strength!'' Bro Katanas are the least durable sword out there, these things cant take heavy hits without bending and breaking. Stop the cap

[@theuhhhh]

The fact that you don't have a 100,000 dollar furnace makes it unique in a way

[@shevetlevi2821]

I never intended to watch the entire video but I couldn't stop watching. My karate sensei (RIP) was a Korean war vet and spend years in the Far East including Japan. He owned a composite wakizashi. By composite I don't mean composite material, but the different parts of the sword (blade itself, tsuba, endcap, and handle ) that you so beautifully fabricated were from different eras. But the soul of the sword, the blade, was from the 17th Century. He removed the handle to show me notches in the tang certifying that the sword had been tested presumably on the bodies of dead convicts, if it's true that they tested it that way. It was a stunning work of art and from that day on the wakizashi became my favorite length sword.

[@ayohue9982]

MAN! YOU LITERALLY ARE THE DEFINITION OF PERFECTION! Can't believe you formed this good Wakizashi from a rusted iron chain with not even that expensive type of furnace...Truly amazing and magnificent🙂

[@nickdavison9771]

This is an impressive build, the forging and manufacture of fittings was excellent. Assembly wise it would have been nice to see some ray skin & rice paper being used on the Tsuka wrap, also using a metal pin is not ideal, you should probably swap for bamboo or buffalo horn, metal pins can deform on a large impact and become jammed, that's why bamboo Mekugi are more commonly used. They are super cheap to buy.

Fun fact, the curve of a katana sword actually appears naturally when the sword is dunked in water after forging. It’s a master craft that takes decades to learn.

[@alexlu8178]

katana is different than this. Katana has a sheath

[@ioej2782]

okay, guy, how make straight long sword without hardened ? cause with hardened it become curve by your

[@madsnoren987]

​@ioej2782 these types of swords are made differently than european swords like the long sword. The edge is "softer" than the back, so when it is cooled the harder back contracts, forcing the edge to follow and leaving the blade curved.

[@sandwichreveiwer7078]

I'm sure at least someone has said this already but the pin in the handle is traditionally made of bamboo because in use the steel has little to no shock absorption and causes the blade to break.

forging tip- forge the blade profile straight, maybe a little curve, and quench blade down in water to get the bow. this is how it was done originally. and maybe make the tanto shaped tip longer. that's more of a side note. edit: and push the clay farther up towards the spine to get it off the blade, and when you quench drag a magnet along the edge and if it doesnt stick, you can quench. and for goodness sake, get an even heat, dude. you're gonna make me cry...
