WOOTZ steel from rusty springs-Forging a WAKIZASHI sword

The carbon fittings and the tactical tanto kisaki are not my taste either. The hada turned out quite pretty indeed.

[@silvershroud166]

Just the fact that you didn't forge the curve into the blade, and you actually quenched it in like it's supposed to be 🙏🙌 Proper traditional Japanese Technique. My personal biggest pet peeve of any katana build I see. Edit: before anyone comments, yes, I know this is a wakizashi.

What do you mean by crap metal, the sword was forged with high carbon cruicible steel. Japanese Tamahagane is quite simmilar and behaves in about the same way.

Amazing!!! Not only great craftsmanship but to have to the understanding of your materials to seemingly pull off both 'difficult' and 'lost' arts using modern materials and techniques is just spectacular! Was this 'Wootz' a happy accident or did you know the springs you used had the correct constituents? Maybe I am missing the point..?

for future reference if you decide to make more japanese inspired weaponry, you should always clay and quench the blade as one of the final steps before polishing and should never sand it afterwards lest you lose your hamon line
