Forging a KATANA out of Rusted Iron CABLE
Ғылым және технология
Fine, this Katana took me endless time to make and this was not easy to make it such perfect. A lot of Viewers asked me to make Katana so i tried to make most perfect Katana Sword that i can.
Overall Sword Length : 35 Inches
Handle Length : 8 Inches
Blade Length : 26 Inches
Some of the Processes of making this beautiful KATANA:
Forging:
It took me almost five days to prepare and hand forge Iron Cable piece into a long Metal Strip and this was one of my most complicated forging ever. I don't have any power hammers so all the forging as well as welding i did with hands and turned a cable piece into an almost 34 - 35 inches curved steel strip.
Grinding:
I make some rough grindings of curved strip on my new Belt sander and turned the strip into a well shaped steel Katana workpiece. I also hand sanded all the edges of the sword with help of flat file to remove almost all the roughness.
v. I made the blade bevel with a help of flat file.
v. The Blood Groove was made by my professional angle grinder.
v. Sanded the blade to remove roughness.
Hardness:
There is few professional ways to harden a Katana and one of them is (Insulation) Covering all the sword in Heat-Resistant clay exept blade edge. After that we heat it into the fire to critical temperature. We use water to quench only the Bevel part of the heated sword. Now the bevel is hard and remaining sword is more soft. Best way to increase Strength, Toughness and Hardness of the sword is tempering.
Habaki:
This is wedge shaped metal piece traditionally made by forging some brass or copper but also we can make it by using thick brass sheet. And it is used to support the Handle fittings below.
Handle:
Handle consists of four parts.
v. GUARD: The purpose of the guard (Tsuba) is hand protection and balancing of the sword. I made it by casting brass metal and turned into a beautiful piece which separates the handle and the sword.
v. Kashira: Kashira is a roundly turned brass piece which caps the end of the handle.
v. Spacer: This is thin little piece which fits on tang and seals all the handle parts so everything is securely fixed.
v. Wood: Any light wood covered with soft leather uses as a handle of the sword, this can be wrapped with a cotton strips.

Love the blade just one nit pick. I wish you would have maintained the 90degree edge on the spine of the katana in order to better catch blades and be a stronger impact point to bludgeon.

Imagine how these were done in the old days without power tools. Just hammers and Sharpening Stones.
Got to be one of the best katana-making video! Amazing and ingenious metal art!
First video I’ve watched on your channel. Your skills are as varied as they are incredibly honed. Kudos to you for having followed/pursued a dream/love of something and attaining such a masterful set of skills. This Katana is a particularly beautiful piece. It’s plain see how much time and effort goes towards the creation of something that, at its completion, looks SO good!
I like your work bro 👍🤩💪
A very lovely, simple, elegant blade
Its nice to watch people making decorative stuff. It always makes me smile when i see someone making a less harmfull version of an actual weapon.

@@trankked6672 tho its not toxic. Katana is not without a reason forged way different. This is simply something i like to call "american katana". Its not just slapping some clay along a forged and grinded blade. There is much more to it and manydifferent styles for a variety of outcomes. I used to blacksmith but never bothered myself with katanas because i knew the only one i can make is american one. To make a propper katana it takes a ton of learning and patience.
Your ability to swing the katana is impeccable to say the least. The fact you hear the "whoosh" means you're swinging perfectly straight. You have tons of power in it too, just look at the control at 5:45. That spin is no joke.
Absolutely stunning work. 👊🔥👊
Saludos desde Medellín. Una gran obra arte mi gran amigo, felicitaciones por su trabajo.

I mean this both aesthetically, and quite literally... That is one sharp sword!
Beautiful job thank you very much for sharing with us you made it look easy
Damn! You've really got some skills. Props to you! Thanks, for the upload.
Good evening Sir. Congratulations on your artistry and persistence. I understand the sweat that contributed to this magnificent blade. Beautiful and strong. There are few men of honor that deserve such a sword. I wish there were more. I pray that the blade brings peace and wisdom to all who face it. Peace, Love, and Charity!

This is beautiful
it really has both lookwise and performancewise. it really is well done
The sewing machine outdoors is my favourite part, loved it hahaha
This honestly of my best watch making katana from old rusty metal materials it's also one best quality and shape and how it's made im impressed 🤩🤩🤩........ can't wait to see another project in next video keep improving
You are not almost perfect....you are fully perfect.. ❤️ From....🇮🇳
Wire rope is most commonly made out of high carbon, non-alloy (without chromium, magnesium, etc.) steel, so properly heat treated that thing will hold the edge real good with really high hardness factor, and since it was differentially hardened it has high hardness edge and much lower harness spine so if any cracks develop, they won't brake the whole blade in half. This thing looks BEAUTIFUL, especially the blade!
I love the skill and the time it takes to make them
你製作的武士刀相當精美，尤其是 3:44 的部分是值得注意的重要部分！
Olha fiquei impressionado com esse trabalho nunca imaginei que uma katana fosse forjada dessa forma🇧🇷🇧🇷
It would be an honour to see you in action in the show Forged in fire!👌
this katana was just right, both the curvature and the shine, mt good guy keep it up making unbelievable things out of scrap, maybe one day I'll even buy it from you
That was amazing! Awesome workmanship and skills. Beautiful Katana!👊
Man! It just a piece of Art. Much Love From 🇧🇩
I needed a knife for outdoor kitchen work and especially for bushcraft. Amazing craftsmanship! I love the handle, the blade, its sharpness, I love how it weighs, I love the colors and size, and length. Everything! Beautiful work! Thank you so much Almazan Knives for such a great knife.

Such abnormal skills, unbelievable great videos
2:45 Most impressive thing. Awesome skill!
ill be honest never have i seen someone complete a sword with a canister weld using a rusted out pipe and without handling it i cant speak for its balance but all in all she looks beautiful your brass work as always is top notch 8/10 damn good work i just always worry when it comes to steel cable on how clean the welds are.
All very impressive. BUT that straight line after forging the blade was perfection. I could never
Very good !!! The cable inside the pipe !
Wow, perfect, i loved, keep working bro, you are the best, good luck always ❤
VERY nice, I was originally given the impression you were going to use more of the cable in a cannister and acid etch the final product, but the final result here is still a work of art regardless of my original misconception
You won a new subscriber, Big respect 🙌💪🏆
Your work Genuinely amazing.

После просмотра видео появилось пара вопросов. 1. Клинок же не из троса, верно? На готовом мече не видно ни одного непровара, хотя трос был ржавым, грязным и неоднородным, он в принципе не мог свариться так чисто, да и мы неоднократно могли бы увидеть структуру стали, но мы не увидели. 2. Куда делся момент видео, где вы закалили клинок уже без обмазки, т.к. первая закалка не прошла успешно?)

Wow, great job! I have a question, wouldn't the rust on the cable prevent a good weld when in the tube and you're making a billet? (I love watching Forged in Fire, lol.)
@LightBrand
2 жыл бұрын
Anything will forge weld if you hammer it enough or at higher temp but traditionally you don't want to use high temp (or in other words, you want to use the lowest possible temperature) when forge welding for better metallurgical properties such as being able to be ground thinner and edge sharpened at a lower angle. And better quality steel will allow you to do that. So then the difference between a final product made from substandard material vs high quality is nothing if it's a shelf piece or used for one cut and done. Otherwise it'll reflect clearly upon repeated use/abuse.

Great content really, fine job! Only part to nitpick is about the length of the hilt for me, as traditionally a katana is a two hand sword, no matter the length of the blade. Just saying...
Красиво и круто! Молодец!
Awesome I truly loved it amazing
Efficient and well made 👌 👏 👍 😌 😉
Это было великолепно. Мое почтение.
How did the cable weld to the rusty pipe with all the air gaps and outer rust? The Borax flux surely wouldnt have been able to stop occlusions and produce such a prisitine piece of steel?
@no.step.on.snek.2423
2 жыл бұрын
Heat and pressure. The borax just creates a pocket of gas around the billet.. similar to how the flux.on a arc welding rod works as its burning.. the borax turns into a gas as it melts, and this creates an enviroment around the part being welded , where air cant be..

I think technically the borax prevents oxygen from touching the metal preventing forge scale...but i dont see how that got rid of the already existing dirts rusts and greases he failed to clean off in prep. Also if he truly made cable Damascus...why not etch to show the pattern?
