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!

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.

What many have failed to notice is your incredible hand precision without mesuring anything. Amazing,truly. I like to make some simple knives as a hobby and i know how hard it can be.sometimes even if i mesure 2 times i don t get lines as good as yours.I hope i can reach your level.

That looks like a Roblox sword by now

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.

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🙂

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.

Now that is hard work talent! Forging a weapon takes a lot of energy.

i love restoration videos but what sets you apart out of the rest is that you make something new and different from what was originally given. on top of that, making everything from scratch takes mad talent.

Great work there, just a thougt, maybe it will help if you treat the wooden part with a transparent laquer just to preserve the good look . For the metal part the one protection i know is Camellia Oil , or other oil rich in unsaturated acids.,depends what's available on your side. Keep up the good work and all best wishes from Romania

Such skill, patience and craftsmanship, amazing.

The wakizashi is one of my favorite weapons. This made me happy.

Not everyone puts almond butter on their blades before setting them on fire... But you my friend, applies the perfect amount.. Looks delicious!

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.

a few problems, please use copper for ther hibaki to make it more traditional looking, make it a little less curved, the kissaki & bo-hi needs to be a bit more obtuse in angle and lastly use a bamboo peg to absorb the shock in the handle because metal transfers it

Impressive Could you please name all the compound, paste used for buffing and shinning, like the one you did before inducing the metal into fire.

This man has some skill on his hands, both in forging and choice of equipment

I'm gonna be a weeb here, but there was no folding going on here, I don't think we could call this a wakizashi. Definitely a majestic display piece and looks absolutely fantastic. And yes, I know, modern steel doesn't require the folding process due to being a much higher quality than the iron ore native to the land of the rising weeb stick, but I think that there's a couple of organisations out there that get really pissy about folks describing tools as 'katana' or 'damascus' or similar when none of the traditional methods were involved. I did love the hardening process, far too many hobbyists and layfolk forget you need to temper the blade or you've just got a very soft edge that'll be next to worthless after a few strikes. This was a joy to watch and a beautiful piece of work from start to finish. I wish I could still forge edged display pieces but my country has some very funny laws about that, so I'm stuck making blunts instead.

A blade as beautiful as that deserves a comfy home in a sheath/scabbard. 😁

Хороша сокира, в хазяйстві знадобиться 😅 Дуже красива робота 😊

Very nice work

So much hardwork. Now i know why that swordsmith was so mad at Tanjiro everytime he broke one

That was wayyy to clean and perfectly shaped I don't believe you got that out of them small amount of chain links that came from something else I believe

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...
