There's absolutely nothing traditional about this, but a fun DIY project nonetheless..

Technically, traditional hand forged katanas are what we today call Damascus. Not actual Damascus steel, but folded in on itself numerous times to remove impurities and strengthen the metal, also give it a textured pattern. If you look close at a real katana it has tons of tiny, subtle lines all over like "Damascus" pattern. The Japanese call it the Ji-hada or "Skin" of the metal.

Days ago I bought 2 katanas and as a sword fighter watching you making them is just delightful

Goodness gracious my katana build took way too long. I don't have many power tools, so doing it by hand with mostly small, cheap tools, is a genuine exercise in patience.

The straightness of the blade makes it look almost like a ninjato rather than a katana. Beautiful work all the same

You know it's funny that every time I watch videos like this and they do that speed up process during the forging the buzzing sound made sounds like something you hear from a bug zapper.

Meu amigo.uma verdadeira obra de arte 👏👏👏

I've wondered do you just display all these fantastic blades on your walls because they are always so pretty?

its amazing to see how your ability has increased over the times and your items got better and better

this is gorgeous, I would love to own something like this it's my style completely!

Epic. I love watching people with amazing talent like that, shame KZread is mostly pushing giggly gamergirls with no skills. Beautiful piece.

Beautiful work, the pattern could've been finer with more folds, but it's still gorgeous all the same. Love that you preserved all of the natural pitting on the wrought-iron tsuba, gives the sword a very natural vibe. 😁

Awesome job, love the finish product

Hi Keaton, met you at Snowport... thanks for the selfie :) Great stuff! will pass along a pic of my wooden Katanas when I get a chance. All the best, Keith

Besides the few inclusions, looks really good. Alot of hard work there, well done.

Amazing!!! Being made from motorcycle chain its probably a bit heavier than a traditional Katana....but this is gorgeous!!!

This is so cooool. You’re an artist. Also, can you show us how you prevent dissimilar metals (galvanic) corrosion? Steel in contact with bronze will accelerate corrosion and just eat right though quickly. Wondering how you curb that.

I always see these in my feed and I'm like I don't want to watch that whole thing so I don't click on it. And then I still watch the whole thing in silent preview mode.

Amazing skill.

Man just watching videos like this where these guys forge such nice looking swords like the Japanese Katana the sharpest sword in the world is both amazing and remarkable and I'm sure Japanese swordsmiths would be both proud and honored at the hard work and craftsmanship that is put into this work.

What is the point of the white out?

I'm waiting for someone to decide to forge a Dragon Slayer sword, at least in a smaller version)

i wish you'd make the scabbard as well..

Would be nice to have closeup, slowmo video following entire length of blade

Another gorgeous piece! Thanks again!

Beautiful sword, awesome video. Subscribed.

Good job 👍

Wow! That is a good looking sword.

Some lucky person will own this sword a thousand years from now.

Add another set of that metal would give ya 2 pairs of extra layers better durable bladed sword but awesome video anyways 👍😍👌

Because I am inherently lazy and frugal, I suggest using an ultrasonic cleaner when you are putting the powder into the casing. It will vibrate the powder fast and any you spill will be right there in the pan.

looks good for a wall hanger. too many voids for a functional blade. but good work

Work of art

Always amazing to watch 👏👏

Оуу да... Как будто этот меч ковали гномы из куска горы. Вы не питаетесь сделать меч идеальным, вы делаете его уникальным и в каком-то роде живым. Гарда или цуба особенно красива.

idea for you... use your cut offs and grinding slag to make a wootz style blade.

Work of art! Perfection

Beautiful katana❤❤

where is the Hamon? Although you missed the clay tempering process, but i appreciate your work

If you let the white out dry before filling the canister it will peel off a lot easier

Do the Star Saber from Transformers Armada!

Excellent job! But every katana is not complete without its scabbard... 😉

Гарно. Та дамаська катана все одно що японський фальшон.

That is BEAUTIFUL!!!! 👊🏻👊🏻

Absolutely amazing.

👍👍👍... Good²... 🙏.

Beautifull work!

shouldn't the center of the set be just plain iron? hard steel on the outside and a soft iron core? with this construction, shock loads are distributed evenly, the blade bends but does not break.

Beautiful blade, but i missed the hamon line.

And you would be correct talking from a historical perspectiv. What we today call damascus steel aint true damascus steel its an umbrella term for patternwelded steel. True damascus steel came from a certain mine/mines.

良く出来たナイフですね。KATANAではないけれど。

Pretty good. Awesome in fact. Are your swords functional ?

There's one significant difference I saw between what you did here and what other blacksmiths do, and thats oil tempering the blade at ~200°C rather than tempering it in an oven. I can see how this could be better than tempering in an oven due to there being no oxygen present in the oil, whereas oxygen would be present in an oven (unless you wrap the bade in stainless steel beforehand), which could run the risk of scale forming. So, while somewhat messy, I think I prefer the oil tempering you use here 😄👌👍 I also like how you show that not all projects are 100% perfect, the inclusions in the blade here is a prime example, they may look cool due to the forging process, but I forsee their being a weakness that make this sword very nice, expensive and pretty ornament?

@FarawayForge

Жыл бұрын

I did the oil temper for two reasons, 1. the blade was too long for my oven; 2. I wanted to get it into temper as quick as possible so that it wouldn't have any time to potentially crack after heat treat. That being said oil tempering can be EXTREMELY dangerous if not handled safely and/or if not done outside, if you ever attempt it please be super careful, I know a guy that burned his shop down oil tempering a blade. And yea unfortunately there were a few inclusions in spite of being a canister. Fortunately they seem to be mostly superficial, but I still wouldn't put it through any serious testing.

@GaisaSanktejo

@@FarawayForge Thats fine my friend and I both understand why you chose to oil temper the blade and totally agree; oil tempering is *dangerous*. I don't have the facilities to even consider smithing, so I won't be forging or tempering anything for the forseeable future, but that doesn't stop my enjoying other people's work and learning by proxy, so to speak. As for the inclusions? I agree. Still, a lovely ornament.

Im no pro but i think a blade must have gone thru some special treatment during forgin and som other things to be calls a katana. Nive work and blade doh🎉

Where do you sell this katana and how much does it cost?

Very nice work , thank for sharing 🙏
