  • Making Tanjiro's Katana from Demon Slayer by Ilya Alekseyev using traditional Japanese methods to bring Tanjiro's Katana to life.
    ➤Start streaming Demon Slayer and other anime sub and dub on Funimation: bit.ly/34iMA9I
    This Video is shot more as a Katana making documentary then a normal episode from us. During the making of the Tanjiro's Katana Ilya give quite a few talks about how anime relates to the art of Japanese sword making and how it effected the western culture as far back as the Renaissance and continues to do so today. In Demon Slayer this Nichirin Blade has a blackened color to it after Tanjiro wields it. So, after a hand stone polish the katana was then darkened using acid and the hamon was then finger stoned back into place. The Katana was forged from Tamahagane and made as close to tradition as possible. In this video we show every last piece of the sword being made even the Saya and the pieces that go with it. If you want to see a Katana making video that shows every single step then this is the one for you!

      While I agree that the process is fascinating, you have to accept that we don't NEED this thing. Modern materials are pure enough that folding only gets us steel with lower carbon content- thus an even more softer swords, katanas are already damn soft comparitively.
      Don't get me wrong, I have big respect for Ilya for going through this and his obvious skill.

Albeit I believe the attention to detail in the methods used to make this sword would be appreciated by a Japanese traditional master smith. Particularly Ilyas use of tamahagane, knowledge of how to make it, knowledge of stacking, his use of traditional materials to make the stack etc etc would be highly appreciated by a traditionalist. In short I think the smith would be quite pleased with the appreciation of their culture that iliya shows especially in contrast to other western smiths who sure can make something that looks like a katana but a traditional smith wouldn’t really call it.

    I honestly wish there were more videos like this. I don't care if this a recreation of a sword from a certain popular anime. It felt like I was learning something and witnessing something special being born. This was no ordinary recreation of something from a video game, TV show, movie, or book; it was basically that but cranked to 11. Such an amazing video, please make more content like this.
