To be compleatly honest, I wasnt expecting much when I clicked onto this video. However, seeing how much work you put in, the time you took, and how you handled it all really impressed and surpirsed me. I'm not some blacksmith or anything, but I can tell some serious work went into this. I knew that this was going to be good when i saw how you cut the tops of all of the nails off, as it really showed that you didn't cut corners. Great job man.
I have to admit, after reading the title I was skeptic, but you nailed it

mad respect to you for not cutting most corners and actually doing the work, unlike most other "forger" youtuber. Superb craftsmanship.

Beautiful katana! Like others said, gorgeous tsuba. Love it. The damascus turned out great, and I love your mixture of modern and traditional touches to the creation of this sword! Plus the inclusion of you patting out the fire on your apron/pants was a funny touch. Solid editing too. Keep up the great work!
1:28 what kind of powder are they sprinkling on that block of steel?
@@Mr.Red_D Most likely borax or some other flux. It's used in welding for preventing oxidization in the metal, but also commonly in forging. You see it a lot in layering or varying metal builds such as Damascus patterns. Helps the material stay together and form properly.
@@koruleigh978 Opps! Nice! Thanks for you answers.

Amazing work there! The katana literally looks so cool!
Watching every step of the process, and seeing the result at the end was just stunning. Remarkable work!
nice
Just thought I would share something I learned from a documentary about samurai swords:
Apparently, the way they get the swords to bow is by having a different metal in the center that applys tension when the sword is cooled, like a bi-metallic thermometer. This internal spring tension makes the sword stronger.
This is true
It's not really a "different metal", it's the fact that the application of clay to the spine of the blade allows it to cool slower, therefore becoming longer. Yes, the edge has a higher carbon content, but the thermal expansion of different carburizations of the same base steel have negligible differences. The mechanical properties of the steel are different, but the spine of the blade will still harden if quenched without clay. Other than that, this is an excellent summary.
@@saitama2467 Ed be
@@azazeres2917 did you see the documentary in question?
It sounds like you have a better understanding of the process than my fallible memory. 😀
If that's all it takes to put steel under tension, I hope more blacksmithing enthusiasts utilize the technique.
The light bulb for me was putting steel under tension, it made me wonder if the same could be done in other fields, like construction.
@@azazeres2917 wait, is that a typo on your part? The rear of the blade, or "spine" is shorter, causing the distinctive bow and putting the sword under tension.
とても綺麗な刀です！☺️
その昔、織田信長という1人の男が軍を作り、世界を統一しようと日本の数々を制圧していきました。順調かと思いましたが、仲間の裏切りにあい死んでしまったのです。しかし彼には優秀な2人の部下がいました。そのうち1人が軍を引き継ぎ、中国に攻め込み、その者死んでしまいました。残りの1人は世界ではなく日本を統一しました。
刀は人を錯覚させます。自分が強くなったという錯覚です。刀を持ってしまったら最後。死というものに真っ直ぐ向き合わなくてはいけません。
長くなってしまいました。

Absolutely beautiful blade such a nice Damascus pattern I’ve always liked watching a blade be made for some reason lol
Man, I was thinking when I first started watching that your method was unnecessarily labor heavy. But the finished product speaks for itself. Also I could never do this. Bravo! Very beautiful work!

Amazing to watch this with no background music, just simple and crisp real sound of every step. Great video experiencie for watchers. Thanks. Beautiful katana.
I was just complaining about this, nothing but a mic 1 ft away from every abrupt obnoxious noise, if you're shining shoes or drawing on paper sure, power equipment going from lows to highs is awful.
Finally a video of someone actually forging a sword and not just cutting iron bars in the shape of one! Great job
I admire your sincere attitude toward your katana.
The way you make your swords is just like that, and your careful work is very pleasing to watch.
The patterns on the ground iron are characteristic of the meteorite katana used by Takeaki Enomoto, and have a drawing power that draws you in.

I wonder how many comments you got from dummies claiming that a forge weeded katana isn't a real katana 😒 fantastic work man! Can never get enough of Damascus steel.
Its more tedious to make a traditional katana, but im happy that you didnt stray too far from it. Some other blacksmiths tend to fix the handle on the hilt with a glue.

Words cant possibly describe how wonderful and breathtaking it was to watch every step of the way. You did an outstanding and remarkable job!
Yeah
Is that blade and sorcery
ووووووووو♥️♥️♥️🥰
You can't say "words can't describe" and then describe how the experience was and how it made you feel.
@@clement9782 I would argue that their statement may have applied to the degree of how breathtaking and wonderful they felt. There is also the possibility that they can’t describe how they felt specifically and that breathtaking and wonderful were the only 2 words close to what could possibly be their explanation. There is also the perfect argument that sometimes we ourselves cannot exactly describe a sensation with pin point accuracy and therefore rely on words that are closest to describing that sensation.
Edit: Using the words closest to describe a sensation do not necessarily mean that the words have already met the condition of describing a sensation perfectly.
Bro that design you made on the guard was a piece of art man like holy cow, your katana was already beautiful, but that guard took it to a whole new level! AWESOME VIDEO AS ALWAY FF!

I'm amazed by people who can make weapons like swords or spears with only simple materials. Most importantly, it's iron or metal. 👍🏻
I watched the whole damn video and still am a little shocked he was able to do this with NAILS...
Wow. I came here expecting to see pattern welding being called Damascus. But I was surprised. Then he REALLY surprised me when he actually hammered out the bevel instead of grinding it. And he actually made it a full tang. AND THEN I see he actually knows how to use sharpening stones with water and not oil. I'm impressed.
Blade looks nice.
Well done.
I remember making my first Katana. Wasnt the prettiest thing but it has pride of place in my workshop as my first big project.
Cool I'd love to make a katana but iv only been forging since 2018 and havnt really been forging alot threw those years so for now I will stick with just making knives iv never even made demascus and I don't have a anvil or a press/power hammer I built my forge out of a Propane tank it's a coal forge
Wait, I didn’t know he was an artist too. Just breath taking.
Love how he set himself on fire then went right back to work. Respect
this dude maxed crafting stat in every single mmorpg game, surprising.
The amount of patience it took to do that is beyond my brain's ability to process. 😐🙌🏻
😂😂😂
I’ve found those briquettes work surprisingly well. Not as well as coal, but for small things they work well!
Looking at the process forging, hammering, grinding with the combination of traditional and modern(most of the time), i can't imagine how hard to create katana back to the history of making it totally traditonal yet perfect and legend.

If you handed me this sword and told me it was made from nails I would struggle to believe it, absolutely incredible work!
"Ohhh nice katana."
"Thanks"
"What metal is it made of?"
"Nails"
Believe it or not, a lot of traditional katanas are made from nails. If there is a shrine or some other historical site in japan that has either been condemned or needs repair/renovation, they will take the old nails out and use it to make a sword.
Nails are not a type of metal they are made of metal

Thats sick bro
Can’t imagine people were making swords without any machines used in the video back in the 1500s
of course they had tools. what xD

I did not know people back then used hands to make swords lmao
I meant modern tools used in the video

Your videography and editing are wonderful. This is top-notch, a real pleasure to watch. Good job.
型に流し込むだけかなと思っていたので、凄く感動しました。素晴らしかったです。有難うございました！
Amazed he didn't melt the nails all the way down. He just heated them all up just enough to flatten them into each other.
I could watch these videos all the time ...if I wasn't a chef I'd definitely be a blacksmith, such a cool job and I already don't mind the heat 😂 ..great work!
I swear to god when he goes to the hardware store,they probably have a bucket full of stuff ready fro him to make stuff out of

"Hey, can you make a sword out of-"
"I'mma stop you right there. Is it made of metal?"
"Well... yeah, kinda."
"Then I can make a sword out of it."
Out of curiosity, why did you cut the heads of the nails off? To make them sit more evenly when welded?
I was wondering the same thing. I think a lot of time an energy could have been saved simply by alternating the direction of the nails, odd numbered nails with heads on the left and even numbered nails with heads on the right. I think the completed welded "sheets" would still have been relatively flat and by alternating the direction of each sheet they would stack relatively even with each other to assemble the same kind of fairly squared "ingot" to work with. I'm more inclined to agree with your second question that cutting off the heads were so that would lay completely flat with less potential for movement during welding. Technically to weld the nails in the alternating pattern I previously mentions you would need something like a bar of 1084 seen at the 3:25 mark that you can lay the nails across allowing for the lengths of them to rest even with each other on the flat of the bar while the wider heads could overhang the edges of the bar without touching the welding table.
From what I know, I believe he used "Ram-Set" Nails, which are a heavier duty, and harder, nail used in a Ram-Set driver to bind things to concrete, and cutting those heads would make for a more even billet

Can you count? 0+0 is still 0
This is not I slight in any means but something I’ve read that I thought was interesting. In Japan they don’t make the blade into the handle quite like this, the blade and handle are held together by a pin that will break in order to protect the blade. It’s the reason Samurai would flick their katanas after a battle, to check the pin was still in contact.
Is nobody concerned about the holes and porosity along the whole surface of the katana? After the first polishing (7:16), they seemed like they were quite deep. I guess they might be caused due to the empty spaces between nails and guess it might be avoided if you would bended it over itself a few times while forging, taking out air and debris. After revealing the damascus pattern, they are less noticeable but I'm not sure how well it will stand against hits or accidental fall-offs. Considering the tip of the blade was cut-off and hammered to shape, it might break easier than if bent and hammered respecting the whole Damascus inner structure. I also missed some cutting tests after finishing the edge to check whether it is such a razor blade. In case this is just for decoration, this is a nice and beautiful job. Anyway, congratulations also on the idea of nails which took me here in the first place.
Those might be reflected of the table
It was just the pattern

And they say that crafting in videogames is unrealistic
20 metal= Damascus Katana
he did use as bunch of modern machinery along the way, so there is overhead beyond some coal stoked fire and a lump of metal. but i take yer point, in a pinch, you could salvage very little to create or make something anew.
For his next video, he's going to show everyone how to make a battlecruiser using popcans....... Hey, after these videos, I'd freaking believe it O_O!!!!

does swords have a gender]
Fuck does this mean
Everything looks amazing, but as a woodworker myself the use of poplar seems like a very odd choice. I assume you chose it for its workability but I definitely think a sword of that fine craftsmanship deserves to be paired with something fine and expensive, like purple heart, ipe, bubinga, cherry, or black walnut
good wood is expensive isn't it?
I heard using nails for a sword and thought canister Damascus would be the pick. This is even better.

"What?

Congratulations! Your NAILS evolved into a freaking KATANA!"
Admirable work, the precision and skill you employ is stunning.
I do have to mention though, we need to stop calling these "Damascus steel". The actual recipe and pattern for Damascus steel is not currently known anymore, and anything resembling it made today is a guess at most. I get that it brings in interest, but most people don't know about the actual meaning of Damascus steel and they can be fooled by incorrect labeling of it.
I'm not sure how to phrase this but I'll do my best. Is it truly not Damascus steel? I understand that it's not what it originally was, however it is what one generally expects when one says that something is Damascus. It's akin to language, a word is defined by it's use, not by the dictionary. The definition of words change over time and a dictionary is meant to explain that use, not the other way around.
Sorry that this was a bit of a tangent and may not actually Make sense.
@@refrigeratorNO Damascus steel refers to a historical technique used for a certain type of pattern welded steel. I normally would agree with your points, if this were not just pattern welding advertised as Damascus steel.
People are fascinated by the idea of Damascus steel because of its rarity. It's easy to get views by throwing the term around.
Problem is, pattern welded steel is already pretty cool. There is no need to lie about what it is. If someone manages to unearth the recipe for Damascus steel, it would be truly amazing. But no matter how much the term gets misused, Damascus steel is a type of pattern welding, and not all pattern welding is Damascus.
@@DS_DoggerX a traditionalist and a modernist cross paths...
A fairly consistent distinction is made between the lost art of Wootz Damascus and modern pattern welded Damascus. The term Damascus for pattern welded steel is used by ABS and other bladesmithing organizations.
@@DS_DoggerX true damascus steel has nothing to do with any form of pattern welded steel. the pattern on true damascus blades forms from the microstructure of the blade itself because of rare minerals in the steel such as vanadium. the recipe for true damascus steel has never been lost. we have the recipe today. people have made true damascus blades and replicas in modern times.
