Forging Demon Slayer's Mysterious Katana Sword - Type Zero

Denis Tyrell sent me the invite and I accepted!
I've always wanted to build a katana and I finally had a reason to make one. Pairing it up with inspiration from the Demon Slayer series was the chef kiss. I knew exactly which sword I wanted to make: Type Zero.
This build was burdened with obstacles. I had never made 90% of the things required to make it. There were so many things to learn and because of that, it took me about a month to construct.
I'd love you to help me on my journey of bettering myself as a blacksmith/bladesmith/filmer via my Patreon: / rainydayforge
Another way to support me is by following this channel or finding me on other social platforms. See you there! And thanks for watching!
