japanese sword practitioner and teacher here! This was so cool to watch. It's definitely some strange wall hanger version of the real thing but its not nearly as flimsy from it's appearance as a modern one . Maybe some older dated variation of a wall hanger/ decor item? not sure , either way nice restoration!
The Tang was the give away. The Japanese swords I’ve messed with have a full tang or a tang the same size as the blade. Most are held in place with a single pin. They have a Tsuba that is a copper or bronze piece in front of the guard, oval shims between the tusuba and guard and handle. The handle is usually wood with manta skin glued to it with leather or string wrapped with a certain pattern and two brass pieces held in place by the String as markers for where to put your hands. The brass piece in the hilt is what the string is ran thru. That is my very limited understanding of Japanese katana and wakazashi construction. I’m sure things vary, but a rod wit a nut on the end is not Japanese at all. Your addition made the blade much better than the mockery you started with.
Let me share my little knowledge about this... Japanese katana is mostly made out of tamahagane ( bloom steel ) since japanese back on the period where they have a limited access to a quality steel.. so they made it by themselves... Most katanas have a specific characters and design and for japanese, the katana tht made with tamahagane is considered as a piece of arts.. so, in modern nowadays.. any types of katanas tht modernly made or using a high carbon 1095 or 1060 steel instead of tamahagane, is considered as a mere weapon... but take a note tht these regulations is only used at japanese.. so in my opinion, because the tamahagane is considered as a rare materials and hard to find in nowadays.. so that's why they considered in that way.. Many modern katanas are produced in various types of forms... And the one in that videos is blade with rat-tail tang and most bladed weapon tht made in tht particular tang is merely for display... And the blade is not thick compared to the original japanese katana.. The main parts of japanese katana is starting from the blade it self where the tip of the blade is called ' kisaki ' and the curve of the blade is called ' sori '. Going down to the bottom of the blade has a one piece of copper collar called ' habaki ' along with the spacers ( seppa ) tht assembled with the handguard known as ' tsuba '. The handle itself is called ' tsuka ' which is wrapped with the stingray skin known as ( samegawa/samehada ) and the diamond wrapping thing is called ' tsuka-maki '.. the two piece of brass thing on the handle is called ' menuki ' which the ornaments as decorations for the tsuka handle. And last but not least, the pin that holds the katana together is called ' mekugi '... So, for my personal opinion.. if we want to say wether the katana is original or not, is by looking at the blade and most japanese production has a natural hamon line due to the process of heat-treating and clay is applied on the blade which tht makes the hamon pattern.. and of course like I mentioned before, the katana that used tamahagane is the only one considered as originally made... While other types of katanas in nowadays is considered as a mere weapon.. I don't like to called it fake because it is function as the original katana do.. and even stronger due to the quality material in modern reproduction...
Full tang means it's the same width as the handle and the handle "scales" sandwich the blade like many steak knives. Katana are "enclosed" or "encapsulated" tang.
@@austinaxley81 most katanas are exactly the same width all the way down. But are not sandwiched with metal showing. I agree with the tang being the same width, but didn’t think the metal had to show. So if the metal doesn’t show and the tang is completely encased in the handle, what is that referred too? Just curious so I don’t make the mistake again.
Алекс, спасибо, отличная работа! Я почти уверен, что вы сделали почти настоящий вакидзаси из представителя семейства дешёвых китайских сувенирных клинков. В начале 2000-х мои друзья не редко привозили такие из Суйфуньхэ и Харбина. И качество металла, и прочие материалы... Вот прям оно. А по итогу такая прикольная штука получилась!)
@@ScrewsAndTools Здесь согласен с вами, подарок это вещь особая и ценен уже тем, что он подарок) У меня эти китайские сувенирки вызывают вообще дикую ностальгию. В мои подростковые годы, такой меч воспринимался чем-то нереально крутым, почти как настоящий) Так что, я испытал невероятно тёплые чувства увидев эту реставрацию)
Алекс, я могу дать вам несколько советов по поводу японских мечей. В данном видео была сувенирная Вакидзаси, это клинок короче катаны, носящийся иногда в паре с катаной. У всех японских мечей режущая кромка совмещена со спуском, поэтому если посмотреть на срез, будет прямая конусообразная форма. Рукоять обычно обматывается шёлковым шнуром, под определённые места которого подкладывается бумажные треугольники, по этой теме рекомендую поискать информацию в интернете. Хочу заметить что у вас получилось довольно неплохо, была проделана отличная работа. Успехов вам в будущем!
Ну как говорится в народе: "Если долго мучатся, что-нибудь да получится!" А эта штука заставила вас прилично так помучатся, от того и результат такой шикарный)))
Its a new age replica they are called mall ninja weapons here in the USA. You can get them for 35 or 40 dollars. This one looks like someone broke the blade and tryed to repair it but as always you did an awesome job and made it all your own and beautiful as always.

I'm 999% certain that's just a decorative replica. Likely Chinese-made, of the kind that is sold at "1 euro bazaars" in my country. I once bought nine of those in bulk. Because of the supports that came with them. Were worth more than the... swords. Good to see you showing your skills restoring things anyway, even if they are not worthy of restoration.
It was probably originally a cheap Chinese knockoff katana, what is known as “wallhanger” meaning purely decorative “sword-shaped object”. Too long to be a standard tanto, too short to be a standard wakizashi. Must have been cut down due to being broken some time before it came to you. Nonetheless you did better than should be expected with such an “art piece”. Me, I would have cut down the sheath to match the blade length but I’m not you… or the customer. In any case I’m very glad you did it and posted it. Always happy to see you work with a smile, bringing us smiles too. Beep beep!
Yeah I literally have this exact sword hanging on my wall right now same sheath and everything down to the last detail. Honestly not surprised there are are others just like it out in the world
Te quedo muy limpia y brillante, pero no se puede mejorar lo que de base es malo, igual buen trabajo, ojala puedas ver algun video de my mechanist para hacerte una idea de como hacer las cosas.
Yanno for a cobbled together art version of one it looked pretty good. I can see myself enjoying it on a wall in its original state. You definitely rocked out the resto mod though.
I would love to have an original companion blade something around 14” long would be sweet. I would really enjoy restoring items such as this, great stress reducing project for sure. You do great work.
I have the exact same design from a yard sale. I'm afraid it's not someone's art piece, but rather a cheap replica product mass-produced in China. Nevertheless, you still managed to turn it into something beautiful. Great job!
Hi Alex! Did you quench with oil or water? Figured this was a mid-level wakazashi, generally for display. Had some military friends who had a sovenier of this type.
Looking at it, I suspect it was something made to sell to tourists, or to someone living abroad who couldn't inspect what they were purchasing. The fact that parts of it were made from plastic is a bit of a giveaway. I'm no expert but I watch other channels where swords of all kinds are made from scratch, including katanas, wakizashis and tanto daggers. Doubtless the maker of this specimen did the best they could and put their heart and soul into it, but it falls well short of what most of us think of as 'authentic'. Nevertheless, you did a good job with it, and I hope it brings you pleasure for years to come!
Definitely someones attempt at a wakazashi unfortunately they didnt understand how they tang is supposed to work. It reminds me of the $30 katana I got as a kid. With a Rat Tang and nylon cord wrap. Too bad you didnt chop of the rat tail and weld a new tang on or just create a tanto out of it with new furniture. Regardless nice work at making this trash something useful. Keep up the good work!
Hi! Based on the fact that this is a gift, I did not completely change it, and I have not yet changed the shank because I do not have much experience in Japanese weapons, but I was very interested in it

Alex, I'd just like to let you know that your channel is probably my favorite on RUclips and you have inspired me to restore my first knife. I am a student and live in the United States in a big city and therefore don't have access to many of the same tools, or the same workshop space that you have. Despite this, when I went to visit my family abroad, I stayed with my grandmother in the countryside where my late grandfather had a shed and a bunch of old tools laying around. The morning after I had first arrived to the village, I immediately checked the shed for all of these instruments and some axes and found a long, possibly kitchen knife and I made it my goal to restore it in my two week stay at the village before returning home. At the moment of writing this comment, I have 3 days before my departure and am finishing up my restoration. Since it's my first restoration of any knife or tool, it is very flawed: I used a soft type of wood and wasn't able to fully fill all of the spaces between the knife and handle with epoxy, I also was not able to perfectly sand the handle down and it is therefore not entirely symmetrical or fully smooth to the touch, and I didn't have anything to make pins so I ended up cutting and shrinking the diameter of 2 steel bolts to fit the holes of the knife and the handle. Nevertheless, I am proud of my restoration and I greatly thank you for producing quality content and inspiring me to do this! Thanks Alex!
Greetings to you! Thank you so much for your kind words and attention. It was very interesting to read your story and I will tell you the following. When I did my first 5 jobs, they were the same as yours. To this day, I make mistakes and learn, this is normal. Good luck and success to you! Once again, I am glad of your feedback.
We all have to start somewhere. I've a childhood pocket knife which is first on my list; it's had a clean up and a sharpen, so it's once more in use after a month-long rusty mishap, and I've an old lump hammer for number two.
Здравствуйте, это дешёвое средство для удаления ржавчины. Бутылка ярко желтого цвета, называется Yeetis. Есть бутылки объемом 550 мл. И 2 литра. Чаще всего продается это средство в хоз. товаров.
The Katana is longer than the Wakizashi. The Wakizashi has a blade length 30 to 60 cm, which is 12 to 24 inches, and the Katana is over 60 cm, which is over 24 inches.
Всё отлично!!! Но вот прежняя гарда, на мой взгляд, поинтересней была. Новая уж больно шестерёнку напоминает, а они мне на работе уже осточертели. Повторюсь, - это моё личное мнение. Удачи!😊
Алекс, совершенно согласен с тем, что и шестерёнки и винтики делают своё дело, но... Когда эта гадская шестерня стоит на валу тридцатикилограммового фланцевого электродвигателя, а ты в позе "буквы Зю" громко матерясь пытаешься воткнуть его в редуктор, причём так что бы он и на шпильки сел и зубцы шестерни на валу в нужные места вошли... И когда эти зубцы не входят, а вал не провернуть потому что руки заняты, начинаешь верёхать весь двигатель, а он один чёрт не садится, а руки уже дрожат от усталости... Вобшем не люблю я шестерёнки....
It look weird someone make Wakizashi but with Katana's saya (scabard). Also all Japanese sword should be full tang. The tang should not look like in this video.
I’ve been watching this Restorer for a while. Good work but highly dislike that he never brings the blades to mirror shine. Beautiful shiny metal is the best.

Да это было что-то ну вот очень новое
@@ScrewsAndTools рад за Вас
still a great job man
Shouldn’t it be stingray skin on the handle?
Сразу же подписался на ваш канал, очень понравился процесс и особенно концовка))
Спасибо! Да в таком стиле много концов, поэтому велком.
When removed the handle there was no engraving to indicate who it belonged to. This knife is a fake
Скорее всего это новодел или китайская копия. У катаны на лезвии есть хабаки, хвостовик широкий и рукоять крепиться на бамбуковый пенек(типо заклёпки), у вакидзаси тоже самое. Но ваша работа шикарна)
Alex, I'd just like to let you know that your channel is probably my favorite on RUclips and you have inspired me to restore my first knife. I am a student and live in the United States in a big city and therefore don't have access to many of the same tools, or the same workshop space that you have. Despite this, when I went to visit my family abroad, I stayed with my grandmother in the countryside where my late grandfather had a shed and a bunch of old tools laying around. The morning after I had first arrived to the village, I immediately checked the shed for all of these instruments and some axes and found a long, possibly kitchen knife and I made it my goal to restore it in my two week stay at the village before returning home. At the moment of writing this comment, I have 3 days before my departure and am finishing up my restoration. Since it's my first restoration of any knife or tool, it is very flawed: I used a soft type of wood and wasn't able to fully fill all of the spaces between the knife and handle with epoxy, I also was not able to perfectly sand the handle down and it is therefore not entirely symmetrical or fully smooth to the touch, and I didn't have anything to make pins so I ended up cutting and shrinking the diameter of 2 steel bolts to fit the holes of the knife and the handle. Nevertheless, I am proud of my restoration and I greatly thank you for producing quality content and inspiring me to do this! Thanks Alex!
Greetings to you! Thank you so much for your kind words and attention. It was very interesting to read your story and I will tell you the following. When I did my first 5 jobs, they were the same as yours. To this day, I make mistakes and learn, this is normal. Good luck and success to you! Once again, I am glad of your feedback.
We all have to start somewhere. I've a childhood pocket knife which is first on my list; it's had a clean up and a sharpen, so it's once more in use after a month-long rusty mishap, and I've an old lump hammer for number two.
В какую жидкость погружается меч?
Здравствуйте, это дешёвое средство для удаления ржавчины. Бутылка ярко желтого цвета, называется Yeetis. Есть бутылки объемом 550 мл. И 2 литра. Чаще всего продается это средство в хоз. товаров.
The Katana is longer than the Wakizashi. The Wakizashi has a blade length 30 to 60 cm, which is 12 to 24 inches, and the Katana is over 60 cm, which is over 24 inches.
I realized that too, but later. When he took it out of the scabbard. I wrote about it that a gift is a gift)
Класс! Всё на высшем уровне!
Awesome always cool stuff always thanks 😎
He's opened a new skill tree!
So it turns out some turds CAN be polished! Nice work
Золотые руки Мастера!!! 😊
This was my favorite I love katanas
Всё отлично!!! Но вот прежняя гарда, на мой взгляд, поинтересней была. Новая уж больно шестерёнку напоминает, а они мне на работе уже осточертели.
Повторюсь, - это моё личное мнение.
Удачи!😊
Прежняя гарда была кусок пластмассы поэтому и заменил.. )) А что вам шестеренки то) они делают свое дело
Алекс, совершенно согласен с тем, что и шестерёнки и винтики делают своё дело, но... Когда эта гадская шестерня стоит на валу тридцатикилограммового фланцевого электродвигателя, а ты в позе "буквы Зю" громко матерясь пытаешься воткнуть его в редуктор, причём так что бы он и на шпильки сел и зубцы шестерни на валу в нужные места вошли... И когда эти зубцы не входят, а вал не провернуть потому что руки заняты, начинаешь верёхать весь двигатель, а он один чёрт не садится, а руки уже дрожат от усталости...
Вобшем не люблю я шестерёнки....
Why call it a Katana or Wakizashi ?!? You don't call a Ferrari a Volkswagen !!! 🤔
Its a rusted shitty stainless steel blade from a shopping mall or a cheap online anime store. Its not real. Its a fake display piece.
So much effort for a rat tail wall hanger. But solid work on the restore, just hope it was worth it. Looks like the restore wasn't cheap.
It look weird someone make Wakizashi but with Katana's saya (scabard).
Also all Japanese sword should be full tang. The tang should not look like in this video.
Why's the sheath longer than the sword
Good question!
a lot of firsts in this video
very well done
and oh yeah
beep beep
I’ve been watching this Restorer for a while. Good work but highly dislike that he never brings the blades to mirror shine. Beautiful shiny metal is the best.
Fabulous as usual, your attention to detail would drive me insane. Is the glue you use just regular pva?
That's not a Japanese katana, that's an imitation!
Excellent!
