    I have watched so many forging videos now I can’t even count them, and I’m thinking about starting a forge myself, as a hobby that is. But there is one thing that’s has been bugging me for a long time. When you’ve made the swords, where do they end up? Do you sell them to people, store them in a shed or put them on a shelf for show off? That’s the thing I’d like to know before starting to make swords myself

I wish you could give it proper hamon or temper lines, it wont just make it beautiful but will add some stregth to the edge. Second, i wish you wrapped the handle with ray skin or something rough so the string wrap wont move when handling. Thanks. Hope this will help you in your next build. Keep safe bud.

    This katana turned out amazing. There was no gap between the handle and the guard. The cable was really cool. The blade reflects more than my mirror.

    Seen a few videos like this one recently, v impressive work and project. Curious to know how this method of hardening for this purpose (sword) compares to more traditional sword making techniques (folding, etc). I’m probably over simplifying things.

    • @chrismichaelyoung
      @chrismichaelyoung 3 года назад +2

      It appears he made the spine of the sword just as hard as the edge, so it's hard but brittle. Likely to break if used. Normally, the spine is covered in clay before placing in the forge so it doesn't harden, allowing for more flexibility when used. This is where the curve of a katana comes from as the unequal hardening warps the sword into its spine. Also, folding the steel into damascus aligns the molecules in the blade parallel with each other, giving the sword even more strength in flexibility.

      Yeah but with traditional sword making you don't have 1080 steel like they use with tools so the metal he used is already high quality. I do agree with the hardening and using the clay for the spine. It probably is more brittle then traditional katana hardening

    Fantastic! I was hoping that you would do a stingray handle though. I love seeing that in the traditional katanas. Great work none the less
