Just seen a vid on Alec Steele's channel where he used welding rods to make Damascus and they turned into hexagons. could be a good idea for a futuristic looking Damascus sword.
So... Were you really bored and decided to make something ridiculous or were people constantly asking you to do this and you finally got tired of the whining?
The fact that he put that much work in the memiest sword I've seen in a while just amazes me, like true mastersmith dna, this was just for giggles but was flawlessly constructed, other channels don't put the effort even in their main builds.
You say goofy but Kyle made everything other detail besides the blade correct...... Also he did it with Harbor Freight tools which I think shows how its not the tool but the person
This Is the most elegant MAKESHIFT approach to make an unnecessarily complicated Zombie-Apocalypse katana, made by a guy that usually makes GOD LEVEL LEGENDARY ITEMS FOR NO REASON
This is proof that even at his least serious, Kyle is far better at making sharp things than I will ever be. Also, did he deliberately choose the slowest and most infuriating ways of doing things for this vid?
I think it's more showing you can make cool stuff too, everything he used was very easily and relatively cheap to obtain to the normal person as opposed of using large purpose built machines... just my observation
thing is, this is actually genius for a zombie-apocalypse situation, where the main weakness of a katana as a melee weapon(vs zombies) is its durability, a fully replaceable blade completely solves that problem. razors like that usually come in oiled-up packs, too, so you would likely find them in still usable condition for several years.
@@jamesbizsbecause just because something is sharp doesn't mean it will cut tatami mats. It's got plenty of very slightly misaligned corners that can catch on things, and razor blades are flimsy as hell so it surprised me that they held up for more than one cut without snapping in half. Of course it's going to be sharp, but cutting through tatami mats takes sturdiness too.
There is something so mesmerizing about the fact that you made a classic Katana in the traditional style (stingray skin handle, etc.) and then made the blade out of utility knives. So cool!
I only realised today I wasn’t subscribed to you, as someone who also works with metal, the sheer time and effort to get the finish on what you do and for it to be technically immaculate is nothing but a stunning achievement of discipline and I almost feel people don’t appreciate that aspect for the way you almost make what is incredibly hard to do to look naturally effortless, regardless of inherent talent, it is consistency over years with unwavering focus.
man, feel like this would have been a perfect video to uploaded on 1st of april, but still the attention to detail is hilariously good !! keep up the good work
Honestly I thought you were done when you screwed in the blades the first time, but then you went and refined it to a work of art. That was fun to watch.
I expected this video to be shorter when I clicked on it. I thought you'd attach the razor blades and immediately try it, but you went into great detail on what I assumed to be a pretty bad sword. The best of it all is that not even for 1 second was I ever bored watching this video, and I was pleasantly surprised when you proved my assumption on the quality of the sword wrong. And that last edit with you cutting the mat with the grunting sounds and then rewinding it was *chef's kiss*. 10/10
You’ve sparked the idea, now you have to make the most finely crafted katana the worlds seen. Combine your perfectionism and flare for the dramatic in the steel and make a katana an ancient Japanese lord would make you untouchable for.
@@jackmeoffer9334 lmao I never said it never happened? I said a "real katana" dosent need 11000 folds that's not the origin of the katana...or do you not know the history of the katana..lol
This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen on UA-cam. The fact it’s such a silly idea but you shot the whole video silently when your other vids are on very serious artisanal masterpieces full of your goofy jokes is just the beginning. This is the comedy version of the incredible knives you normally make, 10/10
LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!!!!!!!!! This video is a testament to the notion of, just because you are the best at something and make amazing art, doesn't mean that you can't be a goofy guy! I LOVE how you have become more and more comfortable in front of the camera over the years. And I love how much more goofy the edits keep getting! Keep it up, Kyle and Josh!
I had that idea ages ago, but was too afraid of wasting time on a project that I wasn't sure would even work correctly. Thank you so much for disproving my pessimistic hypothesis. Now I totally won't make a similar style dagger for conceal carrying..... (Sorry if my English is bad by the way)
Now all your fans will want to see you do a serious katana build. You looked like you had a lot of fun with that, and we would love to see how you’d both honor the traditions of Japanese sword making, while incorporating your own unique style!
This is hilarious and had me laughing out loud all the way through, BUT it's also a testament to how the right tool is often the one you have. Every goofy fab decision in this video had a lovely result. Thanks for all the great content!
Kyle, you're such an artist at heart, you can't even make a piece of crap without making it perfect. Also, quite the comedian too. Great video. Great slow-mo shots. You truly are an artist. Best knife maker in the world! 💪
It is amazing that even for a "goofy" project you manage to keep the quality of the build top-notch. Amazing work, would love to see a series of a katana same as Excelsior and The Griffin Sword.

If you could do this you aren't unemployed as you could definitely make nice money from smithing and making content, but yes, funny joke
Up until recently, i used to be that friend. I miss those times. Now i work at Subway
If thats the level of drive they have then gonna be self employed friend soon

I don’t think so. you know how expensive all the shit he’s using is?
Now we all want to see Kyle make the fanciest katana ever uploaded to youtube.
Yes!!!
Oh yes!!!
HELL YES!!!!!!
lol yeah i pretty much just said the same thing before seeing your post
what do you mean?! he just did!
The fact you pull it off with small/hand versions of shop tools you could get at local store is a nice nod to the enthusiast starting out.
This video feels so different to the usual yet it somehow resembles him well 😂
Of course it does! Who else in the world would have the patience to carve and refine slots for the disposable blades? 😂

Seeing you randomly slash the bush at the end with your new sharp sword is probably the most relatable thing I've ever seen you do on your channel
Hahaha, I straight up thought that broken sword was the one you had been working on, Kyle Royer is the best!
Why Kyle should never be left alone! 😂😂
This... is some cutting-edge content!
Nice pun
Always inspiring to see a master smith working at the highest level of the craft with only the best materials.
bro you are awesome! gave me a lil scare at 14:00 I thought you were going to swipe your leg .
me too!
@@KyleRoyerKnives 🤣
Safety is number one priority.
Whoa! The flash backs I just got from this one comment💯
That's awesome. Especially because you don't even have to sharpen it, just replace the edge!
Awesome idea, man.
Wow, I never would've guessed making an authentic japanese katana requires so much precision work. Excellent job!
The upside is that you never have to sharpen it because you can just replace the blades.
Imagine if this was the only Kyle Royer video you'd ever seen
The fact that this actually cut as well as it did had me.. impressed? confused? idk you tell me
They are razor blades. Why wouldn’t it cut well?
Surprisingly, razor blades are where the "razor sharp" expression come from

Great video! From 13:15 when the watermelon got devoured, it just got more and more unhinged!! Brilliant!!
the one at the tip was killing me... why not trim it down to fit the forged "blade"?
Not gonna lie, I love this. It's so silly but done so meticulously I cannot help but admire it.
this was the best and quietest 14 minutes I've had in a while
It cut much better than I thought it would.
Words cannot express how much I love the pure, unadultured gremlin energy this video is giving off.

And very happy that even with such a relaxed video, the quality has not been compromised. 😊
This dude is just amazing, that personality and humor yet highly skilled and intelligent. Right down my alley.
I actually really like how you showed how this can be done with less fancy tools!
Wow a sword with interchangeable blades - excellent. If it doesn't cut blame Gillette !!
