    I never intended to watch the entire video but I couldn't stop watching. My karate sensei (RIP) was a Korean war vet and spend years in the Far East including Japan. He owned a composite wakizashi. By composite I don't mean composite material, but the different parts of the sword (blade itself, tsuba, endcap, and handle ) that you so beautifully fabricated were from different eras. But the soul of the sword, the blade, was from the 17th Century. He removed the handle to show me notches in the tang certifying that the sword had been tested presumably on the bodies of dead convicts, if it's true that they tested it that way. It was a stunning work of art and from that day on the wakizashi became my favorite length sword.

    This is fantastic!
    I am Japanese and I would like to note a few things that I found interesting.
    In this video, a single block of iron is simply beaten and stretched, but originally, the method used is to fold the iron over many times to remove impurities.
    The iron is then wrapped around the relatively soft core iron and heated by wrapping it with a hard steel core iron.
    This process makes it possible to achieve both sufficient sharpness and strength!

      Folding it is also what gives the sword its wave pattern

      As far as I know (and of course I'm not an expert in any way) they folded the iron hundred times because Japanese furnaces couldn't reach high temperatures like the European ones, in wich it wasn't necessary.

    This is an impressive build, the forging and manufacture of fittings was excellent. Assembly wise it would have been nice to see some ray skin & rice paper being used on the Tsuka wrap, also using a metal pin is not ideal, you should probably swap for bamboo or buffalo horn, metal pins can deform on a large impact and become jammed, that's why bamboo Mekugi are more commonly used. They are super cheap to buy.

    I'm gonna be a weeb here, but there was no folding going on here, I don't think we could call this a wakizashi. Definitely a majestic display piece and looks absolutely fantastic.
    And yes, I know, modern steel doesn't require the folding process due to being a much higher quality than the iron ore native to the land of the rising weeb stick, but I think that there's a couple of organisations out there that get really pissy about folks describing tools as 'katana' or 'damascus' or similar when none of the traditional methods were involved.
    I did love the hardening process, far too many hobbyists and layfolk forget you need to temper the blade or you've just got a very soft edge that'll be next to worthless after a few strikes. This was a joy to watch and a beautiful piece of work from start to finish. I wish I could still forge edged display pieces but my country has some very funny laws about that, so I'm stuck making blunts instead.
