Hello, I'm Japanese. I am writing English using Google Translate. In Japan today, there is a law that violates the Firearms and Swords Law, and it is not allowed to make or hold a sword, but I am proud that Japanese swords are known to the world in this way. Thank you very much.
Hi I’m Japanese. I’m amazed how it looks! If you do folding the soft heated metal and pounding for around 6 times then shape, it will be looking more stronger and beautiful! Also, using cray and coal mixed water and draw waves before the last bake session, it will gives great waves on it too!! :) Sorry if it sounded arrogant. I just wanted to give some more info cos it already looked very nice without them.
This isnt arrogant at all. It's hard to fully tell if someone is expressing positive or negative tone in a text, and very much different in person. I think this comment is very insightful and beneficial knowledge. Cheers.
Not arrogant at all, sir, only a gentleman who knows what he’s talking about; I’m proud to say that in my country, Spain, we also have great swords made in Toledo, famous for hundreds of years for their quality, strength and beauty. I wish you a good and prosperous day.
After watching Samurai Jack, you develop a totally new appreciation for katanas. Bamboo or otherwise. If I forged a sword of my own, katana or otherwise, I’d never set foot outside my house without it
I’m always very curious if any of these homeforged swords would actually hold up to the punishment that a sword from its respective time period would be expected to in real combat. Sure, they always look amazing, but I’d love to see one of them get put up to a rigorous but realistic stress test. Then if it passes it, push it beyond reasonable limits and see how much it can take before it fails.
Forged in Fire has had a few Katana builds over the years and they held up amazingly.. they were even able to split a bullet in half with no damage to the edge
The sword looks amazing, but i am afraid that one piece of chopstick holding the whole blade is a big weakpoint of the build. Even a kitchen knife has 2-3 points where the blade is fixed to the grip.
One of your most wonderful pieces i must say. Such elegence, and simplicity in both blade design and the way the bamboo holds everything up nicely and tight ! Great work ^^
He may not do it in the traditional way but he still uses the blacksmith methods, modernized and original. One things for sure doesn't matter how it's done as long as it's done right and with precision, dedication, patients, steady hands, and a determined soul, Anything you make will turn out a masterpiece and this is a masterpiece.
@@og3suso978 no actually if its folded its trach, you clearly dont know what the folding was actually done for, which is hilarious. thew folding was done specifically and ONLY to even out the impurities in the very low quality steel the japanese had access to, it literally only does that. they are short and thick aswell and that combined with the low quality stiff steel makes them especially brittle and very very prone to shattering.
@@moqhacker the iron used in japanese swords was low quality because they couldnt easily separate it from the sand it was it, and again, it was low quality steel
Opponent: Yo why did you bring a bamboo to a sword fight This guy: *smiles* [jokes apart imagine mistakenly grabbing an actual piece of bamboo before a fight]
Pause for the "I have acquired so much knowledge from watching several blacksmith channels on UA-cam and for this reason I will criticise this video and there for not enjoy a single second of it aswell as try to ruin it for anyone in the comment section." comments
@@jessicaxdg6909 nope I was being sarcastic, because there will always be those people who criticize the peoples work but have no real knowledge of what they are talking about
The katana is inherently straight, and bends due to the internal stresses of the metals during quenching, because it is a composite product. Several different steels are used there. You could use just one type of steel, but achieve a roughly similar effect with zone hardening. Which is also often used in the production of katanas. I'm really not sure if the result would be the same curved blade. But that would be closer to the original production technology. Otherwise: nice sword. Good job.
@@nopr1v4cy2 yes. As the blade cools during the quench it goes through a few distinct phases. Positive sori and negative sori. The spine being coated in satanite for example,allows the cutting edge to cool much faster than the spine. At high temps the phase is often called austenite, the rapid cooling of the material creates the second phase know as martensite.
@@5.56Chronicles Though to add, we might have to consider that the curvature generated from the quenching process isn't the sole reason in contributing to the blade's curve. These things were of course, were decided upon the smith.
Some of the western katana today have no soft core like the traditional Japanese swords which is the original way of making one. Traditional ones are more harder to make but last longer because the core absorbs the force and reduces blunt impact when in contact with solid objects. Solid steel like this will either snap in the center or chip bigger. The weight distribution should be in the hand area, and the tip weight must be lighter compared to the center, and hand area. hand area = heavy center area = medium tip area = light
the katana is made up of two metals, the heaviest on the edge of the blade, and the lightest on the top. I think it cannot therefore be defined as a katana
Man, that's so cool, katanas are so awesome and this was a really cool idea. Great work and effort, it definitely paid off! This is the type of ASMR I like to hear😂
not really, theyre pretty bad, thats the reason they were used more for just ceremonial purposes than actual combat and why the samurais weapon of choice were bows and polearms
On battlefield : spears, polearms and bows In everyday life : katana Katana are awesome for what they are designed to do, just like spears or other swords
I also thought he was going to make one of those. But since it had a curved blade i discarded the idea. I mean, from what I remember a shikomizue has a straight blade?
I would not consider this a katana, it has the curved blade and the general dimensions, but that's it. It feels more like a katana inspired saber than an actual katana.
Beautiful blade, nice work mate. It looks more like a Tachi, rather than a Katana due to its curve if I am not mistaken. Also no guard makes it quite dangerous (for the wielder), not to mention bamboo handle is quite fragile + very slippery for combat purposes. But it is hell of a blade nonetheless, looks gorgeous :)
It's a shirasaya. IIRC, some samurai started to carry these hidden blades (made to look like walking sticks) after swords were made illegal to carry in Japan. They didn't have a guard as that would make them a lot less hidden. They would only be more dangerous to those unfamiliar with their use. Though, thrusting with one of these... well, you'd better have strong hands and a good grip. The handle on this one doesn't inspire my confidence. Maybe it's stronger than it looks. I should say that I love the bamboo on this sword. I wish you could find more shirasayas like this but preferably with something done to the bamboo to strengthen it. That's probably why I can't find any.
@@GUNNER67akaKelt Ohh loved this bit of information, thanks mate. He actually cured the bamboo but that's usually for stopping cracks and/or shrinkage over time, doubt it makes it stronger.
you know im wondering how hard it must of been to forge a good weapon back in the old ages like 70 A.D like all these machines make it look easy but its still hard. They gotta do it by hand back then which is insane in my opinon
@@trueredlucky954 yea sure I guess, but look at 5:36 how would the helpers pull off something like that. You get what I mean? like to make the weapon look nice and symmetrical this, guy uses insane machinery which helps, and I'm pretty sure helpers cant do stuff like that. right?
@@inisipisTV yeah, but it depends how that weight is used. european longswords while beeing similar in weight are significantly longer aswell as the fact theyre made of way higher quality steel which means they have proper springyness to them making them durable and nimble. while katanas are shorter for their weight aswell as alot thicker to make up for the lower quality steel the japanese had access to at the time, its impressive how well they could utilizen the steel they had, but its unfortunate how brittle their swords were. the steel quality is also why they were folded a few dozen times, it was done to remove some of the impurities but more importantly even them out to prevent large weak points
@@Helperbot-2000 They didn't have steel native to Japan either. Most of their katanas were made of pure iron ore sand. I've watched a UA-cam video of how a traditional Japanese person said they harvested the iron for their swords and they would go to the beach with a magnetic rock and draw it over the sand until they had a decent amount of it. Man at Arms reforged is a good channel and Ilya always tries to make Japanese katanas the traditional way when he gets to make them. In fact the metal was so brittle before hardening that Katanas are "supposed" to be straight and they curve when going into the water for hardening, very cool to see it done.
@@SeviathTheHumanDrago well no they did have steel steel isnt separate from iron, you make steel WITH iron and carbon, and so yes they used iron ore sand. they didnt use magnets) but their steel making process was quite poor and so they couldnt make very high quality steel, it had alot of impurities (which is the reason they were folded, to even out the impurities and remove them slightly. but yeah the curving is interresting, as the edge was covered, it didnt harden as much as the back dise, and so the backside would shrink faster curving it, its a bit like a bi-metallic strip!
The bamboo stick sword is sharper than the Tokitou Muichirou katana!!! This broom sword reminds me of the bamboo broom that my father used to spank when I was a child when I smashed the camera, I am so grateful for this video!!!
If listen closely there's a Morse code, that says to never give up what you doing today! (😆 I'm just kidding, but look a lot with Morse code sometimes)
To be honest, Keaton, given that your forging videos are mostly ASMR, it's really relaxing to see you work your swords out if ordinary metals. Personally, it would be nice if you can either reduce or eliminate any time-skipping because: 1. It would spoil the relaxing effect and appreciation in how you work; and 2. Frequent timeskipping can be quite annoying in certain conditions. On the other hand, your purpose is basically to show us how you make swords out of any metal you can find; the processing time is your own.....I also suppose there are other viewers who won't have the patience to see you work for over an hour. Still, it is relaxing. Thanks.
I knew I wasn't that high I caught it too even had to put it on slow just to get a full display of it the top middle is cooked noticeably but it is a nice sword
As someone who has devoted their life to the art of the Japanese Katana the way he displayed the katana at 11:48 got me so angry Anyone who does not like katanas the way I do will not understand but the way he pulled the katana out of the Saya and scraped the tip against the bamboo got me so mad Anyone wondering why I’m angry about this-The blade is scraping against wood which will dull the blade and destroy it unless cleaned and sharpened straight after it happens Even though when I practise with plastic katanas and wooden katanas it gets me angry when I accidentally scrape the blade against the Saya
@@axelwulf6220 A sword can only be called a 'Katana' when it is made by a japanese sword master thus that has a license of authentication. You dont need to be an expert to know that, google is enough.
Hello. I am Japanese. Katana originated in Japan, but many Japanese are not interested in katana. However, as a Japanese, I thank you for informing the world about katana, Japanese culture, through youtube and other media.
Nice work, beautiful piece. Although I'm curious as to why you forged a bend into the blade instead of letting it get it's curve from the quenching process
quenching doesn't form the curve.... the curve comes from the bonding of the steel cutting edge and the iron spine. you do know real kats were not actually made this way..
Excellent video - though I would rather have seen a brass dowel in the grip holding the blade to the handle! Still, your workflow is extremely good to have shot this - excellent work, and props for forging in the bevels.
Yeah, I was just trying to a work it out. Does this sword count as having a full tang? I don't think a sword is really considered a functional, combat ready sword and not simply an ornament without a full tang. At least that's what I thought.
I can imagine this weapon being in an anime, or one of those vintage samurai movies in which a ronin is harassed by some bandits who think he only has a bamboo stick to defend himself, only for them to see the guy they vastly underestimated pull out his sword and cut one of the bandits down.
In the 1930s and 40s, only non-commissioned officers were allowed to carry military swords, but on the Chinese front, the Japanese army was short of ammunition, so the need for swords was very high. And there was a blacksmith accompanying the soldiers to repair the swords. The soldiers picked up car springs and asked the blacksmith to make them. The soldiers would pick up the car springs and ask the craftsman to make them into swords. He was very skilled and could anneal them very well, so they were called "Imatoretsu" or "Spring Swords" and were very useful in the war. In fact, the manufacturing method of Japanese swords has not been clarified. It is said that more than 1000 years ago, swords were made only from steel. During the Warring States period, the need for swords increased and it became difficult to obtain enough steel for the orders, so a manufacturing method was apparently devised in which steel and soft iron were sandwiched together to reduce the amount of steel used. In other words, it can be said that the use of all-steel springs as a material for Japanese swords was completely correct in ancient times.
Now I have 100x more respect for the sword-smiths who made real katanas. They folded the metal like 20 times to get an aligned grain structure in the metal and then sharpened it on grated stone. Not to mention all the forging was done by hammers, no machines involved.
Hello, I'm Japanese. I am writing English using Google Translate. In Japan today, there is a law that violates the Firearms and Swords Law, and it is not allowed to make or hold a sword, but I am proud that Japanese swords are known to the world in this way. Thank you very much.

I've watched a UA-cam video of how a traditional Japanese person said they harvested the iron for their swords and they would go to the beach with a magnetic rock and draw it over the sand until they had a decent amount of it. Man at Arms reforged is a good channel and Ilya always tries to make Japanese katanas the traditional way when he gets to make them. In fact the metal was so brittle before hardening that Katanas are "supposed" to be straight and they curve when going into the water for hardening, very cool to see it done.
@@SeviathTheHumanDrago well no they did have steel steel isnt separate from iron, you make steel WITH iron and carbon, and so yes they used iron ore sand. they didnt use magnets) but their steel making process was quite poor and so they couldnt make very high quality steel, it had alot of impurities (which is the reason they were folded, to even out the impurities and remove them slightly. but yeah the curving is interresting, as the edge was covered, it didnt harden as much as the back dise, and so the backside would shrink faster curving it, its a bit like a bi-metallic strip!
A sword is the process of creating a work of art from just iron. The Japanese soul is this inherited for hundreds of years.

The bamboo stick sword is sharper than the Tokitou Muichirou katana!!! This broom sword reminds me of the bamboo broom that my father used to spank when I was a child when I smashed the camera, I am so grateful for this video!!!

That's a beauty right there. Looks so simple yet very very deadly. Awesome job!
NICE！仕込み杖だから、真っ直ぐでもいいんだけどね。反りがあったら、刀だと気付かれる。
If listen closely there's a Morse code, that says to never give up what you doing today!
(😆 I'm just kidding, but look a lot with Morse code sometimes)

Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you

6:40 that blade looks perfect
To be honest, Keaton, given that your forging videos are mostly ASMR, it's really relaxing to see you work your swords out if ordinary metals.
Personally, it would be nice if you can either reduce or eliminate any time-skipping because:
1. It would spoil the relaxing effect and appreciation in how you work; and
2. Frequent timeskipping can be quite annoying in certain conditions.
On the other hand, your purpose is basically to show us how you make swords out of any metal you can find; the processing time is your own.....I also suppose there are other viewers who won't have the patience to see you work for over an hour.
Still, it is relaxing. Thanks.
In my country this kind of video will be 3hours longer or gonna be part 1 part 2 till part 100
But u just make it 12mins only
Love it bro!
Un travail magnifique et totalement maîtrisé. Félicitations à l’artiste.

Insane work Keaton! That was one heck of a piece of Steel that you started with man. It turned out beautiful! You knocked it out of the park again
Those surface conditioning belts are pretty amazing aren't they
Thank you sir! Scotch brite belts have literally saved me days of my life lol

yea u were right the finished sword isnt straight
I knew I wasn't that high I caught it too even had to put it on slow just to get a full display of it the top middle is cooked noticeably but it is a nice sword

As someone who has devoted their life to the art of the Japanese Katana the way he displayed the katana at 11:48 got me so angry
Anyone who does not like katanas the way I do will not understand but the way he pulled the katana out of the Saya and scraped the tip against the bamboo got me so mad
Anyone wondering why I’m angry about this-The blade is scraping against wood which will dull the blade and destroy it unless cleaned and sharpened straight after it happens
Even though when I practise with plastic katanas and wooden katanas it gets me angry when I accidentally scrape the blade against the Saya
Just at the end when he put the katana away it got me so angry with the katana scraping against the bamboo Saya
Those Bamboos in the yard are beautiful, where in the globe is this?

The real 刀（＝KATANA） is not this easy to make.
This is a saber that imitates KATANA.
Yes, but this is not a Katana.
Are you an expert in swords?
The only reason it’s not a katana is because it dosent have a guard, other than that it’s a perfectly good representation of a katana.
There is a Japanese sword website that you can translate and check to see the differences.
@@axelwulf6220 A sword can only be called a 'Katana' when it is made by a japanese sword master thus that has a license of authentication. You dont need to be an expert to know that, google is enough.
Hello. I am Japanese.
Katana originated in Japan, but many Japanese are not interested in katana. However, as a Japanese, I thank you for informing the world about katana, Japanese culture, through youtube and other media.
I'm a disabled martial artist and I have to use a defensive cane. I would love to own a cane sword of this quality. Have you made one?
Nice work, beautiful piece. Although I'm curious as to why you forged a bend into the blade instead of letting it get it's curve from the quenching process
quenching doesn't form the curve.... the curve comes from the bonding of the steel cutting edge and the iron spine. you do know real kats were not actually made this way..
there footage on youtube of a genuine japanese swordsmith forging a katana..
@@chloedevereaux1801 you're saying the curve happens in the forging process before quenching it?
@@chloedevereaux1801 ua-cam.com/users/shortsYT-z4XFl2Mw?feature=share
Soooo, after reading some comments, this is not a katana but an art piece. Nice!
Such a creative build! Stealthy and functional
Excellent video - though I would rather have seen a brass dowel in the grip holding the blade to the handle! Still, your workflow is extremely good to have shot this - excellent work, and props for forging in the bevels.
Yeah, I was just trying to a work it out. Does this sword count as having a full tang? I don't think a sword is really considered a functional, combat ready sword and not simply an ornament without a full tang. At least that's what I thought.
Jesus christ man... you made that shine way more than i thought it would.
great job!
I like how he just has freaking bamboo growing in his back yard.
Bukan bamboo tapi yang benar tuh bambu 🤣🤣
Ok, I thought I was the only one who noticed 🤣🤣
Wut? Bamboo is just an overgrown grass. Its is hardy as fuck. it will grow anywhere as long as its not too cold or too dry
@@tiktokhotgirl8023 bro bahasa inggris bambu kan bamboo -_-
You are a brave man, using the oven for tempering. My wife would kill me twice! Great work 👌👌👏👏👏🤝
I can imagine this weapon being in an anime, or one of those vintage samurai movies in which a ronin is harassed by some bandits who think he only has a bamboo stick to defend himself, only for them to see the guy they vastly underestimated pull out his sword and cut one of the bandits down.
Laughed my ass off at the diagonal insertion into the oven where it just barely fit
Hmm i wonder what's cooking
Dangit its a Katana again
If there was ever a blade I’ve wanted, it’s this one

日本からこんにちは!

Blind Justice movie flashbacks. Love it.
Imagine getting into a fight with some bamboo ninja and he pulls a katana out of no where
In the 1930s and 40s, only non-commissioned officers were allowed to carry military swords, but on the Chinese front, the Japanese army was short of ammunition, so the need for swords was very high. And there was a blacksmith accompanying the soldiers to repair the swords. The soldiers picked up car springs and asked the blacksmith to make them. The soldiers would pick up the car springs and ask the craftsman to make them into swords. He was very skilled and could anneal them very well, so they were called "Imatoretsu" or "Spring Swords" and were very useful in the war.
In fact, the manufacturing method of Japanese swords has not been clarified.
It is said that more than 1000 years ago, swords were made only from steel. During the Warring States period, the need for swords increased and it became difficult to obtain enough steel for the orders, so a manufacturing method was apparently devised in which steel and soft iron were sandwiched together to reduce the amount of steel used. In other words, it can be said that the use of all-steel springs as a material for Japanese swords was completely correct in ancient times.
Great job, Keaton! I've been enjoying your stuff since the first Cyberpunk Katana you made!
Thanks for watching!

Simply gorgeous! Love it!
Chinese & North Koreans are playing w fire these samurais 🥷🏻⛩️🥷🏻are indestructible , not even tsunamis, and earth quakes can destroy them .
Now I have 100x more respect for the sword-smiths who made real katanas.
They folded the metal like 20 times to get an aligned grain structure in the metal and then sharpened it on grated stone.
Not to mention all the forging was done by hammers, no machines involved.
Yeah it's crazy the skill and time it just have taken, but this guy still has crazy skill even with machines
Te felicito amigo, quedo genial tu trabajo
Me who used to play with bamboo as a katana is childhood...MY TIME HAS COME
ZATOICHI has the cane KATANA in Japan! Good job, man!
