Forging a black KATANA from an old bearing

In this video we will show how to forge a katana from an old bearing. We forged an old bearing from a railway locomotive into a katana blade. After forging, we grind the workpiece with a grinder. The blade was hardened on charcoal into warm engine oil. After we saw the katana blade in the mirror, we started making the handle. Tsuba and habaki are made of spring steel. These parts of the katana mi were heated and dipped in oil to burnish the parts. The handle is made from black wood.

Not a katana, any real japanese bladesmith would snap this trash on a rock the moment they found out how it was made. This is extreme disrespect to the highest degree to a japanese bladesmith who makes actual katana from scratch. Just making the tamahagane the sword will be forged out of takes 72hrs alone, they make the iron from scratch not pull garbage out of the local dump

@@weedconesuer To each their own. I'm sure even a true master blacksmith could see the talent involved in a sword such as this. Was it forged using traditional historic methods? No, but I'm sure the smith of this sword is very proud of his abilities and the result of his labor. I believe a true, honorable blacksmith should be respectful of another's work and methods.

@@weedconesuer I’ve seen only hateful comments coming from someone that I bet can’t even make a sword half as good sure this bladesmith didn’t use traditional authentic methods but they sure as hell worked hard on it and you shouldn’t put them down for using some “iron found at the dump” the point was making something that was thrown away and useless to make a beautiful blade that could be used for many things other than sitting in the dump so why don’t you learn the basics of being a human and treat people with at least a shred of respect

I mean, tsuba could be made of iron, the problem is the habaki, is also meant to absorb shock together with the seppa, that's why they're made of copper or soft metals

@Random Hobby well no? no way right if ur a expert then ill belive that but i dont think so, the steel of a katana is super hard right?? its super strong and really good and a bearing is just a bearing, i bet if u took the katana made and a real katana the real katana would beat it in a lot of places, one being the one made isnt full tang making it worse for battle then a full tang

@Random Hobby ooo but i thought by making the blade hotter at some points and cooler making it more flexible and hard is better then just normal steel ig i was wrong :)

@razorfett147 Жыл бұрын

Carbon content of the steel and forge grain matter as well if you're planning to make something functional. Traditional katana making combined 2 grades of steel for functionality optimization. Yes its true they had to go through alot more work to MAKE good, usable steel, but what they ended up with holds up as good as any modern, manufactured steel product. Using just high carbon steel (as ive seen lots of DIY katana builds do) is fine for a display piece, but wouldnt go far in combat use without breaking. So in the end its all in how "legit" you want your sword. Traditional forging is an extremely time consuming process, which is why such weapons command high prices. Or you can go the DIY route with some commercial mild steel and make something thats perfectly suitable for most non-combat needs.
