Forging a KATANA out of Rusted Iron CABLE

Fine, this Katana took me endless time to make and this was not easy to make it such perfect. A lot of Viewers asked me to make Katana so i tried to make most perfect Katana Sword that i can.
Overall Sword Length : 35 Inches
Handle Length : 8 Inches
Blade Length : 26 Inches
Some of the Processes of making this beautiful KATANA:
Forging:
It took me almost five days to prepare and hand forge Iron Cable piece into a long Metal Strip and this was one of my most complicated forging ever. I don't have any power hammers so all the forging as well as welding i did with hands and turned a cable piece into an almost 34 - 35 inches curved steel strip.
Grinding:
I make some rough grindings of curved strip on my new Belt sander and turned the strip into a well shaped steel Katana workpiece. I also hand sanded all the edges of the sword with help of flat file to remove almost all the roughness.
v. I made the blade bevel with a help of flat file.
v. The Blood Groove was made by my professional angle grinder.
v. Sanded the blade to remove roughness.
Hardness:
There is few professional ways to harden a Katana and one of them is (Insulation) Covering all the sword in Heat-Resistant clay exept blade edge. After that we heat it into the fire to critical temperature. We use water to quench only the Bevel part of the heated sword. Now the bevel is hard and remaining sword is more soft. Best way to increase Strength, Toughness and Hardness of the sword is tempering.
Habaki:
This is wedge shaped metal piece traditionally made by forging some brass or copper but also we can make it by using thick brass sheet. And it is used to support the Handle fittings below.
Handle:
Handle consists of four parts.
v. GUARD: The purpose of the guard (Tsuba) is hand protection and balancing of the sword. I made it by casting brass metal and turned into a beautiful piece which separates the handle and the sword.
v. Kashira: Kashira is a roundly turned brass piece which caps the end of the handle.
v. Spacer: This is thin little piece which fits on tang and seals all the handle parts so everything is securely fixed.
v. Wood: Any light wood covered with soft leather uses as a handle of the sword, this can be wrapped with a cotton strips.

Love the blade just one nit pick. I wish you would have maintained the 90degree edge on the spine of the katana in order to better catch blades and be a stronger impact point to bludgeon.

First video I’ve watched on your channel. Your skills are as varied as they are incredibly honed. Kudos to you for having followed/pursued a dream/love of something and attaining such a masterful set of skills. This Katana is a particularly beautiful piece. It’s plain see how much time and effort goes towards the creation of something that, at its completion, looks SO good!

@banditoincognito8950 Жыл бұрын

Your ability to swing the katana is impeccable to say the least. The fact you hear the "whoosh" means you're swinging perfectly straight. You have tons of power in it too, just look at the control at 5:45. That spin is no joke.

@crimson3274 Жыл бұрын

@@trankked6672 tho its not toxic. Katana is not without a reason forged way different. This is simply something i like to call "american katana". Its not just slapping some clay along a forged and grinded blade. There is much more to it and manydifferent styles for a variety of outcomes. I used to blacksmith but never bothered myself with katanas because i knew the only one i can make is american one. To make a propper katana it takes a ton of learning and patience.

Wire rope is most commonly made out of high carbon, non-alloy (without chromium, magnesium, etc.) steel, so properly heat treated that thing will hold the edge real good with really high hardness factor, and since it was differentially hardened it has high hardness edge and much lower harness spine so if any cracks develop, they won't brake the whole blade in half. This thing looks BEAUTIFUL, especially the blade!

После просмотра видео появилось пара вопросов. 1. Клинок же не из троса, верно? На готовом мече не видно ни одного непровара, хотя трос был ржавым, грязным и неоднородным, он в принципе не мог свариться так чисто, да и мы неоднократно могли бы увидеть структуру стали, но мы не увидели. 2. Куда делся момент видео, где вы закалили клинок уже без обмазки, т.к. первая закалка не прошла успешно?)

Wow, great job! I have a question, wouldn't the rust on the cable prevent a good weld when in the tube and you're making a billet? (I love watching Forged in Fire, lol.)

@LightBrand 2 жыл бұрын

Anything will forge weld if you hammer it enough or at higher temp but traditionally you don't want to use high temp (or in other words, you want to use the lowest possible temperature) when forge welding for better metallurgical properties such as being able to be ground thinner and edge sharpened at a lower angle. And better quality steel will allow you to do that. So then the difference between a final product made from substandard material vs high quality is nothing if it's a shelf piece or used for one cut and done. Otherwise it'll reflect clearly upon repeated use/abuse.

Heat and pressure. The borax just creates a pocket of gas around the billet.. similar to how the flux.on a arc welding rod works as its burning.. the borax turns into a gas as it melts, and this creates an enviroment around the part being welded , where air cant be..

I think technically the borax prevents oxygen from touching the metal preventing forge scale...but i dont see how that got rid of the already existing dirts rusts and greases he failed to clean off in prep. Also if he truly made cable Damascus...why not etch to show the pattern?
