This golden katana is immaculate. I've never seen a blade gleam in the sun like this brass sword. Well done

Sometimes I start thinking I'm a craftsman and then I see this. Absolutely amazing

As a Machinist/Welder/Fabricator/Mechanical Engineer with 35 years of on the job, I must say, that is one of the most beautiful works of art that I have ever seen.

There is nothing I could say that anyone else before me already hasn't...I have never been more amazed by something crafted like this! I've seen TONS of forging and casting videos...this tops them all!

The level of craftsmanship and skill here is simply amazing

Beautiful work of Art. Ignore the haters. This is truly a masterpiece and anyone that is a lover of sword making and culture whether it be the Japanese Katana would appreciate your work. 🙏

dont let youtube or anyone else try to tell you your work is forgettable. it is not. you are what i hope to achieve. this is inspiration for me and should be for all of us. to create and not destroy. but this goes beyond creating, it is giving life its purpose. thank you so much for uploading.

That is absolutely that most beautiful Katana that I have ever seen and to watch it get created by you was a gift to us viewers. Thank you and well done sir. 👍

I've never been in awe or impressed by anything made out of gold, but today I am in awe and am impressed....well done

So, this is what reaching a Pinnacle looks like. Like a symmetrical pearl to a clam. Your dedication will never be overlooked. Truly Impressed.

That's a nice piece of work dude! I don't know how I found this video but I enjoyed it. The result is awesome! Keep it up!

EXCEPTIONAL craftsmanship. Wonderful work brother. Everyone will appreciate this but especially us bladesmiths. I am truly blown away.

INCREDIBLE WORK man! That's amazing and the music really adds to the video. I'd love to see more videos on your channel.

That's an incredible amount of work to make a wall hanger. Unfortunately it would probably shatter if you ever hit anything with it

This is absolutely beautiful. Truly a piece of art!!

always enjoy watching people create something from nothing. as a carpenter myself, seeing something built right in front of you from pieces of wood always makes my customers smile, and of course, being paid when the work is finished means i have done a good job

Why do the idiots get millions of views? This guy is an artist of the trades, and needs recognition.

All of the angles and lines are so crisp, it looks machined. Absolutely stunning

Fantastic work 👏👍👍👏👏 like my friend 🙂

That is the most amazing sword that I have ever seen and ive seen a lot of swords in my life. That sword should be in a museum that's how beautiful it is. If I had the money I would pay $10,000 for that work of art.

Unbelievably beautiful. What incredible craftsmanship! Bravo!!

At first I was ignorant and thought the wood was too thick, with out thinking of the casting needing to be finished after. The amount of effort you put in really shows, very fine finishing work and excellent finish! Really neat project!

sometimes a project is just that a project but then all of a sudden we start a project and it becomes a part of us it comes not from our skill or our hands but from our very soul we can't explain it it just happens, breath taken beautyfull

Beautiful. Only change I would do is to wrap the handle in the traditional Japanese katana way. Something in black and highlighted with golden thread to compliment the blade.

Absolutely beautiful results of your skills and craftsmanship.

Finally a youtuber who can properly polish a sword

Between making a weapon, a lethal Katana, I would much preferred a work of art. The bad karma is much less with work of art. It’s a beautiful piece of artwork.

i've never seen a sword this beautiful your effort to this project was so amazing

This was beautifully crafted, you made a stunning piece!

Ah, this brought back some memories. A few tips I can remember from Patternmaking trade school: Instead of just dumping the sand in on top of the pattern, sieve a fine layer of your sand in first, then top it off and pack. You can make it easier to pour the metal by scooping out a funnel shape in the sand around the top of the tube that forms the infeed before removing it. Interesting to see you form that after the sand is placed. We used to place the (tapered) tube first and pack the sand around it. Traditionally pattern makers would have a metal rod with screw thread in one end, when the box is split, they'd screw this into the pattern at about the center of the pattern, and then wrap it gently in a few different directions with a hammer, so that the pattern would come out of the sand without getting the breakaway at the edges. If it was a high volume part, they'd install a metal plate with a hole for this purpose in the pattern to take the wear and tear. Our 'boxes' were made of metal, functionally the same, though I note that the grooves in your wooden box to help hold the sand are very small compared to what was in ours, from memory, and they were a little deeper. You'd also cover the entire area around the pattern with plumbago, so that the mold would lift off the base board easily, then closing off the mold box wasn't necessary, the sand would stay in place by itself, which makes it very easy to break the casting out later. The way they applied plumbago was from some kind of porous linen bag, tapping it by hand dusted a wide area at once.

Love the way Brass polishes up. Brass junky here. I melt often.

Realmente incrível, parabéns excelente trabalho.

i love watching these videos , wish i can have a masterpiece like this someday,good job

at the start of the video I was skeptical but when the wet sanding started I really noticed how amazing it looked

Дуже гарно. Приємно, що є у нас люди з такими золотими руками!!

Очень красиво ! А сколько труда вложено словами не передать я как мастер понимаю вас и восхищен вашей работой!

Just imagine if this were pure gold! 🥇

can we all just appreciate how cool the wooden splitting katana is

Guess no one to school and learned about the bronze age and how they made weapons before the industrial age and how strong brass bronze can really be. This is exquisite.

that’s an amazing display of skill! next level! I am curious why you chose to model the entire thing, rather than just the blade, and use standard fittings for the tsuba and habaki?

This is a Masterpiece.. without a doubt one of the must beautiful Katana I've ever seen.. true it's not the weapon.. It's more like a piece of jewelry.. I congratulate you on your fine work.. and wish you all the best..

Like and for the music 🎵🎵🎵 👍

A beautiful piece of art. 👍👏👍 It’s hilarious to see so many ridiculous comments about the structural integrity of the blade when it is obvious that it is not a hardened steel forged blade but a replica katana for ornamental purpose, not combat.

_Крутая работа! Можно было ещё где-нибудь на рукоятке эмблему свою выгравировать._ 👍

What a beautiful piece! Was it really a twelve month timeline? That's a huge time investment, but the end result is gorgeous! Well done! PS: Probably wouldn't cut through a turd, but I'm guessing it wasn't built to cut but more to display. I absolutely love it! 👍😎

I want to say beautiful work but that's such an understatement. If it was possible to make anything perfect you came the closest anyone could.

Wow. A gold sword. I love it.😃😃😃😃😃😃

I almost forgot to press the like button because I was so mesmerized by this beautiful gold katana. I always imagined something like this being done, So pleased to see someone made it happen! This is a museum quality. Beautiful job well done

Now that's a gift fit for a king, wow so immaculate and priceless work of art. By far the most incredibly perfect mantel display piece.

i hope this blows up

This isn’t sword, this is sword-shape wall decoration.

This will be a movie prop at some point. Goin' to Hollywood!!

I love the way it shines

The shimmer of that mirror polish is probably visible from the moon

That thing is freaking gorgeous I'd love to have that chillin in my house

Brass is a good Substance Looks Like Gold.

I commend you on this beautiful work of art this one video has made me follow you I look forward to your future projects, thank you for your contribution to the world.

That’s a beautiful bronze showpiece

Absolutely beautiful sword.

Its very beautiful, too beautiful until gloves are mandatory to touch it 😀

May the algorithm deliver you to more people as it has gotten to me. Amen.

What a Beautiful piece my friend, keep up the great work

MUSIC MAKES EVERYTHING MORE EXCITING. EVEN SANDING

Absolutely beautiful! Such dedication.

This is like having a gold sniper in your house on showcase. Love it.

this music is amazing as well as the edits

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen

Not me sitting on my ass at home thinking, "I could do that."

He's the MMO raid boss now, drop chance 100%.

this is really cool man. found it in my recomended for some reason and that i am glad for i really enjoyed it!

not gonna lie, despite the sussy title.. it's a very aestheticly pleasing blade.

Golden Katana is actually great men good job!

Nice brass sword bro.

One of the best polish work I have not seen for a long time, good job

200 years ago this could have and only would have been created by the wealthiest of kingdoms for a ruler.

Incredible craftsmanship and attention to detail!!!!

The envy of every COSPLAY participant and an excellent movie prop?? 😊

Outstanding work. Just amazing.

Sword casting! THE LOUDEST CHANNEL ON KZfaq

Wow, that's what you call craftsmanship.

I’ll clean up the shop, awesome job !

Gonna need some sunglasses to admire this piece. Very impressive!

Impressive sculpture CT. I imagine spending the time to make something with this level of finish from scratch is rather rewarding and therapeutic

Three words: Look at that! Just gorgeous.

Very special and beautiful sword ...

Congratulations! A new achievement! The golden katana has been received! ))

Swords name is *Gleam* "Made of Gold, Unseen like silver, Brighter than the sun, Priceless Treasure" 金でできている 銀のように見えない 太陽よりも明るい かけがえのない宝物

OUTSTANDING

Beautiful

If eye candy was a physical object

No video ever in jewellery making doesn't have scrap capture exactly prominent in view. This is probably brass that looks the same!

The craftsmanship is amazing. I truly appreciate this.

the edges had to be hammered cold forge work hardening if you want that to hold a viable rigid blade.

I see this more of a ceremonial piece than an actual weapon.

so luxurious but it also so dangerious!

Lord Sakai would be proud!!

That's a status symbol if I have ever seen one, but the back and forth on the file was just painful to watch. that is a great way to dole out a file. I hope you kept all the gold shavings.

It's just a beautiful decoration. It's easy to break. Because gold is very soft compared to other metals.

Wow 🥰 what a beautiful 😍 piece that is the !!! I SALUTE YOU 👍🏼👍🏼
