WOOTZ steel from rusty springs-Forging a WAKIZASHI sword
Рет қаралды 3,938,149
Күн бұрынIn this video, we will melt rusty springs into wootz steel. Then we will show the forging of the wakizashi sword. A lot of work was done for this project, we made a bigger crucible than ever before. The crucible was larger, and it was not easy to forge. The wakizashi sword itself is longer than a regular tanto, so the locksmithing took twice as long . On the vakizashi sword we decided to put a carbon hilt.At the end of the video you can see a brief overview of the vakizashi sword, it is made from original materials. If you liked the video, like, like, comment, do not forget to share with friends. Thank you all for watching.

That is amazing! That also looked like an unbelievable amount of work! I have always wanted to see a larger wootz blade on your channel - the outcome is so impressive and of course that includes the handle. It would be really interesting to know what the properties of your wootz steel are like - the history and mystery around wootz is just so deep. I also wish I understood more of the steps in your technique - I mean aside from the secret recipe of course! Thank you for adding those captions!

Amazing!!! Not only great craftsmanship but to have to the understanding of your materials to seemingly pull off both 'difficult' and 'lost' arts using modern materials and techniques is just spectacular! Was this 'Wootz' a happy accident or did you know the springs you used had the correct constituents? Maybe I am missing the point..?
