About Rifle:
A rusted rifle needed more work and time than making a katana out of it. But still I didn't want to destroy the rifle but having a katana is way more amazing than a piece of junk. Thanks to People for sending us amazing items. Try not to comment me about destroying the rifle as it was a piece of junk. Thanks
All the Processes are below of making this beautiful KATANA:
Forging:
It took me almost three to four days to hand forge a Rifle Barrel into a long Metal Strip and this was a challenging forging due to lack of steel. I learnt a lot while forging this Katana. I don't have a power hammer so it is not easy to hand forge a giant piece of steel.
Grinding:
I started some rough grindings on my 4x36 Belt sander. Hand sanded the edges with the help of file to remove almost all the roughness of the sword.
o. The blade bevel was made by my professional 2x82 BELT GRINDER.
o. Hand Sanded the blade to remove irregularities.
Hardness:
There is a professional way to harden a Katana and that is
As the Barrel steel is not much harder due to low carbon content in it. According to my knowledge it was 1041 steel with 0.41% carbon content which is pretty low to make a katana. But still we put the sword into the fire and heat it to particular temperature. We use oil to Quench the heated sword in it. Now the Bevel is hard and the remaining sword is annealed. Tempering the blade is the best way to increase the Strength, Hardness and Toughness of the sword.
Nordic GOLD:
This is an alloy of copper including 89% Copper (Cu), 5% Zinc(Zn), 5% Aluminium(Al), 1%Tin(Sn). This metal has pretty much same colour as Gold. But it is very hard material as steel while grinding So this was a beautiful choice to make katana handle parts.
Hibaki:
This piece is traditionally made by forging some copper or brass but we can also make it by casting process. I made the Hibaki with casting of Nordic Gold via lost wax casting technique. And the purpose of hibaki is to hold the Sheath with the handle.
Handle:
The Handle contains these parts.
o. GUARD: I made the guard by casting a sheet of Nordic Gold, which is beautiful turned into a pretty Katana guard. The purpose of the guard was to protect the wielders hand. When blocking a sword strike it is very common for the opponents swords to continue sliding down your blade. The guard creates a solid stopping point saving the wielders hands and fingers from injury or amputation.
o. Wood: A nicer piece of wood uses as a handle. After some hand carvings it gets a perfect fitting according to katana. leatherette were used to cover the handle and I wrapped it with beautiful black ribbon.

Bro day by day your quality of video is increasing
I know, @@hawaskapujari8381. It's a beautiful day.
Hey how much money I pay for this beautiful sword 🗡️ tell me
bro where are you from?
Remember, tearing your gun apart and forging it into a sword is always faster than reloading
Remember you need only one bullet standing 100 feets away 😂
Underrated comment
This comment made me laugh more than it should have
I mean, it's true🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I was about to say man is literally turning a gun into a sword.
Opponent: "You can't bring a gun to a sword fight."
RH: "Wait right there."
But the question now remains, is it possible to turn a katana into a gun?
As every mom says when you dirty your room "well undo it" 🤣
If you're American then yes
Yes
2035: "Forging a rusted katana into a BEAUTIFUL Martini Enfield"
To everyone who sees this comment, keep pushing in life and never give Up. Can't wait to see you successful one day and May God Bless You! 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Love it but sad at the same time would of loved to see you restore the rifle
Not the martini Henry!
Same
True
In fact, the sword he made is useless, it has several cracks and was badly tempered... if you hit it with something solid it will break, and if you do a flexibility test it will surely bend or break. It is only used for display or cutting very soft objects.
I agree, it would’ve been better if he restored the rifle
Does anyone realize what what he destroyed? That's a Martini Enfield. That barrel itself was relatively rare. I've been hunting for years just for an extractor, breechblock, and stock set....
Oof that must have been hard too watch
sad
Yes and I am in pain cos of it....I want to cry
...and it's been turned into what would pass for a $20 gas-station mall-ninja sword. Shameful.
I was enraged by this video, seriously the total lack of respect for the fire arm was amazing.
As a gun lover, it broke my heart to see a restorable Martini Henry destroyed. The end result was cool, just sad to see the rifle gone.
Also for the before and after at the end, you showed a Mauser bolt action instead of the Martini Henry. You may have mixed up some footage.
Interesting. I thought I was losing my mind when I saw the bolt at the end.
And well… restorable, but at very, very high cost. And those types of restorers are rare and scattered. The owner may not have been able to invest, but wanted to keep some portion of the relic - with new life - in the family. Moreover, they just aren’t worth as much as it would cost to restore it. Likely, by a wide margin.
@@KristiLEvans1 Marini Henry rifles are very expensive right now and it looked complete, just rusty. It would not have taken a whole lot to get it running again, assuming there was no major internal damage we couldn't see.
@@hallofguns8174 there were large caches of those guns recently found, well-intact, in Asia, so the prices have gone down lately. The owner may not have had the money, nor been near the type of expert who can and would restore such a weapon. I agree with you, in general, however.
@@KristiLEvans1 When did these get into the US? and where? I'd like to get one.
That’s a 160 year old rifle…. That just looks like surface rust too it probably could have been easily repaired
Ok
This man not only only cares for his weapons but also his flowers. Truly beautiful
Definitely.
I think with the details like those flowers, its way more satisfying than the satisfying videos.
This comment is ridiculous lmfao if that were so he would've restored it
If you knew what kind of rifle that was you’d choose your words differently
So, "caring" for his weapons means destroying an anticque Martini Enfield and forging a cheap looking katana out of it?
@@RabenmundK it's a nice gun or was
the best thing about watching his videos is noticing the development. hes become so much more talented and refined when it comes to forging and restorations compared to when he first started posting videos. his craftmenship is now on another level and i love to see it. keep it up man!
Not only the forging quality went up but also the video quality
The rifle looks like a Martini enfield or a henry, and those are pretty valuable, his knowledge did not improve.
@@wacky_duck1095 hater🤣.
@@TheHourYouTurnGold its a pain to watch something as valuable like that be destroyed and smelted into some wannabe katana, its like destroying a king tiger for a honda civic.
@@wacky_duck1095 you clearly don’t understand his content bro. He reforges and does blade restorations and also created them. To my knowledge he’s not a gun restoration expert or a gunsmith in gun smith and this is coming from someone whose watches him for years. If you looking for some who does that type of general work you’re on the wrong page. I feel what you’re saying, but your comment is out of context to what his skills and craft are. Understand his craft then you’ll understand why he turned that into a gun. Besides, people also sends him things to specifically do this. Not restore guns. One of his His ultimate arts is turning a completely different object into things like that.
Why. Why. WHY. Why of all rifles you could’ve done this with, you decided to destroy a Martini Henry. A MARTINI HENRY!
Just hope, oh please let it be a pass made
What is a Martin Henry
@@smritinandi9308 a british gun
@@smritinandi9308 a very rare very valuable historic British rifle. Pre world war 1.
I don't think he researched what rifle it was. likely just bought the first rusty one he found and got lucky.
As a gun guy this hurts me but the result still deserves respect
"no guns were harmed during the making of this video, not sure bout rusted gun hehehe"
I am not a gun guy, yet I am so sad as I know the gun worth 10K $ if it is restored 😔😔.. It is almost 120 years old, if not more.
@@axeploit8608 that was an antique that could've been restored to firing condition
@@wari3rkng true
how it was out of condition and on the brink of falling paprt
As much as it hurt to see a relic get taken apart, im glad you made something good out of it. It was a metamorphosis
I agree. That gun would have been incredibly expensive to restore, though. Someday, when mine are goners, I hope they see a new life in hands like Random.
Do you know what gun that was?
@@roberine7241 I don't know. Possibly pretty ww1 Era or so
It looks like a Martini- Henry short lever circa 1870s cal,578/450
@@davenewton3576 bang on. I had to do research. Lol
This is like meditation. So calming.
Remember: forging your gun into katana is always faster than reloading
The sword you made is actually a "Tachi". The Tachi was used before the katana and it was also supposed to be used on horseback. Including that the gun was a Martini-Henry ued by the british empire for 47 years.
You certainly have good eyes, thank you
OMG was that an original super valuable British Martini Henry carbine rifle from the Zulu war???? THAT IS LIKE ALTERING A 100 DOLLAR BILL INTO A 1 dollar bill? I cannot watch....keep the rest of the gun it is still worth heaps of cash for parts.
These are super inexpensive and easy to find/buy lmao. They're practically worthless.
@@LuciusVulpes Sell me one then, I will buy a pair.
@@LuciusVulpes genuine original ones are becoming VERY difficult to find, dude just destroyed a piece of history.
This is not an original one maybe no one is such a fool to destroy such a valuable thing
@@Naruto-jx6fy noooo the barrel was way too loose on their to be recently made. If it was a copy it would be really hard to take off the barrel
The curve on that katana is so hardcore it looks more like a katana-inspired scimitar than anything else.
Yeah well it isn’t a traditional katana
Agreed! Too much of a curve.
@@tristankramer4636 technically it is. that curve resembles a tachi
@@bl1zzard234 Not really, a Tachi doesn’t bend that much either, and a tachi isnt a katana either.
Yeah, a Katana's curve comes from the quenching, because of the different hardness of steel created by the procedure that makes the Hamon. When quenched it curves, it is not made curved, the curve is technically a defect caused by the Hamon. There was a guy that was making some sword and his sword was curving mysteriously, until he got what was happening and he made a reverse curve in the original blade, and when quenched it became straight.
Hats off to you for destroying a beautiful war rifle and turning it into a freaking blade that doesn't even follow the metal folding specifications of forging a katana in the first place.
I absolutely love your sense of humor while you are making such great pieces of art.
Well, you didn't have to "destroy that piece" you could have just got like a rusted pipe or bolt or something not destroy that artifact
Well what does he know about that rifle?
@@user-mm4gm8qo9w nothing
And do to tell once it was restored what would he do with it? It’s the exact same concept
@@pavloszimbrakos4410 he would have an extraordinarily piece of history ready to shoot
Guys, he gets it. He probably didn’t even know it was such a rare and valuable gun, so just appreciate how hard he worked on the Katana and how cute his cat is, would ya?
if you read the description, he says that this 160 year old gun was “a piece of junk?
so yes, he most likely knew.
With this man making all of this stuff he is ready for the apocalypse
I know that it would have been more effort than it was worth, but I would have much rather seen that classic firearm restored. Still, it is a beautiful katana.
I agree
Not even an katana xD
this man is too skilled
You destroyed a rifle worth so much money and turned it into a boomerang looking sword
2045: rusted old katana forged into majestic rifle
That gun had light rust and would have been easy to restore at home. Idk why you destroyed it for no good reason. Thing was overall clean and complete.
BECAUSE THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO HIM WANTED HIM TO!
although this is not a true Katana I think the level of detail and craftmanship bears mentioning plus you made an old rusty weapon into a very beautiful shining example of what a great sword should look like no matter what its name is .. well done
I bet yo mama's back is a true katana
Random hands is a real man of steel
Love from india
literally takes less effort to restore the gun than make a entirely new sword out of it.
I personally would’ve restored the rifle.
I would have too. If it was an m1911 pistol he turned into a melee weapon, I would have felt like he insulted such a great American range weapon
That was a breechloading Spenser Rifle. You made a pretty louse sword out of it - some katana/shamshir hybrid. Way to go, Genius.
Its a Martini-Enfield, dunno if thats worse or better.
I can imagine the rifle was like “I’m too old for this, I’m changing professions”
This adds a whole new meaning to "don't bring a knife to a gun fight"
Yet the knife is made from a gun itself 😂😂😂
"Try not to comment me about destroying the gun as it was a piece of junk"
Umm, or maybe you just don't know what the hell you're doing.
_hold up, did he just use an angle grinder?_
Now you overpast, turning a gun into a katana, no one will do better than this, congrats man. I wish you the best, keep with this awesome job
He could turn anything into a katana
@@enclave6982 he could turn ur mom into a katana
How about turning a katana into a gun?
@@boomwave2 lol
It’s not a katana technically
I love how his thumbnails are actually real
As always a beautiful piece of art
On the one hand, it's nice to see the rifle repurposed and given new life instead of heading to the scrap pile. On the other, it's sad to see something with that much potential historical significance get neglected to that point. There's no way to know exactly how old it was but the action is a Martini-Henry one and the design goes back to the 1870's.
That’s what I’m saying. I wish he restored the rifle instead of just making a sword…
It's actually a Martini-Enfield, only 500k ever produced, and it looked to be salvagable, at least in part.
@@danielhelbig1116 fr feel like he makes swords all the time
@@sher1oc yea
@@sher1oc He can make beautiful swords without a doubt, and they cut well. It shows he’s a good bladesmith; then again, his 9th-grade art skills from metal shop pretty much become useless once he’s given a firearm. All in all, shows his ingenuity is next to none when presented with an opportunity to do something great.
Breaking news: Man turns extremly rare and prized Martini henry rifle into your average day mall katana thats actually not a katana but is instead a Tachi. And he called the rifle junk.
I wonder how much that gun was before and after if the creator restored it instead...what a shame
legit was just thinking the same thing... Would've made more money just restoring the rifle lol
I was about to say the same. I am a swordsmith and i couldnt bear him calling that a katana
Согласен с вами.
This man is the physical embodiment of Smithing 100.
Ta kočka zkrášlila už tak hezké video good job
I love all these forging videos and definitely looking forward to more! 👍
Excellent! Not technically a katana, more of a Japanese-styled sabre or scimitar, but definitely gorgeous!
Why not? Too curved?
@@boarbot7829 too curved for one, yes, and too short. Also too thin, though given the circumstances it's understandable. It also lacks differential hardening and a convex grind, a defining feature of Japanese long blades. This one is hollow-ground, which is not something any period-accurate katana is.
@@boarbot7829 Too curved, blade construction is wrong, the wrap looks like it was done from chinese child labor the "Katana" looks like it belong to some shitty tourist souvenir shop the martini didn't deserve to die for this

These videos are so satisfying to watch... the way he changes simple and broken stuff into new and shinier ones just blows my mind everytime I watch... 😀
Hey RH! During the video you asked if things looked good. Personally I think the white and Nordic gold really stand out well together, the design you came up with for the guard is also really cool though on a katana I tend to more prefer a round guard this still looks awesome. I wish I had something to send you, unfortunately I don't. Lol. I've actually learned a lot from watching your videos and seriously just wanted to say thanks for the awesome content and whether you want it to be or not it is slightly educational. Thanks for the good work and I will definitely keep watching!

Beautiful as always 💯👍🏾
I love how people in the comments can't seem to understand that not everyone lives in America where you could "easily sell the gun" or "easily restore the gun" chances are the person making the sword wouldn't be able to sell a rusted gun because it would be considered a "piece of junk". anyways good job on the sword it looks really nice.
Well, restore it first

Seems sooner then usual for a vid
And im loving it keep the good work
Destroying an incredible antique for something you could have done with pot metal. But hey, why not make something slightly shinier than the average mall katana while you're at it.
With that very pronounced curve it looks much more like a Tachi than a Katana.
Awesome build though. Kinda sad to see a historical piece like that gun taken apart, but glad to see it used well instead of trashed like it probably would have been otherwise.
You sir did that rifle justice!

Wow i didn't think that an old rifle will turn intp a beautiful katana wow so amezing and yeah it feels great to see it
Amazing work❤️
As a gun lover this hurt me but seeing it forged into a katana seems fitting for it since the barrel is usually made from quality steel so that katana should hold a nice edge and last quite a long time
Beautiful work, as always. I have a suggestion. When splitting a piece of wood in half for a handle, glue the outsides of the wood together. That way the wood will never split.
All you freaking haters, go buy your own rifle and restore it. He did whatever he felt like with his. And we like the result. Choke on your vile hate for his art.
Watching this gives me the sudden urge to play Minecraft
Катана замечательная, но винтовка Пибоди-Мартини, даже в таком состоянии, имела коллекционную ценность. Так что иначе, чем уничтожением раритетного оружия, я это назвать не могу.
This video is why CZcams needs to return the feckin dislike counter. Destroyed a recoverable antique rifle for a mall sword, and not even a properly made one.
Bro said "Alright, I'm switching weapon classes."
This is that one perk from turning your secondary into your primary
One of the most beautiful katana I ever seen this looks so sharp
The curve looks like a saber at first but after few searches I found out that it's similar to the curve of katana from 1811( I can't quite remember 😆).. But awesome katana I love the handle and guard 😄🧡🧡🧡
A katana is literally a saber 😑
Really? Interesting, iaito not have that shape
Now turn a katana into a rifle
That's it I'm officially convinced this man is Hephaestus
Dude you destroyed a very restorable rifle to make a historically inaccurate japanese style sword. It's not even a katana, Hell it wasn't even a Tachi. C'mon dude, you can absolutely do better than this. That rifle was entirely fixable and had way more historical value than some POS mall ninja crap.
That thing is not a katana.
Then what is it?
Loved the video it was v v cool. Just thinking of if it would be possible to rebuild the rifle as new in ur cool style. Can’t wait for the next one!
