I dont know that wood but it seems too light and soft perhaps?
a bokken has to whitstand (sorry for bad english) quite a few hard strikes a) without braking (its dangerous...same reason why they dont use varnish as far as i know) and b) without straining the student with much vibration. That and the fact that a real sword would be much heavier so, the bokuto has to be equally balanced, and close or even heavier than an actual sword. afterall its for training (even if thats kinda in between the truth as you wont really "use" the sword but oh well)
(before some asshole comes running at me let me just point out first that i was already suscribed and always liked your knife videos)
I think this is not intended for use, just a props for maybe cosplay?
yep for gintama
Wooden swords on average are actually heavier then their metallic counterparts
@@Grenadier- no, they are not; in fact a typical bokken (or bokuto if you prefer) weighs from 500 to 750 grams, whilst a katana is normally above 1.1 kilogram
So this is the guy who makes Gintoki's bokuto when he orders it in the TV show.

Your videos are so much better without music. It only distracts from the art. I never get tired of watching your high level skill develop your aesthetic. Wonderful videos. Thank you.
I see, its the legendary amstrong cyclon jet amstrong canon.
Pretty accurate
Watched too much gintama
Nah it’s lake Toya

Oh wow its really perfect! Almost like the real thing!
Back when I was 13, 2003, I used to make a lot of word swords. Pretty dam good too. Use to try to sell them through out the neighborhood where I lived. Nobody wanted to buy one lol. Right now is the best time to sell wood art. The internet is amazing. So many people want to buy stuff like this. I like to make wooden sheaths to go with it though.
Ah the Gintama one... The most common material for souvenir bokuto in japan is kashi which is a japanes acorn tree in the buna family. But the japanese maple wood (momiji) and ebony (kokutan) are the two most traditional materials used.
I prefer the one gengai modifies that shoots soy sauce🤣
Kagura's umbrella also shoots soy sauce
What the actual ?
it form anime called gintama
I had a feeling there would be at least one Gintama reference.
Man Who kills Demons its gintokis sword what did u expect
Quick tip from someone who has used and made many of these and similar items. Just like when making a bow you want to find a singe ring and follow it down your wood. This helps with both flexibility and rigidity and significantly adds strength. Don't cut across the grains to curve the sword. Steam the wood and bend it to the curve under pressure. It's such a slight bend it's nit going to tear your wood fibers. Think of it like this pulling a across a string vs pulling down a string. Shorter fibers are weaker so you want long continuous interwoven fibers. You will have a much much stronger and harder bokken. Try that and compare and you'll see what I mean
Facts
Hey 👋 there Koss is the most beautiful wooden katana I ever saw in my life with other types I really said wow 👌 👏 blessings
Hornbeam is a very hard timber, hence the name iron-wood. Hornbeam is rarely used for general carpentry because of the difficulty of working it. Its hardness means it has been used for carving boards, tool handles, coach wheels, piano actions - places a very tough wood is required. In fact the timber is so hard it's been used as gear pegs in simple machines, including traditional windmills. It is sometimes coppiced to provide hardwood poles, and also used in parquet flooring. It has even been used to produce wooden screws.
Same with Osage orange but you have to use traditional tools or dust collection or a mask since the sawdust is poisonous to breathe... my tribe (Comanche) would work it while still wet to form bows
6:36 ah, now that's traditions ! Well done! !
He's so fast he's creating after images 😂
gintoki's bokken! great job
So this is where Gintoki always buy when he sword is broken
I once made one using Baltic Birch laminations in 3 pieces - On the center piece of a 1/2" thick I drilled holes ABOUT every 3-4" and inserted a 5/8" nut - I had IMHO gotten the weight and balance very close to alive blade weapon - There were also just a few holes with nuts in the part of the handle closest to the tsuba - The 2 outside laminations were 1/4" thick - The sword could then be shaped, and finished as desired - Just thought I'd mention this.
Amazing work! This is definately my favorite of all the ones ive seen.
i would imagine tomokazu sugita dressing up as gintoki with this bokuto and a silver coloured wig doing stand up comedy at a night club.
海外の人の無いなら作ってしまおうという行動力は素晴らしいと思う。
I watched this at 2x now he became Godspeed
Ah wait i know now
Gintoki uses this as his primary weaphone and is often used for training irl
I can't believe this guy! Looks like he made his own band saw?! You could make another video on how to make your own band saw! Nice work on your Bokuto, I am inspired to make one for my self.

Ramon Pizarro HA! That’s what I thought too when I saw him carving in the characters! “Does that say Lake Toya?” Lol
Damn! FLASH is a fan of anime good to know.
I thought gintoki brought it from a cheap advertisement all the time .... So that guy has some hidden money?
Shreesh Mishra Gintoki isn’t that poor, he’s just not a fan of paying.

Hello, I want one.. *but please don't tell Kagura!* or else she will break this one also..
Get out of your fantasy
This is actually a lot more simple than i thought

Thank you for making this video
That's a homemade bandsaw?!? Now *there's* a vid I'd like to see. :D
Very nice. Looks like an antique. I'd definitely buy it.
Really good video I'm surprised you don't have more subscribers
thanks
@@Koss-channeldude, give me this wodden bokkuto sword message me at 9006585600 How much
Me encanto esta bokken puedes hacer otra por favor que increíble quedo eres muy bueno hermoso trabajo😍😍☺☺👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nicely Done Koss! Glad I finally watched it. Good choice of wood too. Thanks.
Ого столько усилий,ради такого. Ну а если честно,не плохо выглядит!
i love how the comments are all just talking about gintoki
Good idea. I bought a wooden bokken, but it's thick and ugly. I'm planning to shape it a bit more and do some similar modifications as you did.
Hopefully it'll great. :)
This is a great video. What I'd like to know is how I can make one, and what materials I'd need besides the wood, because I cannot seem to find one in my size. I am 6' 8" and require an 11" grip (to be practical) and a blade length of 38 to 42 inches, so the whole bokken needs to be about 49 to 53 inches in total, and well it's pretty difficult to find something like that in a store/ online. I don't know anyone who would custom make one for an affordable price, and also I'd like to learn the craft for myself. Standard full size bokken is around 39" for anyone who is unaware.
I'd would defenitly buy one if this was to be sold
@Sasuke Gaming really?
Im a simple man, i see *Gintama* i click.
The gravings: Cave, Grandpa, Lake
Maybe it is grandpa in the cave near the lake?!?!? 😂😂😂
Its a gintama refference, according to gintoki he got his wooden sword from a hermit at lake toya
Johny The Pvp God no it was a souvenir from a school trip lmao he said it in the first episode
Could you please provide a list of measurements or how you went about making the curve of the blade? I’m planing on making this exact sword
I would like to know as well
I'm just trying to build my first wooden sword, hope it'll be good :)
@Hhan Lee yes I already made it, but still thank u very much. it isn't good tho but for the first time I think it's fine:)
That's nice looking bokken he made
Relaxing. Now can go to bed. Thanks.
I’m very high rn and this video is incredible

Hi Koss,
I am about to make a wooden Katana build video and stumbled across this video and discovered your channel all at the same time.
Amazing content and well done on the channel.

Cool. But just one thing: wooden bokuto is redundant. It's like wooden wooden blade. Like saying mount Fuji yama. Or an ATM machine. Or a DVD disc. So anyways, cool video and nice weapon.

If a lot of people wanna do this, they CAN, if they want to, skip to make the gravings, to then skip right ahead to oil polishing the sword or what it was called he did in the end to make the finishing touch, i haven't done any woodwork since 6th-8th grade of High School so i don't remember... man i miss the younger days... finishing college feels sad :C
Did you know that the samurai used to train with wooden swords, sharp, but made of wooden, to test their might in a real confrontation, wooden weapons don't cut deep. But enough to kill, yet not across the bone, only superficial muscle fiber cuts, bleeding wounds in conclusion, that's what a wooden bokken can do.
...it looks so authentic, let me tell you that you just out matched the extremely skilled wood craftsmen of oaxacaMEXICO in japan that work so hard in reproducing exact copies of this swords 😁
I’ve made a bokken out of poplar with a tsuba (guard), wooden tsuka (handle) & with 2 pegs holding the tsuka in place with the tang & carved ルイス on it. It’s not functional for Kendo, but a semi-accurate representation.
He is one mad genius.
"wooden bokuto"... Bokuto literraly translates to wooden sword. Making Wooden Wooden Sword ? Moon-Moon approves.
Aside from nitpicking : Great video!
Hey! That looks really awesome btw, would you mind telling me what kind of stain you use? Thanks a lot!
*Nice job, what colour did you use?*
Nice job. Beautiful woodwork. Congrats!
敬服する。素晴らしい技術だ。
this guy: hours and hours of job tools and machines to make his bokken

Very nice training stick.
テレビショッピングでも修学旅行でノリで買ったやつでもなくこんな所で作られてたとは…
Achei lindo, belo trabalho 👍
Its a bokken not a bokuto. Bokuto use a tsuba also but apart from that, beautiful handcrafting mate. I also believe maybe a sturdier wood would be better, but apart from that its beautifully done. Good Job! :3
I could be wrong about this as I'm no expert on the subject, but my research seems to suggest that 'bokken' is just the term non-Japanese use to refer to bokuto-which, itself, encompasses wooden swords in general.
[GENESIS] Kyokuro he used Ironwood for this project
Is it possible to make this without power tools? I only have hand tools and a drill...
Alright, thank you so much for the inspiration! I'm gonna be making one as well
Me too, i almost finished my sword.

that was wonderful. when i retire ill probably get a small wood working shop and build stuff like this for fun.

Awesome video and that bokken looks amazing
I'm very empress with the sword but it is more coller if your vid has a background music so it is not boring
まさか土産物の木刀を自作するとはw
本家も職人の手作りですがこちらも再現度高くて良いですね^^d
I have to wonder if it would be stronger to use a straight cut, then steam bend to shape. Rather than cut the curve. But really nice work either way.
Plot twist: he is actually that fast
這不是 洞爺湖仙人 打造的木刀嗎!? 完成度真高啊!
Хотелось бы посмотреть на руки того, кто активно позанимается с этим бокеном пару-тройку часов... Он автору-мастеру, думаю, эти иероглифы паяльником на одном месте выжжет...
Wow great job
Thanks, im making a nodachi bokken thats quite a bit larger with only hand tools.
Beautiful work
Beautiful.
