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.

      @@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!

    2. Куда делся момент видео, где вы закалили клинок уже без обмазки, т.к. первая закалка не прошла успешно?)

      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..

    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
      @LightBrand Před 2 lety +2

      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.
