Forging a Damascus Katana from 1000 paperclips

I turned about 1,000 nickel-plated paper clips into katana swords. This video fully documented the entire process. It took about 30 days to make. The biggest difficulty was keeping the steel core centered. The length of the katana added to the challenge. The rope part of the handle is the result of the sixth. It looks easy, but it actually requires a lot of proficiency to be satisfying. Regardless, the result is to my satisfaction, and this is the longest, most complex, and most challenging project I've ever made. Thanks for watching, and let me know in the comment section below if you have any questions.

I guess I should come out and clarify that the blade is a san mai construction, the material in the middle is 1095, the clip material is mild steel and does not participate in the actual cutting. But it can increase the overall willfulness of the blade. 2:55

The quench has to be the scariest part in the forging process. If you get a warp you have such a short amount of time to correct it, and if you hear a ping, it’s over, gotta restart from scratch

@@johnnyfaint7114 It means a stress fracture formed in the blade, so it's liable to break. You can't really just reheat and reforge it most of the time, you just have to cut your losses and start over

Well to tale you the onest truth I'd prefer a sword making video the old way, the way the Japanese made they'r swords,it's more interesting. Not how the Americans use all fantasy presses and modern technology, all this gets away from how people made there own tools in life. Americans have gotten away from the old ways, maybe it's time to bring back these older ways and view how people from around the world made there tools. It would be nice to see again how the Japanese continue to make their swords the same way for many centuries and still do.

after watching several episodes of Forged In Fire. I really thank you for your excellent camera work! It shows so much more than they do for their time constraints. I particularly liked the detail work on the copper and brass fittings. Just wanted to know what adhesive you used when putting the wooden parts of the handle together? I will not be making anything like this. I used to be a brass and woodwind instrument technician for several years until I could no longer do it.. I appreciate the skills you have to do this.
