Hello everyone and welcome to the forge, in this episode you can watch the entire Wakizashi forged from a Nicholson file from beginning to end. I learned a lot from this build that will help me immensely on Katana/Wakizashi builds in the future as well as knife making in general.

love this. i really appreciate the use of a hamon. hate it when people just quench it normally and call it a katana. a hamon is a huge part of the katana. good job my friend.

@Mysticmountainforge Год назад

Thank you! I appreciate you checking it out!

@chewyakarieckenicholas6049 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful and I have to say that I truly feel that a real wakazoshi is in how much of yourself that you put into the blade so don't worry about the naysayers that can't stop criticizing people

@B-leafer 11 месяцев назад

Glad you came to the realization you could have left the tang on it and "upset" it forming to what you needed. Meanwhile, adapt and overcome!

That steel is probably higher quality than most ancient tamahagani, as most modern steel is. Should do a measure before and after on the curve pre/post quench.

Might not be the purist method of forging but it turned out amazing! You even get the family involved! Huge 👍 Thanks for sharing!

@Mysticmountainforge Год назад

Glad you enjoyed it! I appreciate you checking it out, my wife always comes to the rescue when it comes to wrapping the handles.

Great

@rockers2rockers616 Год назад

I bet it will cut and draw blood just like a 'real' Japanese Katana. It sure looks nice. Great content.

Tuned out great! I just wished you'd cut something with it on camera 😪

@Mysticmountainforge Год назад

Thanks! I actually plan on doing a cutting video with it soon. I appreciate you watching!

@oneshotme 2 года назад

Looks great and an excellent job making it!!! What no stingray?? LOL Joking but it does look beautiful!! Enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up

@leatherface711 5 месяцев назад

So I have found with that type of furnace cement it bubbles really badly even after it’s dried I have found if you mix it down with charcoal ash there is a lot less bubbling and you still can get a wonderful hamon

@Mysticmountainforge 5 месяцев назад

I will have to use that method in the future, I appreciate the tip and I appreciate you watching!

@eliot6989 10 месяцев назад

I think it was better to chop the tail off. I didn't like making my koidatsu with a smaller tang at all, a flat wide tang is much preferable for blades made to be taken apart

@TheGreenWelty 6 месяцев назад

I'm not all the way through the video yet but the tang that you have on there is very traditional just set two menuki pegs in there and it'll be strong enough for battle use even if you have twice that length in handle as long as you're using a hardwood it's well fit and dual pegged

@Mysticmountainforge 6 месяцев назад

I ended up lengthening the tang by a few inches in the video, but noticed after doing more research afterwards that the length would have been fine with the construction your talking about. I do appreciate your advice, and I appreciate you watching.

Beautiful work - was that real ray skin ? I like the way you had extra hands to do the Ito wrap.

@Mysticmountainforge 2 года назад

Thanks! I used textured leather to simulate the ray skin due to the prices of the real thing being ridiculously high currently. The knife wife comes in clutch when it comes to wrapping the handles, I had a hand injury awhile back that makes it almost impossible for me to do.

@liamr6672 3 месяца назад

The blade seems to have a kink in it instead of a nice gradual bend.

@bluudat1site Год назад

hey whats that neat tool youre using to find the center of your edge

@Mysticmountainforge Год назад

It is called a height gauge, you can find them on Amazon or here www.grizzly.com/products/igaging-0-6-digital-fractional-height-gauge/t21576 I appreciate you watching!

This is a great video!! Just, that, 23.06, sounds like someone's having a real good time... 😳 .... Do you share a garage?

@Mysticmountainforge Год назад

Lol thank, I listened to the video over at that point and all I heard was a drill working fast forwarded, lol.

@Hippucytees Год назад

@@Mysticmountainforge Hmm, ok, but from 23.06 onwards, it sounds like something else to me lmao .....😳😳

@Mysticmountainforge Год назад

I don't share a garage so it must be ghosts lol!

@Hippucytees Год назад

@@Mysticmountainforge 😳. Woah.... Ghosts get up to a whole lot more than I thought.... 😳 .... lol.. But seriously, your work is good 👍. I'm just starting out and getting ideas, from people like yourself. Thankyou for this...

@kevinwilson2442 Год назад

The tip geometry is driving me batty!! Keeps rounding over...😭

@Mysticmountainforge Год назад

I had the same trouble when I did my first Wakizashi build, I ended up getting a chair and sitting right down close to the lower contact wheel and just working it nice and slow, and even then still had some rounding on it.

@Enigma-Sapiens 2 года назад

Instead of ruining any belt grinding on a hardened file, why don't you just take the temper out of it first?

@Mysticmountainforge 2 года назад

I normally do that, I usually put it in clay based cat litter to anneal after bringing it up to forging temp so it cools down slowly.I got sidetracked this time around.

@Enigma-Sapiens 2 года назад

@@Mysticmountainforge, Ahh, ok, thanks for answering. I thought maybe you had a particular reason for doing it that way and wondered what it might be.
