you are one of the few blade makers that actually put clay on the blade to expose the hamon! the tip of the blade and the bevel looks authentic! ironacally the sword that isnt a katana, looks more like a katana than the other swords! lol
Looks great. If your blade was curved more and had a more pronounced point with a handle about the same length as the blade, you would have a Nagamaki. Which is a style of sword that pre-dated the katana for the samurai.
looks well balanced but, i do think that you created a stress point between the blade and the handle, somewhere in that shop you have a butcher, that tool fixes that problem.
Я извиняюсь.. но мне одному кажется что это скрещенная шашка и катана? Хоть у этих мечей и разное предназначение но сделано не плохо, хотя Я считаю если рукоять сделать поменьше как у полуторного меча, этот меч стал бы ещё более универсальным..
I'm sorry.. but it seems to me alone that this is a crossed saber and a katana? Although these swords have different purposes, they are well done, although I think if the handle is made smaller like a one-and-a-half sword, this sword would become even more versatile..
I made this sword as a free creation, inspired by Japanese blades and using a handle design similar to the style of my knives. The idea was to make the blade a little longer, but I wouldn't have an oven for the heat treatment if I did...
Achei o desing muito interessante (assim como as outras peças que você já apresentou no canal), embora não seja de fato uma katana. Fora isso, é maravilhoso ver brasileiros com trabalho de tanta qualidade no RU-vid para públicos estrangeiros. Continue com o bom trabalho, amigo.
Muito obrigado, amigo! Pessoalmente não chamaria de katana, mas certamente isso ajuda no engajamento, então fiz uma exceção...😉 Sou um grande admirador da cultura japonesa (minha mãe sempre disse que eu fui japonês na vida passada) e ainda quero fazer uma espada totalmente inspirada nas katana(que ainda assim não será uma) quando tiver mais tempo. Muito obrigado por acompanhar!😁🙏
@@cutelariaharpia, maneiro demais! Já estou aguardando essa peça. É do tipo que dá pra fazer uma série de vídeos, dado o volume de detalhes envolvidos na produção. Enquanto não sai, vou apreciando as facas que, como já disse, são muito legais. Forte abraço.
Beautiful work Sir! Well done! Exceptional quality blade and well made video. It’s been several years since I made either a blade or a RU-vid video, I’m very tempted to enter this years challenge. 😊
Do your butter knives cut paper? I will remember to never pick a fight with you...hahaha The truth is that RU-vid still doesn't pay me enough to have time to go find things like coconuts to cut, now at the beginning of the channel I've just focused on showing the construction method. But don't worry, the channel is growing fast and as soon as it improves we'll have more fun things to share here! 😉
Quantos vc cobra para fazer uma desta aí normal porque está aí e de damasco não é eu quero uma simples quanto vc cobra sou Gabriel moro no sul de minas gerais
Such beautiful work and design. So captivating to observe you work. Would love to have one of your knifes, such a pleasure to use something of that quality and knowing all the work that goes in to it.. Would take care of it and cherish it on an hole other level than a normal knife Is your work up for sale? I probably can’t afford one but maybe some time in the future
Thank you very much, friend! I do everything here with a lot of love, so it's great to hear something like this. I accept orders, and I can make pieces starting at US$200. The most expensive actually are around US$1500. If you are interested, please call me on Whatsapp 55 51 998966784. It will be a pleasure to serve you!
This was the last video from the samurai challenge i watched. Like an old saying here in Germany: "Das Beste kommt zum Schluss" - Best comes at the end Cool shape but still practical, the Hamon just complete it as the sword would say: "Come on, dare me!" You made a wonderful piece of art, a sword that deserve a name. I'm a bit late, but if i would have to decide, this sword would win.
Thank you very much, friend! I made this sword in a short time just to be able to participate, I hope to do something even better in the next challenge! 😉👊
This piece is exactly the only one I have available! If you want to buy, I can sell it to you. The value is US$800. I ship to almost anywhere, where are you from?
@@cutelariaharpia you're welcome. I make knives too, never as beautiful as yours of course. But at least I know how hard it is to make such a knife. One mistake could ruin the entire process. And yes, knife/katana enthusiast /or whatever it is, sometimes is more expert than the legendary sword maker himself. Thank you for the inspiration. 🙇🏾🙇🏾🙇🏾
I had the idea of making a handle from semi clear epoxy , drill holes through the handle in a pattern. then silver solder in snug fitting dowels copper, brass, nickel. Possibly engraving designs on the ends. Or grind fassets like jewels. them being under the surface of the epoxy protected. Possibly use plastic or glass jewels. place the tang in a mold. Pour the epoxy.using a hot glue and tape gasket to seal the blade. The sand and polish the handle to shape. I also have the idea of drilling and cutting out the center of the tang. Then pour the handle on the tang.. using tinted resin yellow,green,red and especially blue would look nice. Especially a large handle like this one.. even polyeurothane can be used for a slightly rubbery grip. It would probably be bestti mold a texture in the surface. Using a silicone mold fitting exactly to the shape of the tang and blade. If you wanted to get really techy , use tiny RGB LED lights. Soldered to 30 something gauge wire. Usin button cell batteries in the top of the handle, one side. Anda controller onthe other side. Cast into the handle.with a button, and the ability to remove both for replacement or repair. Likely using a m4 srew on one side.with a M2 screw drilled and tapped into it so the tang only has a single hole drilled and tapped. Or single pair of holes. This also eliminates the ugly side of the screw from being seen.the larer being flush with the tang when installed. and the other screw threaded into it so the ends are out of sight.the LEDs could be sitting on the tang, coated with solder mask, a insulator like paint. Then copper foil tape. Really narrow, about,.020" wuth a pad roughly.040" to solder the led on to. With a translucent epoxy. The led and traces will be invisible until lit. Having them chase around the handle could be awesome. And they are tiny. Abiut 6 will fit on a grain of rice , a small led being abiut 0.2mm x 0.5mm , possibly smaller. 1.5mm is 1/16" 3mm= 1/8" so its tiny. Requires a microscope to solder by hand. And using The RGB LEDs with built in control. Only required 3 connections to be any color, or be programmed to do any color or flash, the handle can be covered and littleraly be a tv screen show crude pictures.. only required a tiny micro controller. That will fit on your thumb nail. And a couple batteries roughly 3/4" diameter, and 2mm thick. For the whole handle it may require 4 batteries. If possible squeeze a 20x30x4mm lipo rechargeable battery in there. With a charge board about the same size and only 1.5mm thick. I bet if it was made someone would buy it. Even if it was a small knife, euth holster, a 4" blade, but what im thinking is HEMans sword, thunder cats something cool.
Nice job, I like this sword. Well done.👍 In annother post you wrote yourself, this blade is not a katana. I totally agree, the curve and the shape of the handle is not the one of a katana. But, who cares?
Thank you very much, friend! This sword was made for a joke, without much concern for historical details. When I can I will make a sword totally inspired by a katana. 😁
I think this could actually be called san mai even though you used 10 layers. Judging by what the final etch looks like, the steel in the middle is different from the steel on the sides ending up with 3 distinct layers, which is what san mai is.
The initial idea was to do the quenching in a horizontal container, this would increase the curvature, but I couldn't get one in time, so the curvature was very slight. Furthermore, it's a stylized sword, don't get caught up in the parameters. 😉
Thank you! I know it's not a katana, I just used the name to help people who like oriental swords find the video, since the sword was inspired by them. I hope I didn't offend.
I am not offended. I was just stating my opinion. The shape and style of the blade makes me think of horseman's saber. But the work is lovely. @@cutelariaharpia
I have this piece available if you're interested. For $850 I sell it and ship it to you. The hem remains to be done, but the value is included in the price I sent. (sword, scabbard and shipping $850)
I don't remember if I talked about this in the text, but I built this piece in a very short time, so I just tried to have fun and do something cool. I'm aware that it's not the most sophisticated thing for combat...😅 Thanks for following along!😁
hi, super work ! you said: - "In order to be able to build it on time and without delaying my orders too much" - so here is my question: where and how do you sell which of your masterpieces ?
You deserve a subscription because you actually put in the work unlike other RU-vidrs who don't do crap and just post a video and get millions of views
For your gas forge are you using a forced air system to get your heat up a bit more or just a simple torch?? Just got a gas forge and working on trying to do some damascus with it, not near as easy as my coal forge was
It's a beautifull piece to be sure, but i've never seen one with a straight blade and a reverse curve handle before. It looks like more of a persian scimitar without a blade tip curve. Might i ask what it's styled after?
Thank you, timothy! I made this sword inspired by Japanese blades, but I used a handle shape closer to what I usually use on my knives, to impose a little of my personality on the piece.
Muito obrigado, Bruno! Gosto bastante dessa montagem fulltang pela praticidade na execução aliada com a resistência mecânica. A proposta era justamente fazer algo bom no mínimo de tempo possível. Que bom que gostou!
You're right, it would be better. I thought of it in such a way that it would be very practical to build, so as not to take too long. To compensate for the balance I made the handle a little longer.
