Hand-forged katana: Step 1, forging out the bar

Keep up the good work!

How much material was used? Length of the starting bar?

Where do you get the bars from?

Are you selling this??? Nice look katana btw

I’m making my own and following your steps, thanks for the guidance!

From my calculations the finished bar you have at the end of this video should have been ~928mm long, would you say this is accurate?

Why are you add water on anvil? Japanese Swordmiths are always add water on anvil. What's that meaning?

if you were able would you use that steel or togminhoginy the metal Japanese use I spelled it wrong which would you use 🤔

Good lord dudes back is gonna be hurting after swinging that sledge

Where do you find steel with those dimensions? I can’t find it anywhere, or anything close enough to the finished bar

Great content, How heavy is your anvil?
