  • FAKE.....A real Katana is folded repeatedly until the blade is so hard it will cut stone. (Besides, the music sucked...)

      No kidding.

    • @JetRanger
      He's not kidding. It is a very complex process that re-aligns the molecules in the steel. They rarely need sharpening with anything more than a sharpening steel and when cutting paper they make little noise. RAZOR SHARP!

    • @rcpilotjae maybe he already folded the steel? The Katana steel is very similar to Damascus steel by the way, from wiki: "....The reputation and history of Damascus steel have given rise to many legends, such as the ability to cut through a rifle barrel or to cut a hair falling across the blade, but no evidence exists to support such claims. A research team in Germany published a report in 2006 revealing nanowires and carbon nanotubes in a blade forged from Damascus steel. This finding was covered by National Geographic and the New York Times.Although modern steel outperforms these swords, microscopic chemical reactions in the production process may have made the blades extraordinary for their time. Woody biomass and leaves are known to have been used to carbonize the Wootz ingots used in Damascus steel, and research now shows that carbon nanotubes can be derived from plant fibers, suggesting how the nanotubes were formed in the steel. Some experts expect to discover such nanotubes in more relics as they are analyzed more closely. More..

  • Sorry. Not a real Katana. Not even close.

    Real Katana are made from Damascus steel (Japanese Variation) The steel is bent back on itself and welded together multiple times. Each time getting more layers of carbide mixed with softer steel. Starting from just one length you can get steel with hundreds to literally thousands of layers.

    The katana is incredibly sharp from the carbide layers and incredibly strong from the iron layers.

  • All show no go. I see no folded steel core.

  • But.. That was a single slab. Aren't real Katanas made from metal sheets folded repeatedly? That thing would crack on impact

  • There's supposed to be a dozen or more folds when red hot steel to create over 1000 layers in the blade. This is not the original way of making a katana.

  • Pretty cool...music was painfully shite tho!

  • Not the way to do it! The metal bar has to be folded many times to achieve the necessary strength. The blade is then roughly sharpened and coated with clay. the clay is removed from the blade-edge to enable further hardening. It's then heated and cool-bathed to give the sword a genuine pattern. Looks like this knob is more interested in making the scabbard. Sheesh.

    • @Soppdrake

      Interesting nonetheless.

  • Either a lot of steps were skipped in the filming, or this is a cheap katana.
