Dont think I've ever seen a canister come off so cleanly, lol. The end result is absolutely stunning!!

[fartzr.schmelli]

That verdigris finish on the copper bits is stunning! Gives the sword a "God of the Seas" feel to it. Amazing job dude! The whole build is beautiful!!!

[Duckrabbit_Forging]

Dude thats amazing! Blows my entry out of the water! The copper patina is amazing and it just fits together so well!

[Daniel-etod]

Can we just take a moment and congratulate this absolute amazing guy who went through and replayed to most if not all comments. That’s amazing keep up the great work it looks amazing👍🏾

That Damascus pattern on the blade is absolutely gorgeous! Like granite. Spectacular work, sir.

[BlackBeardProjects]

Congrats on all the Damascus work, man! I absolutely love the ball bearing tsuba. And yeah, that copper patina is epic too. I knew from the first pic you shared that it would make for a killer thumbnail! Cheers!!!

I'm a bowyer/general woodworker and have never ventured into forging. However, I appreciate the craftsmanship of blade smiths very much

Massive congratulations on the win this time, it’s been cool seeing your work just get better and better as time has gone on.

7:42 my man is taking those sparks like it’s nothing

[oliverwinter]

This is truly a work of art! i love swords in general, and i love the Katana, but this took that to another level. Keep up the good work!!

[RainyDayForge]

Oh man! I was stressed watching the cold shuts from the twist. I’ve had that happen before too and it’s awful! I’m glad that you were able to work through it! 🎉🎉🎉

[redwolfknives]

Out of the park! Killer work bro! Gorgeous work!

[outlawbladesandleather]

Man! I was never a fan of canister, but you pulled this off nicely with that twist. Love the oxidized copper. Brilliant dude! ❤

[Sgt_Potato_]

The way that billet slid out of the canister was just...

The most satisfying thing I've seen in a long time. Wow. Don't you wish everything was that easy in metal working? 😂😂 my wife asked me what was wrong because i made a strange noise when i saw it.

[DJFLIPNO]

this is amazing, Amakuni is probably impressed

[kzarnold]

The patina on the copper looks awesome nicely done with the blade work 👍

[Coffe-]

Awesome work man! Make sure you show off the work at the end of the video a little longer with some nice pictures. Right now the final result was just flashed by. Your work is worth showing off.

[CentauriTT]

I swear the U.S probably has more katanas in it than Japan or maybe even the rest of the world.

This looks like a bunch of fun.
What a beautiful finished product.
