They say the soul of the Smith is reflected in their work, and that they forge a part of themselves in a truly special blade. This is undoubtedly one of those blades. Excellent work brother.

It's nice to see someone actually forging the bevels on a blade. About 95% of the time they get their rough shape then go straight to the grinder. That's one of the best katana builds I've seen.

I love amatuer Katana forging, but this is by far is one of the best I've seen on YouTube. Great Work!

[isaacbrooks]

This is one of the best forging videos I've seen. The slow-mo at 3:02 was really cool, getting to see how long it takes you to do each process was interesting, and the end product was next level.

And that's why PPE is important, folks. You've earned my respect just for that. Good stuff. And great technique.

I’m japanese.I was impressed to make not only the blade but also the koshirae. It ’s a wonderful work!!

[swordfishtrigger]

love to see a genuine hard billet/soft billet hotdog in a katana build. much respect for using the technique, and much applause for the beautiful execution!

[ihorpavlovych]

My respect for the master. Not only for the skill to create a masterpiece, but also for the ability to make the process of creation look easy-to-perform. This is inspiring!

[MetalRestorationBho]

I love your content. It's always relaxing and inspiring. 🥰🥰🥰

[vamorydiaby]

I have w watched a lot of forging videos you are the first to follow the traditional methods your video was great.

[alexandertaddy]

The belt popping off the sander scared the shit out me, just relaxing watching this video and the craftsmanship then BANG 😂

[RoyFokker]

You get better everytime you make a katana. I'll watch every single one you make. Awesome. Keep making Katanas please.

[joshuagossman]

There are so many channels that do this sort of thing, but honestly I have yet to find any that do it as well as you. The care you put into each item, with the editing quality and satisfying sounds, it's all top tier stuff! You deserve many, many more subscribers.

[drift_production]

can we just appreciate how long it takes for a sword to be made and how many hours this man put into the amazing work

[SoldierOfGod]

Much better than any other “katana” ive seen forged by other smiths, great job!

[Kratos_God_of__BMG]

Man, you got some serious reflexes! Even with mask and goggles, that belt snap could have been disastrous 😳 Oh yeah, awesome katana too 😉

[DBCraftWorld]

I've made stock removal tanto few months ago and It's cool to see differences in methodology between me and you Keaton:). However some things are the same: wrapping time and hand sanding lol.
Beautiful work Keaton! One of your best I think!

[guilhermenogueiradossantos]

Man, this is a such amazing job that you did, I mean we all appreciate this, the time that you've spent doing this, how can I say, what a masterpiece 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
