    Dude, just understand that if the true blacksmiths of the past eras ever came across something even remotely close to this they would ALL be using it. Nobody would choose a manual hammer and anvil over an automatic hammer and anvil ever. Not these days n'or the past days. Same skill and care, just less exaustion. I mean really, how much skill does it actually take to beat hot metal as hard as you can?

  • Yeah, this guy is such total fag for using a hydraulic hammer! REAL sword-smiths don't use tongs either. They carry the steel between their butt-cheeks and hammer the sword into shape with their balls...

    -_-

  • I'm pretty sure I heard Chinese being spoken.

    Not that it matters that much...the Chinese make decent sushi too.

  • katanas aren't suppose to be forged into shape, they get the curved shape in the quenching process

  • @JustinJaybrown

    OMG, that's EXACTLY what a sword is for! To kill people! I'm not denying that they're sacred, because anything you create I believe should be kept sacred. But as I keep saying, the sword's initial purpose, therefore TRUE purpose is to kill another person.

  • @Sonicrega no a sword is not just meant to kill to a warrior your sword is your soul it is sacred. And you would not get a weapon from just any one.

  • @Primtoss

    UGH!!! Obviously it's a piece of art, you DO create something out of it, it is YOUR work when you make it. I know what forging is, which means I also know what forging swords is. Dude, just...think about what I said... -_-

  • @JustinJaybrown

    I'm not talking about "these days", I'm talking about "the past eras". Back THEN they would've used these machines, THAT's what I'm saying. I don't care if people still use hand tools and stones over them, that's their personal choice. I KNOW if you work harder at something you'll feel better about it. But still swords were INITIALLY ment for battle only, alright?

  • @Sonicrega what your'e reffering to as "beating hot metal as hard as you can" is actually a piece of art, you cant just go in the garage find a piece of metal use a hammer and bang bang it to make a sword it take quite a lot of effort to to so you have to carefully make pattern by only smelt in a very special way and it takes alot of lifting and grinding, please shut the hell up.

  • @Sonicrega Watch the discoveries documentary on making a katana they still use hand tools and stones over hydraulics. The point of forging these days is not only the quality but the feeling. Taking time just makes the wait worth while. By the way the guy in that video is the pro of this world his katanas sell for millions he can easily afford this hy-tec crap but he still uses a hammer.

  • @ERHABY305 really ? why ?

  • MADE IN CHINA
