I'll leave this question to the viewer's judgment, to share your opinion after watching the video.
I think there are few people among us who have not seen films about the Samurai.
As someone who deeply respects Japanese culture, I have always admired this sword.
Japanese craftsmen have invested many years of their lives making a real work of art in the form of a Katana sword.
I have always dreamed of having a Katana sword in my collection, but not everyone can afford such pleasure, so I decided to make this sword myself.
There are a lot of videos on YouTube showing the process of making a Japanese Katana Samurai sword from different materials, a Katana from a Chain, a Katana from Damascus steel, there is even a video showing the process of making a katana sword from a large wrench.
Since I love the high-tech approach, I decided to make a titanium katana sword using all the tools and machines I have in my workshop.
As tests have shown, this titanium Katana sword was not only beautiful to look at, but also very durable.
I think this will not be a bad copy for my personal collection.
By the way, in this video you will see my new purchases.
I found an opportunity to buy professional equipment directly from the manufacturer.
They have everything you need for your workshop, garage or production workshop.
I was very pleased with the quality of everything that I purchased from them, as well as with the service and of course the after sales who helped me set up the equipment.
I advise you to visit:

Friends,
As you may have noticed, I read almost every comment and I am always with you.
So don't be lazy to share this video with your friends and even your boss at work.
And if you are not at work, then show this video to your friends.
Always with you
Sincerely
Meanwhile in the garage

I am Japanese. I am familiar with Japanese swords, but I have never seen one made of titanium, so I was very interested in it. It seems that the processing of titanium was very difficult. It may be said that it is not a traditional method, but I think it deserves praise! Please keep doing a good job!

Myself being a: Metal fabricator/welder/machinist for over 17 years Mechanical engineer for a little under 10 years I find this extremely therapeutic to watch. Very well done
-
I think this man may have broke every blade making rule in a single video. Despite that however, the end product is still quite impressive.
-
There’s so many talented people out there who work a regular 9-5 and go home and make masterpieces just for a hobby. It absolutely looks incredible.
-
The amount of people hating on the guy ,i can't believe it, everyone is an expert on katanas now, it's more than clear that this was a fun project and and cool looking sword more than a traditionally made katana, and the end result as well as the process was amazing to watch, chill out people!
-
As a machinist with 35+ years experience, you peaked my interest with Titanium. Very difficult material to remove cleanly. Nice work.
-
Not only am I impressed by the fact you put so much intricate detail into making your sword, the way you created the hand guard is amazing and it was 42 minutes of my time watching you piece this together well spent! But what intrigued me was the fact you know how to put a little bit of artwork into presenting your video while doing your video editing process as well. It's just like you making your sword -- you polished your video very nicely as well. Bravo!

OMG i cant believe i just saw this. I absolutely love swords...specially Katana and the Samurai. Amazing skills...wow!
-
I really love the fact that you show everything, also some little troubles you had. On the web, people usually tend to show only the best part of their work/process. I apprecieated!
-
Setting aside the incredible skill on display, I can't begin to tell you how refreshing it is to see someone take the time to keep their tools, machines and shop clean. How a person keeps their shop is a reflection of the work they do.
-
That is a seriously lethal work of art...NICE!!!
-
I wasn't expecting this video to be so relaxing and therapeutic!
-
I thought I really knew the full meaning of "If you want something done right, you've got to do it yourself" - and then I saw this video. Spectacular construction and artistry!!!
-
Many think the sword is too heavy, so here is a small comparison of some types of metal: Steel 7.5 to 8.5 g/cm³ Brass ~ 8.5 g/cm³ Titanium 4.5 to 4.8 g/cm³ Aluminum ~ 2.7 g/cm³

I think you deserve a crisp high-five for this one

I'm am on disability now my best years are far behind me. Thank you for the exquisite craftsmanship it was a joy to watch! What a honor to process such a blade!
-
I very much appreciate that this is labeled "Making" not "Forging" a katana, as the sword is Machined not Forged and that's a very different method.
-
Titanium is my favorite metal and samurai swords are my favorite weapons so It's really nice seeing both of them combined together 🥰
-
I have made a lot of knives & swords over 5 decades, cut from a wide assortment of hardened steels and forged even more, but I have to say I have never in over 60 years seen a sword built in that way.. As nice as it does look, I don't believe it would be able to handle the abuse of a forged sword.. Thank you for sharing..

Una parte muy valiosa para mí fue cuando mostraste la parte donde se quebró la madera del mango, es muy educacional ver que incluso los profesionales pueden tener contratiempos y lo importante es perseverar. Un aplauso.
