In this video we will show how to forge a katana from an old bearing. We forged an old bearing from a railway locomotive into a katana blade. After forging, we grind the workpiece with a grinder. The blade was hardened on charcoal into warm engine oil. After we saw the katana blade in the mirror, we started making the handle. Tsuba and habaki are made of spring steel. These parts of the katana mi were heated and dipped in oil to burnish the parts. The handle is made from black wood.
