Chapter 2 in the Whip Sword journey. Today I'm making the Karakuri Katana from EAs new videogame Wild Hearts. The blade is a 90cm long san mai construction attached to a 36cm long handle. Extended we're looking at a length of 170cm from tip to pommel. I absolutely love how this project turned out.

I'm not saying don't ever make normal blades again, but I'm really enjoying watching you redesign and improve the concept of a whip sword. Seeing you troubleshoot the issues that come up is really interesting and, personally, I don't think I'd ever get bored of it. You need to do what you're passionate about but making a usable whip sword that works almost as it does in fiction seems doable and I'd love to see you perfect it. Whatever your plans for the future are, just keep having fun with everything

@@goodguykonrad3701 thanks 🙏 I’ve got some different projects planned that should be just as cool and there 100% will be a third version of whip sword after my own design
I am sorry, those gears are too freaking big to hide in that katana... I took 2 stills, there is no transistion between gears and blade, it is just... POP blade.
If you redo the gears in a planetary gear formation, you could reinforce them with metal pins and incorporate them into the handle itself. Also, lubricate them with graphite. Also, maybe reach out to the Lockpicking Lawyer or Stuff Made Here for ideas for something better for the links. Maybe some sort of slide locking mechanism that lets you assemble everything at the same time instead of before forging.
That was AWESOME! Incredible talent dude, end result was so worth it!
Wow, thanks a lot!!

Imagine a theHacksmith and NjordArtisan colab 🍷🗿
@@technonevahdies4578 There's a bunch of guys like this, they have ther resources, education, strength and money to do this, and they work hard on this stuff to.
damn hacksmith got some competition Fr
EA’s deadline for you really reflects the deadlines for their developers
Yeah, I'm surprised he didn't show the part where they bought his workshop and closed it down so good products can never be made again.
@@BreakNichedid they actually?
@@VinnyUnion this is a slight at how they buy entire game studios that are making actual good games and then fire everyone and shut down the studio they just bought. Look it up ☹️
@@BreakNiche i know that already. That's why I almost believed it. Well, Chinese holding companies are just as bad. As on Opera, and ARK survival's Wildcard Studio, Snail Games. The most terrifying ones are the holding companies, really. They have nothing. They're just hallow phantoms that go around and cause chaos with a bundle of money. Also, I've never understood the bending the knee for shareholders. I get what they are there for, but they're not the CEO. Like, for example Cyberpunk 2077, the release was pushed closer because of the shareholders, but let's say CDPR ignored and dismissed the shareholders instead and released a completely good game by sacrificing a few shareholder pennies and thus, making a better product and higher sales overall, wouldn't shareholders make more money if it was sold more often?! Like, I don't see why impatient shareholders should be anywhere to be taken seriously when they're just bunch of children that throw money at you and will profit off of you regardless. Either you invest, make profit and shut the hell up or you don't invest in the company and do it somewhere else. Like goddamn.
You mean like with anthem 😂😂😂😂
I'm not really into the world of Steel, but gotta admire your work , a sword this complicated is no joke
28:26 , I have never related to a sigh more. Massive respect for how you kept your cool, and very proud that you persevered. You created an extraordinary sword!
If i were him at that moment im probably would have merged that segment with the base to meet the deadline
Damn, for how much talent he has he is severly underrated
Not to mention especially for someone that hasn't been bladesmithing for that long. Smiths with much more experience & much better tools have attempted this & failed miserably LOL.
@@thunderbird543761 oops, didnt catch that.
Facts i try to make one like that but still couldn't fo it right
Pretty cool that EA sponsered you for this and asked you to make a weapon. Would be cool if more game studios and the like asked you to make replica props for them, or even movie studios asked you to work for them. Maybe the threaded cane from bloodborne could make for a good challenge next?
Most game studios care about people being hurt by the weapons designed by people (who have no clue how weapons work) for a game. EA doesn't. There's a difference.
@@TheBigQQ69420 you're always risking injury when working with power tools anyways, which 99% of channels like this one use
In fiscal year 2022, EA posted GAAP net revenue of approximately $7 billion nuff said....
nah, he should have told EA "give me two months or forget about it". Publishers are notorious for wanting way too much in way too little time, and they do it because animators and others always give in. "i need the work", like in the industrial revolution. Tell publishers to fucking learn what work really is.
@@ahhthatsjustgrand6502 not talking about making it, this guy is fine. i'm talking about the artist (and all game artists who design wonky weapons) who designed the in game sword who pulled it out of their a, without knowing or caring how things work, and its irresponsible for them to have someone recreate something made by a layman who never left their room, and doesn't care as long as they think "it's kewl."
I commend you for showing EVERY set back. As a KZheadr, the constant struggles that arise during the making of a video make it hard to keep going and pumping out a finished video but you showed that if you just embrace the failures (and even show them as part of the video) that it is all good content in the end anyway. I will have an easier time getting content out from now on!
I also often see that showing the setbacks resonates a lot more with the audience. So definitely a win win for both sides 👍🏻
@@NjordArtisanalso opens up insight from people. If you were struggling with something that somebody else has a solution to, they could offer it.
That's the best variation of a whip sword so far. It holds up well in both forms.
Classic ea reasonableness. Here have 3 weeks to do this thing that basically nobody has done successfully before. That being said I think this worked out incredibly well. Those interlocking segments seem to be the key to supporting themselves when used as a sword...
Now I know why you didn't post any video for so long! Dude! DUDE!!! So awesome improvement compared to the V 1.0. The broken part was a huge bummer. My suggestion, for all mechanism components use ALWAYS mild steel. It forgeweld very easy and It will stay soft even if you quench it. 3D printer will help you a lot in many things (especially with DIY tools) so it was very good investment. Great work Sven! As always!
Thanks David!
I concur about the 3D printer. Since we got ours in the shop in 2020 designing prototype parts & tools has become infinitely easier. Instead of having to fabricate a part & see if it's fully functional we can just print out a few variations then once we have found the one that works the best we can send it off to be made out of billet on the CNC machine. So what used to take weeks in some cases has been reduced to hours or a few days. It really is a game changer. Wish I had one 15 years ago LMAO.
@@jdmmike7225 Yes, You are totally right Mike (Is it your name?). I Have small Cnc machine, laser engraving machine and in the future I will buy 3D printer as well. It's very versatile and useful machine, especially if you need to fabricate custom parts.
I was entranced from start to finish. Intelligent, talented, humourous, honest, creative. This video really has it all. Top marks. I'm very much looking forward to seeing what else comes out of this channel.
Wow, thanks a lot! I really appreciate that 🙌
Gotta bless those designers for making the sword so... Buildable!
Yay, another Karakuri Katana build! I absolutely love your version and the whip functionality! Mine was focused on the light and sound effects instead. It’s always a pleasure to see other artists creating the same project and seeing their very own take on it! Keep on the awesome work!!! 😊
Kamuiiiiii 🥰🥰🥰🥰
The Bible is truth. To understand this you must do the inner work Jesus Christ taught. It all starts with forgiveness from the heart. Start by finding the grievances we all build up with our parents. They have generally raised fed loved us to some degree. Looking inside, realizing that they are people who make mistakes too, and genuinely forgiving them everything shows an important aspect of your soul to God. Genuinely mean absolute forgiveness inside your heart. This is key. To be forgiven we must forgive. This step teaches you why Jesus Christ is lord, and why you need to break down to him and ask for forgiveness. Afterwards read Genesis, Mathew, and one book of the Bible you chose yourself. These four steps have important spiritual significance and are like milestones within our souls. Please trust me. Genuinely open your heart up to God. It is all true. Jesus Christ is the way truth and life. 😊

I really like the tightening ratchet instead of just a pure open-close state mechanism. The rigidity of the collapsed blade now is way above and beyond the first version. Yes, many expert craftsman channels show only perfection as if it worked out on the first try, but I very much appreciate seeing progress, improvement and learning instead.
You are incredibly talented. This is amazing. I mean wow that takes a lot of willpower, dedication, experience and intelligence to do something like this. You are a very special person. Good job!
This was amazing from the beginning until the end. Never thought, that a sword making video would keep me glued to my screen for half an hour. The overall project including all your fails and mistakes was very ambitious, but I guess also very rewarding after you finished it. Kudos to you Sir, you are for sure a master of your craft!
My fav blacksmith. If we compare equipment with other youtube blacksmiths...you may be lacking a lot but in talent you are way ahead of others. I can already see a huge improvement from whip sword v 1. Can only imagine what v 5 would look like when you'll have much better tools and machines to make your work easier and focus more on ingenuity. You have your own unique style...love it. Keep up the good work brother.
I feel the same way
Thanks a lot! I can’t wait to get started in a proper workshop
Even v3 will see a huge leap if this is any indicator, so excited to see what comes next.
That katana is a real beauty! All that hard work finally paid off and Amazing job for forging it!
That damn POC dentist bit instantly had me flinching. I CAN NOW SMELL AND TASTE the sawdust and metal shavings.
I was skeptical when you mentioned the forge welding process you decided on. I should have learned by now to not underestimate Njord Artisan. Pushing the limits, he is the master of impossible things.
Not gona lie you are getting damn good with making these swords! Gona be interesting to see what you come up with over the next couple years or so ! I could only imagine what you could do with a mill lathe and all that good stuff because that sucker is pretty damn functional
Oh yeah, a mill would be a gamechanger on these projects 🤩
Amazing work! This is a huge step forward in functionality from the first version! Looking forward to the next.
10/10 man, this is genius crafting, I felt your pain everytime the thing broke, glad you decided to show it so we understand the journey this project was.
Watching your videos gives me the same vibe as being invited to a friends house to be shown something cool, its a very good feeling.
That’s awesome to hear, thanks!
That's a very ambitious project, can't believe you pulled it off.
Watching this video and seeing how your energy was during certain parts makes this look like it was painful and stressful to film. Amazing work and I’m glad you had an amazing opportunity from EA. Keep up the great work dude
oh man the immense amount of work that went into this sword and all the setbacks. I know that must've been stressful but that end result was so cool. Great work man! Blacksmiths are so cool!
Very awesome! Would be nice to see some more cutting techniques with the whip, but unfortunately such a weapon is hard to master safely.
Has to master making it first. I'm sure it would of broke if there was more cutting. Nonetheless thing was awesome.
this is one of the coolest projects i ever saw, sick sword and it looks supert clean ...also all the mechanics are A+, maybe you did some things for the first time but to make a sword like that is also probably one of the first times ever made ( apart from your first one). you'll gonna become an absolut crafts powerhouse man, a real sword engineer 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that. Can’t wait to put everything I learned from this into my own design 🙌
Really cool video. From a passionate WH fan, thank you for bringing the awesome karakuri katana to real life.
That thing looks sick! And the retraction mechanism you made, that was largely hand drawn was super stylistic
Can't wait to see you working in your own fully supplied workshop.
I love the passion you put in your work piece and the videos and I think it is amazing how you made the blade so sturdy. Hop to see some more of your work soon.
Thanks a lot!!
Wow! Impressive work man! Well done! And as a maker myself, I completely get your pains from things just creating more problems once it’s like 99,9% finished! +rep to you for not giving up!
Bro dont be disheartened. You have litterally invented new weapons multiple times on this channel. You will hit real soon, keep it up. This build was amazing. Just keep designing and engineering.
Your ideas are brilliant man!!! You're incredible, it always seems like time or resources or tools are holding you back, all the concepts that fail in these videos seem like completely doable (and something I'd never think of) if given the chance to refine them at your leisure. And even with all those obstacles and restrictions, you still manage to create astounding works!
Thanks a lot! Next one won’t have a time constraint, so I can finally make a clean version
I mean when EA approaches you to build a real-world version of one of their weapons you don't say no. It'd be like Mazda approaching me to build a rotary MX-5 for them, as I've built half a dozen since 06 LMAO. Good job dude, keep up the great work 🤙
The fact that battery powered grinder cuts through that steel is the most amazing thing to me.
Thats insane. My boy needs more recognition for this amazing work or art and technology
Man! That was an emotional rollercoaster! Massive congrats on getting it all working in the end. It looks great!
Thanks a lot, Phil 🙌
Excellent build! I love how well it cuts :D The broken part was a bummer, but I'm just glad it gave out _during assembly_ instead of flying off and stabbing you in the back while you were swinging it! o__o
If you put it like that it was a blessing in disguise 😄
katana favorite weapon, and you sir blew this out of the water, well done!!
This is the first video of yours I’ve ever seen, but this is incredible! The effort and details this has is incredible! You just earned a subscriber!
Thanks! 🙌
The pain I felt when you said " We're done." then pulled the blade free of the hilt. I've had a few projects that have done that to me in the past, its the home stretch and you suddenly have hours more work to do. Anyways, the evolution of your whip-blade is awesome, excellent work and phenomenal problem solving!
Thanks! I was definitely down bad at that moment. But as another viewer said, at least it didn’t happen later while testing 😄
That end product is so sick! Well done dude, love your vids
What a vast improvement from the first whip sword, really good on you
I love whip swords they are so neat! You did such a good job and Congrats on the sponsorship! 😄
what a finnicky design, and a huge undertaking by you. great job on the finished product, i definitely felt the frustration everytime the build didnt want to go forward. and good edits aswell
Thanks!
Another video, another inspiring showcase of intense detail work. Your uploads are always worth the wait.
Thanks! That really nice to hear 🙌
Thats absolutely insane! Well done good sir!👏
Kickass work. Way to power thru all the issues ❤
Absolutely my favorite blacksmith, no need for all the fancy tools like others have, and you can make stuff as complicated as this, amazing, keep up the good work
Thanks a lot! 🙌
Speechless! The sword looks sick and I am mindblown with that sponsor 😱
I like the fact you took a concept that pretty much all sword youtubers said "naw, that's silly and will never work" and said "wanna bet?" And you have repeatedly made more advanced, more functional, versions of the thing believed to be impossible.
Still wouldn’t work though. It’s entire body is a weakness
Prototyping is hard! I felt your frustration... great work in the end!
woah bro the fact that you did it all in just few weeks is insane, i myself when cutting out parts out of some flat bar with an angle grinder took me like half a day, but you? in that time the guy legit cut out an entire mechanism and sharpened the blade and all. im stunned how talented you are, one day id like to be as gifted in crafts as you, and even despite all the problems coming in to ruin your plans you still managed to pull this off, no more explainations needed im subbing right away, amazing job beyond comprehension
This video was fantastic!! I especially liked the editing and cinematography. This channel is so underrated. Keep up the great work!! :)
Thanks a lot! I really appreciate that 🙌
That’s awesome about your contract with EA. Keep up the innovation.
Well done! Awesome to see your perseverance paid off 🤙🏽
love to see the approach from EA, your progress is crazy!
Good job man. Awesome video! Keep up the greatness!
So awesome. The idea for a katana whip so similar to the one used by Kai in Samurai warrior 3.
I am super inspired by your hard work and determination dude
I was hoping to see a new whip blade soon! Damn, that cut *clean!*
That is super dope dude! Crazy talented
Happy to see I was on the right track with my general segment design
This is really impressive and a HUGE amount of work. Thank you for entertaining us :-) I hope you get a hundred million subs.
Thanks a lot! 🙌
I'd love to see an improved version without a time limit, maybe with the original gearbox working. The idea was good, i'm just not sure if PLA plastic is going to be enough to handle the forces involved more than once or twice.
Yeah I should probably build the gearbox and stress test it with just a 2kg weight to see whether it works. I actually used TPEG because I read that’s supposed to be sturdier.
Wow, I am amazed by the fact you never gave up and found solutions to all of the problems! This seemed pretty hard and frustrating to do . So be proud of yourself!
Thank you 🙏
@@NjordArtisanI thank you 🙏 ☺️
That’s freaking awesome!!! Every guy knows that if they could they absolutely would.
The stress must have been intense but it turned out pretty good!
does anyone remember shadow fight 2 ??
My man you are an absolute legend, you fought bravely in this project bro and it turned out amazing congrats!! 😭 im mad excited to play this game it looks insanely beautiful and kinda gave me some mononoke vibes with the big boar, and also lots of fun to play as a monster hunter fan. Your video just made me even more excited. Thanks for sharing your art man!! 🫡
So sick dude, keep the inspiration flowing. I appreciate it 🤙
Thanks! Will do!
That was amazing now make a version that glows green 😍
That looks so sick. Such a smart design too, although all of the setbacks were certainly very disheartening.
Wow, you made it work which is fantastic! Fair play, felt your pain!!!
Good job persevering! Excellent work 😊👍
Very cool! The problems of your build only happend because it was sooooo complicated ... not many people would be able to pull this of! You can really be proud! And I really love your humor :D
this is why i hate deadlines. Its such a shame to see you get so frustrated at a frankly avoidable issue. I love the piece and your design, id love to see more in the future.
EA moment
That is such an interesting life experience, to create video game weapons from ground up. I definitely should experience smithing one day.
27:55 I was caught off guard with this one. It was funny asf bro. Keep up the good work man!!
That's Zabimaru. EA plagiarizing Bleach?
Nahh, ik your aware but zabimaru is way different, just because it functions similar to zabimaru doesn't mean its copied after it, if that were the case the katana would be same as the kopesh simply cause they're swords.
That's not how plagiarism works or what it is lol
As if zabimaru was original whip sword
Your slow
I think people asking if you’re slow are the slow one, literally me when I don’t understand a joke
I am too lazy to type a good comment, but Ibwant to.
With a little more reliability I could see that being useful in combat. Definitely a well executed project. It's so cool… keep up the great work!
the fact that even with all the mechanics it’s still capable of acting as a normal sword plus a kickass blade whip is impressive and cool
The climax was extremely underwhelming
bet you've heard that one alot
@@Miss_GiggleFarts from your mom 😳😆
@@chincemagnet lmao
Im sure that wasnt the 1st time for you~
@@vallriah6972 goddamn I’m getting tore up and emasculated 😆
Loved everything about this video!!!! ❤
The fact that you actually made an irl snake katana/sword is so dope I thought it would be impossible to do but it’s not bro your the coolest
GEEZ Not only does it look perfect, the mechanism is also perfect! You are extremely talented and smart!
Love forging youtube, always have. This video was absolute GREEK FIRE. great job man, despite the setbacks you managed to get a great end product
I felt that last break hard man. You are a bastion of strength my man.
You’re awesome man. That katana look sick
Yooooo this was one of the coolest builds I ever seen awesome bro 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾
Thanks!
Dude i am a sub for life now lol this video is extremely well done. You are so talented! Keep doing your thing man!
Thanks 🙌
Your hard work and dedication is admirable but I can't deny that it's very cathartic to see you fail every so often and have to find Solutions to these obstacles it goes to show that no matter how skilled you are You'll Always Find difficulties in any which way there is no simple one road or Flawless with no mistakes and that gives me hope because it shows that no road is easy and it's worth it when you take your time and when obstacles find you it's worth taking the time to fix them rather than fear them and give up. Thank you for this video and your dedication to your artwork
Yes, exactly! 🙌 And thanks for watching!
Grew up with a dad that was a master welder/ fabricator, its really nice watching a video where we understand the processes put into a piece like this. Plus the end result is damn awsome! Good on you man, shits awsome :D
Thanks 🙏
Super cool brother awesome work. The blacksmith gods are pleased.
Das hast du wirklich Sau stark gemacht 👍 Sehr schön das du bei Problemen nicht aufgibst, und eine Lösung dafür suchst 👍
