I forged this beautiful wakizashi inspired sword from rusty scrap steel found along an abandoned train track that had not been used since the late 1970’s. This once forgotten piece of steel that was destined to slowly rust away with the decay of time now has a new life as a gorgeous piece of art with some really cool history attached to it.

All of the fittings were hand made from other pieces of scrap
The copper pieces which were once pieces of old plumbing pipe
The finished sword
And here’s a video showing the forging of a Katana/Wakizashi inspired sword from scrap steel
