Blacksmith Rates 9 Forging Scenes From Movies And TV | How Real Is It? | Insider

I love Mark Wahlberg, but at the rate he's hitting, it would take him three fucking days to get that steel out. Hello, my name is Neil Kamimura. I am a

blacksmith

-knifesmith from Hawaii. The name of my company is T Kamimura Blacksmith. It was established in 1932, Hilo, by my great-grandfather. Today we will look at some

blacksmith

ing

scenes

and some

forging

scenes

from some

movies

, and see how

real

they are. Robert Downey Jr. has the best hammer swing. He looked like he had practiced. He was standing near the anvil, and he's basically cold

forging

mild steel. So cold forging is not about using heat to make it flexible like clay;

He's actually just striking cold steel. I don't quite understand, on the one hand, why he has the forge turned on in the back, since he is forging it cold. I don't know what he was doing, because the steel had no color. He was probably slow-forging it, just making it work. But he's cooling it off because he looks great. They love steam. He looks like he is holding a cup of tea because the pot is not hot. I personally don't think he would create a perfect ring. It would have to be a wax mold that you mold on both sides with sand.

It wouldn't just be pouring some hot tea into it and then forming a perfect, polished, electronics-ready ring. He'd give it a 7, just because I like "Iron Man." Rambo: You know what you are; what you are made of. Oh boy. This is the one I hate the most. And it's not because I don't like "Rambo." I love "Rambo." But the problem is that, on the one hand, this is a

real

store. It's a store that someone worked at, so there was someone around who knew what he was doing. Second, Sylvester Stallone sells a "Rambo" knife at every release and has knife-making friends.

I'm friends with Jason Momoa; He would never let him do a forging scene like this in a million years. And he's using a ball-peen hammer, like something out of a mechanic's chest. A ball peen hammer weighs one pound, or perhaps 12 ounces. My hammer weighs 4 pounds. And I'm pretty sure he likes lifting weights, so I don't know why he wouldn't use a real hammer. Rambo: What are you made of? Look, right there, he keeps hitting it at the end. All he's doing is putting sturdy square holes, marks in the bottom of that thing. So, here's your anvil, right?

You have the horn. How sexy, right? You've got this horn, you've got this nice curve on your back, right? And then you have the center mass in the middle. Then there is a 1 inch square sturdy hole, which is meant to place tools in there. You have to remember that steel is hot, and you're just hitting a square hole, you turn it over, and you just have square hole marks all over it. I don't know why they don't tell him, "Hey, buddy, hit the center of the anvil. Why do you keep hitting it over the hole? Rambo: When they push you.

When you grab steel at that moment." temperature and you put it out in water, it microfractures. 5.160 should be quenched in oil but there is no need to quench it, because it obviously didn't finish forging it and made nothing more than a pancake on the end of a blade. Spring. Two, it's magic water, because you cool it in water and lift it up and it's still hot, which is also unrealistic. If you put it in water, it would lose its heat immediately. In the fake it was so bad that it was so thick that it didn't do anything to it, so it still stayed warm.

I consider this a major liability, as in all the "Rambo"

movies

, he is faking it. There are like five fucking "Rambos"? How come no one has said, "Hey, dude, you suck." Shouldn't you do those scenes anymore?" Or, "Go take a lesson in doing it." I give it a 1. F--- "Rambo." I love the movie, but I don't like the fakery. So the fact If I could remove the handle with two hammer blows, it definitely wouldn't have survived the battle, since you're hitting from edge to edge, but at least in this case some of them are set, and a lot of them are pierced, and then. the knob is what holds it, but you definitely can't just grab it and then it comes off.

So when you're melting steel in an open crucible like they were doing, one, there wouldn't just be orange flames. It would be the craziest thing, look at the sun. Two, the real The crucible itself would have to be hot. That's just black, so it didn't get hot, but somehow, the sword is melting on a black surface, which is the most. ridiculous that has ever been made. They were made of bronze. They were not made of steel. It takes about 3,000 degrees to cast steel, that type of steel. Bronze has a lower melting temperature, so it was much easier to cast and cast, but when they did cast it, it was not open cast.

It is poured on both sides, so that you can pour it from the top and it will fill up and leave a perfect mold. The sword would look like a cookie on a baking sheet, so that's pure nonsense---. I don't quite understand how you got a sword and melted it, and somehow you've made enough to make two swords now. You actually lose mass by melting steel that way. I would definitely give it a 4. What I liked about this scene is that they actually had her cast, in a mold, and he was breaking the mold. There are many different techniques.

You can melt an ax because it's usually not made of very good steel, because it takes a lot of abuse, compared to a chef's knife which has to be the highest quality carbon steel because it has to be razor sharp. . Axes are brute force that should be hard rather than sharp. I've never seen butt-forged steel weld like that in one stroke, and it wasn't hot enough. And if you ever put wood next to something that hot, it would disintegrate. He is not held to much responsibility because it is not real. A tree guy is giving his arm as a handhold.

I mean, you can't take it too seriously. I don't understand why he didn't melt it into one, but there's no way you can solder something like that. 6. I don't know. Despite all the big muscles on him, and I love Mark Wahlberg, but at the rate he's swinging, it would take him three fucking days to draw that steel without interruptions. It would literally take him three days to do that hammer blow. It's the weakest swing I've ever had... I mean, it's pretty bad. He loves the hole too. Do you see him hitting the hole? Everyone loves that hole.

Nobody wears a glove on their hammer hand, ever, because it's dangerous to hold a hammer on that hand with a glove on, because it will just slip out of your hand. But if you're going to wear gloves in a blacksmith shop, they should be gloves that you can shake like this and they will fly away, because once the leather gets that hot, it will cook your hand internally in seconds. You see people go crazy and they can't take the glove off. It will cook your hand like an oven. Evan: Are there things you just know how to do?

Just there. You see, they generally don't turn out "finished" forged blades that look like a path going up a mountain. That thing as curvy and twisted as can be. Once it goes out like this, you're good to go. You will have to take the job slowly: no one would ever put out a crooked leaf. Two, it's just warming up the tip. So basically, it's heating up so much right here, so only this part of the leaf would be hot. All of this would be soft and bend, warp. Traditionally, in Japanese weapons, the blade is straight, as if forged.

There is a clay on the back to prevent the column from hardening, so it protects it from heat, and then only the edge is exposed. The edge becomes hard and that is what creates the natural curvature of a samurai sword. So you don't come in fucking bent and crooked, for one and two, the curvature is not forged. It is actually quenched and through the heat treatment process the blade bends. This is the best part ever, where he cuts a steel pipe. Swords don't cut pipes. People think samurai swords are the baddest things on the planet, and they are, for their time.

But that doesn't necessarily mean it was the toughest and could punch through concrete and through it; no, actually they were, some of them had a lot of mild steel. Many of them bent and broke. And this movie is about him doing it traditional, right? This is not how traditional Japanese blacksmiths test a finished product. And they are such a respect-based culture that you're not even supposed to touch steel with your hand. They didn't want to take it and hit a damn pipe with it. It would be the ultimate lack of respect towards them. I'll give it a 2.

If you look at the first opening scene, there's one, two, three, four, five, six pieces of broken sword, and then when they go to put it back together, it's only two pieces. So flow is like borax. Basically, as it heats up, it's almost like molten glass that clears it to allow it to stick. When you are forging something on a flat surface and you hit it with a hammer, it will never stay as full. And the fullest thing is that curved point in the middle of the leaf. It's on both sides, so hitting it will just flatten it.

The proper way to fix a broken blade like this would be to remove the handle and guard, cut it into smaller pieces, add more material, weld it back together, and forge a new blade. You can tell by its movement. who have never touched a hammer in their lives. And it's not hot enough to butt weld a forged blade. For forging and welding, it costs 2,300. It is a brighter color. It's not orange, it's white. 6, because they were actually introducing air into a coal forge. They were putting flux in there to try to solder it. So another, once again, another open mold.

And then he fakes it. I have no idea what he is doing or what kind of oil they put in there to make him do that. They're putting grease or wax or oil, and they're putting it on the hammer to create all this fire, but they don't care if the steel was hot enough or not or where it hits it on the anvil. Watch this! Only the tip is hot, look. And then we're going to turn this sword into snow. Oh Lord. So what happens is, when you take a sword like this and turn it into oil, the reason they move it up and down as they turn it off is because what it does is it's so hot that it creates a layer of steam. which is coming around it, and that's why it's boiling around it, so it's steam, so you're not really cooling it quickly unless you put it in new oil, right?

So when you put it out in snow, it would instantly melt around you and then not touch you at all. I also still sharpen knives on a stone. Maybe not a rock like that, but, I mean, they probably just picked it up and said, you know, I don't know. I would give it a 5 only because it was from the 80's and they didn't know any better. As he taps the anvil, he says, tap-tap, and then taps the anvil. You're not even swinging it that hard. You don't need to hit the brakes. It's the most ridiculous thing ever.

If you ever see a video of me forging, I'm swinging a 3-5 pound hammer and, yes, sometimes when I move the blade, I have to keep my hand moving. I don't understand how you are recording with a nail. It's like the nail on a log cabin. So this here is my forging seal. It is made hot and pressed. I just hit it with a hammer. Yes, I give it a 4. It wasn't hot enough to solder, and that's basically what they're trying to replicate. As you forge it and bend it, it removes the impurities. They're trying to hit him and they can't even keep him on the anvil.

But I don't understand how they turn that little disk into a half-inch thick plate with perfect square edges when they swing a hammer like that. So why make a plate bigger than the anvil, right? You can't forge it or weld it. Look at it. It just swings on its own. You just want to open it enough to bend it, because how would you create enough even pressure to weld it all together? You would hit it here, and then it would weld here, and then it would come loose here. You would hit him here. You want constant reducing pressure.

I would give this a 3. I don't have a favorite of any of them. I don't think the movies themselves have ever captured it. It's just annoying because it affects me. They say, "All you have to do is serve the knife. It's not that difficult." And I said, "B---, I swing a hammer for a living." I sacrifice my body to swing a hammer. They think I just pour it into a mold, you know? So hopefully now this will get enough exposure that they can actually do something good.
