I Forged This Beautiful Sword From Rusty Scrap Steel

ADVERTISEMENT

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.

The piece of scrap steel that became this beautiful sword

All of the fittings were hand made from other pieces of scrap

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
