Hey guys,

this is my first post in the forging-community.

I want to make a modern katana, but it should be made by a low budget, so without damascus steel and Tsuba.

But the metallurgy-process will be made by a professional bladesmith.

I am not sure if I should use 1.2235 (80CrV2) or C75 (1.1248) ?!

The blade will be 40-50cm long and 3-4mm thick...what do you think about this and how wide do you think?

As a proof that I am not a beginner :D 

Nice greetings from Germany ;)
