Apart from being the CEO of Meta, Mark Zuckerberg loves to keep on trying new things and challenge himself. The proof of the same is his Instagram account. On Sunday, Zuckerberg took to the social media platform to share pictures and videos of himself while crafting a sword.

Under the guidance of master Akihira Kokaji, the billionaire made a special Japanese sword known as a katana. The sword, with a single, curved blade, was used by samurais in feudal Japan. In the post, Zuckerbergwas seen hammering the molten metal into a sword and even using his newly-built weapon. He also shared a picture of the sword that he made and a snap with Kokaji.

“Really special afternoon learning about making katanas with master akihira.kokaji -- thank you for sharing your craft with us!” he wrote in the caption of the post.

As the post went viral, social media users flooded the comments section with their thoughts. While some found it awesome, others called Zuckerberg a “true ninja”.

“Childhood dreams right there,” one user wrote. Another user commented, “You’re on the path to becoming a true ninja, first hand to hand combat you mastered now on to the blade!”

“Ngl, that’s pretty cool,” a third user remarked. A fourth user added, “I have always wanted one of those.”

Meanwhile, in January, the Meta chief created waves on social media after revealing that he has begun to raise cattle on a ranch to develop "the highest quality beef in the world". The billionaire claimed that the cattle would be eating macadamia meals – rich in vitamins, minerals, fibre, and antioxidants -- and drinking beer produced at the ranch.

"Started raising cattle at Ko'olau Ranch on Kauai, and my goal is to create some of the highest quality beef in the world. The cattle are Wagyu and Angus, and they'll grow up eating macadamia meal and drinking beer that we grow and produce here on the ranch," Zuckerberg wrote on Instagram.
