Also die Technik beim schmieden war jetzt nicht so berauschend, die Wärmebehandlung ist vorraussichtlich auch leider sehr dürftig gewesen- kein Normalisieren, keine Kornverfeinerungszyklen, vermutlich vor dem härten nicht lange die Temperatur gehalten, ungleichmäßige Temperatur der Klinge, Klinge immer wieder aus dem Öl gezogen und sehr ungenauer Anlassprozess. Die Struktur vom Stahl ist nach dem Schmieden normalerweise völlig im Ar*** und das sieht man auch bei der gebrochenen Angel. Es benötigt eben die Zyklen danach um die Struktur vor dem härten wieder gut zu bekommen. Für die Kreativität, das Durchhaltevermögen und den Aufwand für alles selbst Werkzeuge zu machen muss ich dir allerdings gratulieren. Auch das Endergebnis ist zumindest von der Optik richtig schön geworden- und wie man sieht, schneidet es auch :) Zum Thema Wärmebehandlung würde ich dir die Videos von Knife steel nerds auf yt empfehlen, sowie das Buch "Knife engineering" Zum schmieden der Bevels- kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZprQeYqcd7qMo5Y Extravideo für die WB schön zusammengefasst kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnWanmWVqtiFoc0

I’m how long do you think it took to cut that spring, about what was your starting material weight from it? Or did you go by length and play it by step? This is my next project and this video is about what I’m going for on the finished sword, thanks

It is thought that most medieval swords where designed and proportioned geometrically like this, similar to gothic cathedrals. In contrast to this earlier swords often dont fit into geometrical patterns and their can proportions not be expressed in such neat fractions.

Kudos to you. I thought about getting into the forging business myself, but I don’t have the skills. Besides, I have OCD, so I go nuts over perfecting drawing sword designs, let alone forging them. Anyway, I’m not sure that I would have the attention span nor patience to do it.

Its on page 66, you may not recognise it immediately because the guard is a bit fatter in the middle and the Pommel is a bit more pointy. Maybe something with a narrower (or no) fuller would be better for a first try. I found it very easy to slip grinding the wide fuller. Good luck.

In my copy it is on page 66, its the 9th sword listed and has "INIOINI" inlayed on the blade. Maybe we have sligthly different copys. Im not shure which sword you mean, but general advice would just be to keep it simple, nothing long, one or no fuller and no rings on the guard that you have weld on. Remember to have enough excess material on the blade for scale and forging mishaps.

Thanks! I ended up using both hands because it was a bit unwieldy. I think if i could make the chain and and handle lighter to shift the point of balance towards the grip and made the grip longer (and maybe with a pommel?), that would make it a lot more effective, i think. Im also thinking of integrating a sheath in the handle, and making the thin back part foldable, kinda like a bats wing. Someday...

@@davidantweiler4729 That is a lot of improvements you have in your mind! But with an absolute honesty i think it is never gonna be really comfortable to wield, just because you need to keep constant focus on the position of the blade to the piece/object you are gonna be slashing. Btw. I loved both of your sword builds you published, i watched them at least 20x each 😃

Youre probably right about that, its really more of a gimmick, but i find the thought experiment quite interesting. But using it was actually less scary than i thought it would be, as long as you keep swinging it can't really hit you. But if i make a Mark ii, it would probably make sense to make a dummy blade, or get some armor to test some moves safely. Thanks man, thats great to hear. I really need to get my shit together, and make some more. Im just finishing up my treadle hammer, that should make a lot of the laborious clamping jigs redundant.

This deserves more views than it's gotten. How thin was the edge prior to the quench, and was it distally tapered before the heat treat, or was that ground out afterwards?
@davidantweiler4729
@davidantweiler4729 3 жыл бұрын
Thanks. I think the edge was probably ~0.6-2mm, i made it thinner than what i have heard recommended in some parts, because i could not have gotten it wide enough otherwise. I think distal taper was mostly forged, the leaf spring i used had a hole in the middle, which i wanted to push as far forward as possible. The curve of the edge is a bit flatter at the point where the hole was because i could only use half the width of the leaf spring.
