Amazing! Forging to recreate the sword buried for 2000 years under the tomb of Qin Shi Huang

On March 1, 1994, the "Eighth Wonder of the World" - the cavalry of soldiers and horses (terracotta statues of people and horses) officially began excavation. This is one of the great archaeological discoveries of this century. In it, a treasure sword was found that is still very sharp without rust, everything is like new even though it has been more than 2000 years. I liked this sword so much I decided to make it and challenge myself. Hopefully it will bring a new perspective to the viewer about swords!

[@rongwu-sj9ws]

Impressive, buddy, you're a real genius. I can't imagine how you did it. You've faithfully recreated even the tiniest decorative details. There's just one small flaw: according to the laws of the Great Qin Empire, every weapon must bear the name of its maker. While the original purpose of this law was to immediately trace any production-related issues back to the craftsman, I strongly recommend that you inscribe your own name on the sword-not for tracing purposes, but because you absolutely deserve it. Let anyone who sees this sword see your name!

[@Arts-and-Crafts]

Thank you very much man, what a great idea, maybe I will do that in the nearest future, thanks for encouraging me!

[@hesed012]

Beautiful workmanship. It's a piece of art. The sword should be kept in a museum.

[@Arts-and-Crafts]

Thank you !!!

[@jrwkd6114]

During the Qin Shihuang period, copper alloy was used, which has memory function. The sword in the hands of the Terra Cotta Warriors was bent. More than 2000 years later, when the thing on it was taken away, the sword rebounded completely. In addition, the genuine product was not re polished and placed on a stack of A4 paper. With the weight of the sword gently pulled, it can cut 200 pieces and directly cut the steel wire. The sword is not damaged.

Very nice piece of work. One thing I will say is that where the tang meets the blade (the right angle) there should be a radius. This stops the blade getting cracks there and snapping off at the tang. Did you temper the blade after hardening? Once again, great piece of work.

[@laialan8659]

A beautiful replica steel sword, but the original is a bronze sword.

Han Jian replica. Looks like it'd be right at home in a movie or series in the Three Kingdoms era. There've series on stories in The Romance o' the Three Kingdoms (historical fiction inspired by real Chinese history).

[@nimblehuman]

The terracotta army is epic. Myself, I have 3" replicas of Qin Shi Huangdi and 3 of his soldiers and one horse. This sword is a glimpse at what those men looked like alive and in person.

The original sword is special and a mystery due to its varying hardness qualities. It's more hard in some parts and more flexible in others.

Great work, great craftsmanship. Nobody could expect a full replica of the original, there’s just no way for someone at a home forge to extract chromium sulfide and put it into the blade. However it is still a well made piece.

[@Arts-and-Crafts]

[@vanng5689]

@@Arts-and-Crafts you missed out the text amongst the pattern...

[@roberteckert9152]

Beautifully done!

[@GaisaSanktejo]

Umm... maybe I missed something, but the transition between blade and tang appeared to be square cut with your file, if thats the case, that blade could have some serious problems if ever used, even when cutting things like sticks, bottles or bamboo, such a sharp transition is a dangerous weak point on many knives, swords and the like which they are known to snap at the worst possible moment. Most black smiths I know tend to round or bevel the transition from blade to tang to prevent that very issue! Other than that, the work looks amazing! keep up the good work!

[@Arts-and-Crafts]

Thank you for watching and giving your feedback, I appreciate it!

[@kyleeames8229]

What an impressive homage! Such a creation would have been pure flattery to the blade-smith who inspired you. From what I can tell, those blades were sub-par; even by the standards of the time.

[@yb554]

Been waiting to see someone recreate this sword. Hoping someone does it in bronze

I bet the ancient Chinese wish they had spring steel like that!

[@santosdionma9453]

MAGNIFICO!!!!

[@superzman2999]

How much would it cost to own one of these ?

[@roninviking2373]

Me reading the comment section " ThIs Is NoT FoRGiNg " oh crap does he just grind the blade? ... Nope, forging the tang.... Maybe he grinds the blade to shape? ... Nope, there he's forging the tip... Oh because he grinds the bevels and uses 5160 it's somehow less of a sword. Grinding the bevels does not make it any less hand forged ( if so then there is no such thing as a hand forged Damascus blade, and also stage props can be functional, but from the moment that this has an edge on it, it stopped being a prop. All and all I say good work man, haters are gonna do the only thing they are good at. Just ignore them and keep making beautiful work.

[@Arts-and-Crafts]

Thank you very much, it's nice to be able to read these words, it's a great motivation for me. God bless you

[@LightOverDark753]

Nice Work. I've been thinking about making my own sword, would 1095 high carbon and 1060 high carbon steel be a good hybrid for it?

[@Arts-and-Crafts]

You can combine it to make swords, but you have to temper it with low heat and temper it well to avoid chipping and cracking the sword, because it is a hard steel.

[@LightOverDark753]

@@Arts-and-Crafts Okay, thanks

[@Zentron]

The finished item looked fantastic! Though for producing a regular pattern like that on the computer, rather than cutting it out, trace over the top on a separate later in black, make the background transparent, then Define Pattern, after that just fill with the pattern and the program will do the rest... no 'Copy' 'Paste' 'Align' 'Copy' 'Paste' 'Align' etc, it's all done for you fast.

[@jumpingoutbackjack]

Methinks back then the pattern was engraved into the blade to act as blood grooves so as to provide continuous non stick aerodynamics during action.

[@Arts-and-Crafts]

I think it's decorative!

[@Kevin-jb2pv]

9:21 - "Next use a sandpaper with moisture content between 240 - 1000 to polish" Yay Google translate? Don't tell me it's because it's wet/ dry sandpaper, because he was cutting 240 grit sandpaper into strips as that came up, so he was _absolutely_ talking about the grit...

[@tat2freek]

Beatuful!

[@user-tm6js3yl3r]

People really need to understand different between forging and steel carving. 2000 years of Disappointment

[@justinhart8652]

Have I got this right that pattern was made on a very old sword if so how did they get it on the sword originally?

[@GaisaSanktejo]

If the original sword was bronze, they probably used a mallet and fine chisel made out of something harder. If it was steel, they probably forged it and allowed it to cool slowly to anneal the metal, which would make it softer than hardened steel, then used a hardened steel chisel to do the work, then tempered the near finished product 😉

[@Ranstone]

Did you skip the annealing process?

[@motixdiabolic8792]

Great job i love it But mabye an end cap for the scabbard would make it look a bit more complete

[@Arts-and-Crafts]

You mean the tip of the scabbard!

[@cubancigarman2687]

End cap is the correct term in English. But, yes it is an ornament at the tip of the scabbard. I wish I had the money to commission you to do some swords for me. I do love steel. Must be something in my blood. I have lots of knives. 1060,1065,1070, 1095, 51200, magnucut, s30v, s90v, s35vn, cpm d2, and many more steels. My dream is to have a Jian made of cpm 4v. Yes it would be awesome. I like your work, very efficient and to the point.

[@Arts-and-Crafts]

beautiful re-creation!

[@LordRahl11]

Forging is everything from hammering the tip to hammering the tang and the starting of the bevels into the sword. Hammering on cold metal even with a wooden mallet has chances to introduce stress fractures into the metal. Still a very good reproduction but nothing more than a wall hanger the way I look at it. But I am just some dude.

[@Arts-and-Crafts]

Thank you ! It is crushed after tempering at a temperature of 220 degrees, and impacts the blade at high temperatures, so creating cracks is unlikely.

[@ChowMeinDelivery]
