[@BronzeAgeSwords]

its funny you can here me sqeak with pain when i pic up the rapier i had a very painful back that day

[@WynnofThule]

I hope your back is feeling better today Neil

[@ariomannosyemo9090]

Hurray!!!

[@greenjack1959l]

I saw a San hunter with a steel knife and sheath that was almost identical to that. The sword music is lovely, you can imagine them playing music on their weapons around the fire.

More videos please!

[@BronzeAgeSwords]

done two more just for you maybe out them in september

[@dwi2921]

I'd love to see one of those Sardinian copper blades one day. I find the idea of using copper for such a large weapon of war fascinating and frankly somewhat unbelievable. I would have thought copper was to soft for such a long blade. 12 inches sure but double that? Mind boggling really. The copper age peoples were far more ingenious than we give them credit for I think.

[@xlDeathlxJosey]

Your work is stunning. One of these days when I'm not broke I'm gonna definitely being buying one of these.

[@masonc9786]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge

[@greencreekranch]

A new video! I'm hyped

[@Teemothay]

That really was something, thanks Neil!

[@ThiccboiSalmon]

Thank you so much for the video! Your knowledge is invaluable and you work is stunning.

[@SardinianWarrior]

Lovely as usual! and thanks for mentioning Sardinia!!! Huge hugs!!!

[@bigoldgrizzly]

Must be what put the 'tin' in tintinnabulation I am sure that the men who put so much care and skill to produce such elegant and extremely functional blades would have taken care to do the same with the handle. I think the balance you have struck would have been applauded by the maker of the original piece.

[@cty345]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on here, really captivating.

[@tobhomott]

Glad to see you are making videos!

[@erichusayn]

Very, very nice work sir!

[@GIITW.5OKC]

Wow.. I never expected you to upload again.... I originally heard of you from Skallagrim.

[@pj_mckenna]

Keep the videos coming!

[@drcfgonzo4961]

Fascinating work, your reproductions are so dedicated to the details, love it! I tried chiseling decorations onto bronze blades several times with bronze tools only but this takes forever as they get blunt so rapidly

[@BronzeAgeSwords]

not all bronze is even, even if the alloy is identicle how its cast and chilled make a big differnce

[@tothzoltanhenrik1681]

Fantastic, Neil!

[@edgartorres1601]

Very nice 👍 what a relaxing and interesting video 😁 I’ve never seen a rapier shaped quite like that before 😮

[@BronzeAgeSwords]

i think there is around 1100 of them in the UK so they take many forms

[@MisterDusterix]

Good to see new videos Neil. I very much hope to buy one of your beautiful bronze swords in the not too distant future. I would be like a child in a toy shop in that workshop hehe.

[@Captain_Crusty]

Fantastic video! Hope there's more out soon

[@BronzeAgeSwords]

[@ptonpc]

Thank you for these videos.

[@Dominator046]

Beautiful content. Sharing wherever I can.

[@mild_meme]

Much appreciated, Neil! Interesting video, especially for a Scot like me. I hope your back has eased up, videos are great but your health is more important!

[@kc3718]

[@IIAnaxiezzII]

This was absolutely fascinating. I’ve been waiting for more videos since your last one ages ago. So glad to see you’re back!

[@zoomzoom3950]

My name is Rexor, I tell ppl I’m an Atlantean survivor: an ancient man from ancient high civilization, destroyed in a cataclysmic event, when my people became war like. Anyways, it’s all a bunch of bullshit I made up, some of it anyways. 😊 I own a Conan the barbarian windless steel craft Master sword⚔️ because it’s badass ☠️ and I put two and two together and I came up with (Rexor the Atlantean and the sword of Crom) 🗡️ 🫡🕺at your service. Well man, I love your content man, check this out ole bean 🫘… … melting down bits of ancient bronze to make a modern bronze sword.. because why not “?” Bahaha I’m pretty sure I’m brilliant and you my good sir, are a national treasure. 🙏⚔️

Hi mr. Neil. Really liked your video. Only the term "rapier" is not really being used properly, I think :) rapier is a specific type of sword, specific to the iberian type from the 16th century, and its europeans imitations. It most likely comes the term "roupeira", or "ropera".

[@BronzeAgeSwords]

it may be difffernt where you live but here there is a whole typology based on rapiers

[@BernasLL]

​@@BronzeAgeSwords Can you point me to literature using the term like that, establishing that typology? That's very peculiar. Anachronistic, even.

[@BernasLL]

​@@BronzeAgeSwords No need. Googled "bronze age rapier" and it appears indeed it's a term used in the field of Bronze Age weaponry, though it does come across as an unnecessary anachronism (ignorant of the terms actual origins, and specifications) by whoever introduced it. I would still try to avoid it, though.

Look up ASMR

[@JohnDoe-ee6qs]

Your website seems to be a gambling site

[@BronzeAgeSwords]

my web people went bust after taking the money and are probably sitting in some tropical paradise , shit happens in life. Just have to get through cancer first

[@JohnDoe-ee6qs]

Well, that is more important, wish you luck and improving health, interesting channel
