Wonder how much better it would be if the Metal was a Combination of 5160 Spring Steel, D3 or S5 Tool Steel, Vanadium, and Rhodium.

[@OleDirtyMacSanchez]

The 1st Handle (which is the 1 shown being made in the Video) is more Aesthetically pleasing than the 2nd Handle.

[@Grandwigg]

​@@OleDirtyMacSanchezI fully agree, though I wonder if a diamond pattern would be too difficult to make with the cord (Instead of the multiple parallel bands of V2, I mean).

[@OleDirtyMacSanchez]

@@Grandwigg Shouldn't be too much of a hassle, that is why Leather is either wettened like Tyranth did do, or Submerged in Water to let it be soaked for periods of time. Then there's Boiling Leather, and Salt Water Brines, course that's more for Clothing, Holsters, Sheaths, and Leather Armor.

[@Harry-StéphaneMcManus]

Some of your videos are now dubbed in french with an insufferable AI voice. The translation is also mediocre. If you have the possibility, you should turn off the AI dubbing because it does not improve your videos.

[@ryanwalker8843]

I really think Tyranth should look into learning to smith. He clearly has an aptitude for making things. Im sure he'd take to it quite well. Imagine being able to do builds from scratch. Though I understand that it might have a price barrier for him as no doubt getting lessons and setting up even a small forge is not cheap at all.

[@allcapsboy9139]

@KyleRoyerKnives should take him on as an apprentice

[@bigolbearthejammydodger6527]

I whole heartedly agree with this. and lets be honest, if he gets good - his YT vids would be adverts for his own product line.. hell he may end up sponsoring shad vids! let the apprentice surpass the master! This and he has half the kit already with a lathe, mill and belt grinder.

[@TYRANTH_]

Ive got most of the theoretical knowledge and have forged small things before , but I just dont have the space at all sadly and on top of that I really really dont have the time maybe one day tho.

[@ryanwalker8843]

@@TYRANTH_ ah I see that's fair enough

[@SeanBook001]

I think it would be an awesome series! Especially if he did it entirely from free videos on YT, link the vids he uses, build all your main tools etc. I think that would be awesome

[@spacemichael1177]

[In Aragorn's voice] "This is a good sword".

[@BMO_Creative]

IDEA!!! Honchu should make several swords based on youtuber preferences for us to purchase! A Honchu Tyranth sword, a Skall sword, a Shad Honchu sword! It would be legendary!

[@Sam-pg9sr]

The sword kinda has a vampiric character to it between the dark red, fanged crossguard, and the octagonal pommel that has a cobweb vibe to it. Very cool.

[@Resef0486]

Disappointed in the lack of T.I.T.S but overall a great and informative video

[@rjnighthawk3620]

I always love watching Tyranth doing cuts. They just look so flawless and elegant!

[@JRxxx]

I really want to see Tyranth cut through a stack of tatami mats.

[@dorianshepard2841]

Him and Shad always bicker about who cuts better, but as an observer Tyranth movements are more clean and fluid, also doesn't allow his gear to impede as much

[@Assdafflabaff]

You don't like Shad clumsily twisting his torso around sideways, barely generating any power and going HAAAA every time?

[@thisdude9363]

​@@dorianshepard2841Tyranth is also stronger. Shad has a medical issue that means he's essentially always dealing with chronic fatigue. Chances are it'll end him someday, sadly.

[@bridgeburner909]

@@thisdude9363 it won't end him buddy. My Mum has been living with it for most of my life and I'm 36. It limits what she can do but it certainly hasn't killed her. It's certainly not a nice thing to have though.

[@tuzden]

I prefer the V1 handle that you went with, nice and detailed but not aggressively so whereas V2 feels like there is almost too much going on at the handle compared to everything else it really stands out

[@musicfanatic24]

Tyranth's multiple cut sequences are always so satisfying to watch. The sword looks awesome!

[@KuronoCthulhu]

Saw the thumbnail and thought: "Yeah that's what King Tyranth's sword would look like."

[@Logan-cq6bf]

That might be the most beautiful sword I've ever seen

[@Kanudelgruber]

"Fine, I'll do it myself"

[@TYRANTH_]

motto of my life really

[@Joe___R]

Instead of having the guard and pommel milled, look into having them printed out of metal instead. Since it would be a single process and no material is wasted, it will likely be cheaper. You are more than capable of cleaning it up to get all the lines crisp and to the desired finish. There are a good amount of places that you can send them the files and they will make it and ship it to you. They are surprisingly affordable and do a good job.

[@Yull-Rete]

That sword looks so good that Shad could probably even do a horizontal cut with it.

[@Borissh89]

Dann, this sword looks amazing

[@noahsibahi-jackson8757]

This is quite possibly the most beautiful looking sword I have ever seen

[@knightjack]

Watching this as I work on my own custom basket hilt

[@briangates7633]

Dude, that's impressive... A basket hilt would be a real pain in the butt to make but they are one of my top 3 favorite sword hilt styles. The Venetian Schiavona is my personal favorite type of basket hilt sword.

[@Yuki_Ika7]

Nice, i have always wanted a basket-hilt cutlass with a false edge (or would that make it more of a Messer?), with a longer than normal handle, that would probably be my ideal sword

[@dony2852]

Version one of the handle has a cleaner look. That said, they both have their own charm so I would just go with what is more comfortable.

[@manuelabad8682]

If you need more weight, add some led to the pommel, is cheap and easy to melt.

[@bigolbearthejammydodger6527]

or brass, same deal.

[@SimplySwayze]

Beautiful piece, and I agree that V1 was the handle to go with.

[@milire2668]

me too

[@peternoble735]

I really appreciate Tyranth's blunt honesty. Kudos from NZ!!

[@kristianberg1587]

The v1 handle is perfect.

[@Ghork1]

ok, that is just gorgeous

[@Blibers]

I didn't even know this channel existed before today! Hope you're doin well man!

[@TYRANTH_]

well this is my second channel so I dont post much here anymore👍

[@Blibers]

@TYRANTH_ ahh that makes sense.

[@LauraSeeber]

Nice build, and it's nice to see you enjoying yourself. Well done!

[@der_benson4478]

pimp my blade with Tyranth.... We need a TITS score for the sword though, Tyranth got so excited he finished early!

[@Jordan.A.07]

Back edge horizontal cut. Nice. Also, V1 handle is best handle.

[@IanZ_Forge]

Hey! Love the content you have made over the years here and with Shad as well; I am a custom sword smith and blade maker! I very much cringe with most of the production company swords and will always advocate that the best swords are those made as one-offs by a sword smith that have focused their professional efforts to learn the craft! You’ve gotta get me to make a sword for you man, it’s literally what I do! I also do recent build videos on this channel showing the process and my progress in the craft! God bless - Ian

[@connorbeaumont1480]

It's absolutely gorgeous to look at. Clean, elegant and un-pompous.

[@keenanmetzger7547]

I did purchase my own Honshu single-handed broadsword a few months ago and wanted to let you know the one that I received is of good quality, so they must have inconsistent manufacturing.

[@jonathontoney2338]

V1 looks the most comfortable. Make sure when you weld the allthread that after you are done you heat up and thermalcycle the end of the tang around where the weld is. The high heat from the weld will make that spot brittle and prone to snapping, air cooling thermal cycle will help restructure the steel. You did a great job you should learn bladesmithing.

[@DaveTheMotoGamer]

You should try and get shad onboard with making his own custom sword like this one! Non of that online custom sword ordering. Get him into the shop so that he can make it like you did. would love to see something like that between your 2 channels. See who can really make the best custom sword.

[@tankythemagnorite9855]

And then have a historically accurate swordfight with them.

[@JoeRonW93]

Very nice! Regarding the grip, I think you were right to go with the first concept

[@merakimelodies8931]

Hey Tyranth, big fan! I love what you do here and on ScreenTested and on Shadiversity and on Knights’ Watch. You rock, man! Keep it up! 😊

[@Hamond1989]

The slash combination at the end was incredibly beautiful and well executed

[@s.d.bobplissken5674]

V1. Adding ones personal touches on a weapon is interesting. I'd been given a cold steel master tanto some years ago by my uncle when I gifted him a knife. The rubber kraton material supposed to never rot started disintegrating over time. I took the guts out of para cord and removed the strands inside and just used the sheath of it to bind and wrap the hilt til it blended like it was made for it. Functional with character. I look forward to seeing updates on this sword.

[@curtisbright4012]

This is the magic of the blade. There is one that is uniquely yours.

[@thomask7105]

I like the visual of choice 1 that you went with but I feel like choice 2 may be better for grip. Either way I enjoyed the video and love the choice you made Tyranth to make it your own and now your favorite sword 🗡️🙌🏼👏🏼

[@GabrielScar]

Beautiful sword indeed. I personally liked the handle you made in this video, over the alternative one. Musical greetings from Belgium, Gunther (singer and lyrics writer of Gabriel Scar)

[@DoomGuy20]

I prefer the first version of the handle you made. It looks nice and simple, but still complex enough to be beautiful. Overall I have to agree. You made the perfect sword

[@iainpearce6379]

The cross guard you chose is my favourite design for this type of sword as for the handle design I like em both but the first one is definitely my favourite

[@beejeebeehee5964]

That looks fantastic!

[@Grandwigg]

I very much enjoyed this video. I'm glad I got the notification, too. The sword modifications process is so enjoyable to watch. I'm glad this channel still gets some use.

[@Grandwigg]

I liked the first handle design better. And I said in a reply to the pinned comment, I wonder what a diamond pattern would need to make on a cord wrap instead of the v2 pattern. I can only imagine what it would be like with titanium. (But he can't have the titanium currently holding my some in place.) I'm still impressed and in awe of the fight for the crown video on Screen Tested and Shadiversity. I hope Tyranth gets more opportunities to do more of that (and sword improvements like this I've as well)

[@grbdevnull5611]

It would be a bit of work, but you could fabricate a hollow steel version of that pommel and get a similar feel, I suspect. That also has some historical precedent as Tod's Workshop has pointed out.

[@CreepyMF]

That is a gorgeous sword and it fits you perfectly, also it's nice to see an upload on this channel again.

[@bestkoolaid1835]

I’ve been waiting for this for so long! I bought this sword because of you and shad, I just hate the grip so much.

[@octanejunkie6501]

Looks great Tyranth

[@danielglidden9290]

Would love to see more from this channel. You’ve inspired me to start making things again

[@ninjaboyo3370]

It's epic man, i love that handle type as well, even if I find the bottom half a bit thin and short. Looks a bit like trunks's sword. I think you chose well with the design.

[@angelosilva342]

Lovely!

[@JCOwens-zq6fd]

Very nice. Quite similar to the 1st sword I ever made. My tastes have evolved these days though so I don't make as many in that style anymore. However the bastard sword will forever be the sword that introduced me to HEMA & thus will hold a special place.

[@JCOwens-zq6fd]

Btw the handle with less risers looks better imo.

[@pe8268]

A sword with titanium crossguard and pommel would be absolutely insane!

[@WhisperingWisp357]

Getting the pommel and guard design printed in 3D and then sand casted might be a cheaper solution?. It would be a really cool way to add something more rustic/less sleek and hammered looking to the build. I could imagine some work-hardened bronze would look incredible on that blade.

[@GoldBenderr]

It looks awesome really!

[@GrouchyC794]

Nice man! I always wondered why there wasn’t more custom sword vids on here it’s weird. I’ve also always wondered about different crossguard

[@TYRANTH_]

Ive got a few more in the works for this channel so there will be a few extra bits here and there

[@alexanderm8880]

Have you considered selling replacement fittings? Honshu blades are great and they sell them by themselves so mixing and matching fittings would be great! There used to be replacement 3rd party fittings for the Tinker-Pierce Honshu swords but they're never in stock.

[@Mr.PepeSilvia]

That my friend is a thing of beauty

[@aphyxia]

Beautiful handle. V1 was definitely the way to go.

[@annapajak5116]

Keep expanding your channel.. keep expanding your techniques and your camera work and you're speaking skills.. commit hours everyday to your channel... and most definitely let that tyranth energy out.. be that character cos I would love to see him.. I want excitement.. I want an Aussie Conan..

[@josuesepulveda6850]

You made it even better!discovering this chanel second chanel of yours.

[@pinecone89]

That is gorgeous

[@sternonisoil]

Hell yeah, been waiting for this. Beautiful sword 🍻

[@Gterr1971]

Dude ! I like version 2 of the handles. Reminds me of a hockey stick grip. Very functional!

[@IwantTobeARobloxdev]

Yo I already see how much better it is to the other swords that were tested

[@bretlemieux2489]

I honestly like the v2 for the handle. But still a cool handle for the sword.

[@Kingbdc9]

Great video as always!

[@beaversstumpgrinding3352]

Thunder, Thunder, Thunder Cats. HOOOOOO!!!!! /// V1 definitely.

[@timbow1833]

looks real aesthetic

[@TheSpongyMallard]

I think if the cross guard and pummel were a bronze-ish looking gold, it would look perfect.

[@Cosmicglade]

I didnt know you had your own channel, only ever seen you on Shad. New sub!

[@TYRANTH_]

Well this is my second channel my main channel is here : youtube.com/@screentested?si=yzhIUC0ob4OE2YzN

[@mythguard6865]

If you want to try hilting up some other blades in the future you should see if any of the Albion “Bare blades” are to your liking. They’re a bit more work but the end result is absolutely worth it!

[@stephenmac6926]

Nice moves bro!

[@modernviking2.0]

okay thats a beautiful sword

[@LassoKid7777]

I just came across this channel now I'm subbed Ty Tyranth

[@skyhawk6561]

I was really wanting to see how you made that sword when i saw it! Look awesome! Did you machine the pommel and crossguard yourself or did you have those made?

[@nightshade7240]

The reason for the handle being loose but the screws being tight is because they didn't counter sink the screws properly, so they do the opposite of the intention. It's the same thing that can happen with the tsuka on cheap katana that have two mekugi or double pegged. It is easier to have a tight tsuka with a single mekugi but that tends to require a properly friction fit tsuka. When you counter sink the second mekugi ana wrong you unbalance the "equal load" between the two mekugi, and so they actually fight each other, making your tsuka loose. Same thing with your screws.

[@Hot_Dice]

Nice build dude

[@NoTengoStand]

wtf, what do you mean that's all for today? I would've watched 10 more minutes of testing easily. I'm now subbed to this channel and looking forward to see you showing off your new sword some more.

[@PatrickKniesler]

Bladesmith: ahh, another wonderful blade! On the next one I i shall improve my craft even more. Pommel thread welder: ahh, another crappy weld. On the next one I shall ruin yet another sword!

[@SaltyMaverick]

Very nice work! I definitely like the "V1" grip more than the "V2" you showed. I actually have a question for you, if you don't mind. Have you ever tested or worked with the CAS Hanwei "Celtic sword"? It's one of Hanwei's older ones, and it's still available. Just checked on Kult of Athena, and they still have it. I bought one over a decade ago, and it's always one I've wanted to turn into a project sword myself. I'm not satisfied with its grip at all and want to make my own, plus a new guard and pommel. If you haven't worked with it, is there any chance you could get your hands on one and see what you think of it and maybe make some recommendations for a project like this and what you'd change?

[@emblemarms]

That looks incredible. For the cross guard and pommel, Instead of steel what if you went with brass or bronze and did a cast?

[@dearcastiel4667]

If you have an angle grinder, files and some time, the pommel is doable by yourself. Same for the guard but it would probably be a lot harder to get it nice. Tho you could go from a straight piece and heat it in coal to bend it how you want, it's not too hard. Only thing you'd want to pay for is the threading of the pommel, because that's usualy where things go wrong without good equipment.

[@coulterbarber6893]

Dang that thing is swift bro!

[@Morriaphant]

Very nice!

[@battlericky17]

Also i have great ball displayed in my room as well. Genuinely the best design lol

[@Gterr1971]

[@TYRANTH_]

the name of this channel hasnt changed in years im not sure what you mean?

@@Gterr1971 yeah thats my main channel man haha

[@Gterr1971]

@TYRANTH_ ok. I watch your vids so much , I didn't realize you had 2 channels I been watching. Thanks for the heads up brother !

[@DH-xw6jp]

I am actually surprised you didn't try making your own guard and pommel. If you want to keep the pommel lightweight but stuff chunky, make a hollow pommel. Tod shows how he makes hollow rondel pommels, so it is a historically accurate method.

[@battlericky17]

Huge fan and recent subscriber to shad and screen tested. I can drop a sub here too. Really enjoy your chill nature and calm voice while explaining your weapon choices and stuff

[@mansfieldtime]

Sadly, I have no idea how either would feel in the hand, but the one with more large looking wraps appear to give a better grip.

[@joshuatempleton9556]

now we need a shad react vid.

[@Disgruntled_Grunt]

What is the purpose of charring the wood portion of the handle? Does that help the glue to stick? As for your question about the handles, I like V1 best. I can't put my finger on it, but something about the extra ridges in V2 bothers me.

[@Spivacus]

my god it is beautiful

[@gustavoabrantes5713]

beautiful sword

[@TheVgrey]

Love the color wonder how ill look with a pommel/crossguard in light copper

[@zact2342]

Thank you algorithm for letting me know this channel exists!

[@matthewdavies2057]

Tell me you used a grade 8 bolt to replace those crap threads. What size bolt is the stock one? 6m? 1.5 thread pitch? I have a Honshu Tactical Broadsword with the same issue.

[@anderporascu5026]

Tyranth at his best. Also, is that dummy Boromir? And just like that, Tyranth has been converted to the English sword that Brother Shad holds in peak esteem.

[@jakemcnamee9417]

A leaf bladed side sword would be ideal

[@calebbeasley77]

Where the handle flanges doesn’t sit directly on the pressure point near the end of the ring finger?

[@jakemcnamee9417]

I like the idea of a one handed katana witha saber length. I own one handed ones are called wakasashi but I would like a long one, eith a European style hilt
