Darksword Has Gotten Much Better! [Read Description for Update]

[@Skallagrim]

At 0:58 I had a brain malfunction and said 6150 but the blade is indeed made of 5160 steel. Also, I now found out that this sword is not actually the Oslo but a newer, unreleased model. Would have been nice if they had told me.

[@brice2597]

Skallagrim have you seen Alex Steele’s Viking sword he made.

[@LOKO22Bach]

@@brice2597 that one is inspired by sword types of the perioed between 900 - 950 ad, type 3 Geibig's with a Victor's type pommel, but it's not trying to be too historically accurate, that damascus pattern is sick and they wouldn't have made it like that at that time.

Supper late reply but can you explain? Are they not to reputable?

[@IPostSwords]

@Juan Kenobi they gave a spotty track record in terms of construction methods, durability, and transparency regarding where their blades are forged. At least early on, some had insufficiently robust tangs. Some had material failures (Matt Jensen tested one where the guard just snapped like cast iron). I'm not sure how they are today, I've not been actively following the reproduction market recently

[@juankenobi4216]

@@IPostSwords ok gotcha thanks man. Do you have any recommendations then? I have been looking at daggers as well as swords and don’t really have a budget I’m more so just looking for quality.

[@IPostSwords]

@Juan Kenobi there is a pretty long list of makers who prioritise quality. Probably too long for a youtube comment Your generic and more serial production options are Albion, and Arms and Armor. If you go custom, the options widen substantially. A few of my favourites include Mateusz Sulowski, artofswordmaking (maciej kopciuch) - as well as about 100 other makers.

They should do a blade with no bells and whistles for those looking for a good backyard cutter for a lower cost. Just plain brass or bronze guard/pommel with a plain leather hilt without decorations. Should be able to knock off a few dollars on the price that way.

[@ColdNapalm42]

If you want a backyard cutter for this price range, get an Albion squire line sword. It costs 8 bucks more than the sharpened version of this sword. It doesn't have the useless scabbard...but the quality of the sword and sharpening is worth more than having a useless scabbard. Also it comes with a proper blade geometry as well.

I like the slightly longer grip and the curve on that pommel. A lot of viking reproductions out there combine of small sized grip with a pommel shape that is harsh on the hand for anything but a straight hammer grip.

[@24934637]

Always amazes me how flexible sword blades are when shown cutting in slow motion! Even what I would have expected to be a relatively stiff blade such as this one, shows a fair bit of flex! I've seen similar unexpected flex in rifle barrels during firing too to a degree which IF It wasn't consistent, would have a horribly negative effect on accuracy. I spent a good number of years working in my local hospital Emergency Department, and I'm fairly familiar with serious injuries. The amount of damage inflicted by that sword on the 'Ballistics dummy' would without ANY doubt have been quite rapidly fatal! Thick clothing such as a gambeson would however significantly reduced the effect, although it's not something that I'd like to try in real life!

[@The1Helleri]

You can fill the gap that you don't like with Dragon's Blood. It's a fairly inexpensive, dense resin that's resistant to shock damage. It's actually been used in east, near east and middle east for thousands of years to do exactly that. Just heat it in a teaspoon over a candle until it melts and starts to form small bubbles in it. Then carefully tip it into the negative space you want to fill (it should creep to fill around to most of the other side, doing it on on side). It's great stuff for keeping moisture , dust and gunk out of small gaps like that.

Darksword has actually sent good quality pieces to high profile reviewers while still building and sending subpar quality swords to regular buyers. EDIT: This is not a proven occurrence beyond anecdotal evidence from the consumer side of several conversations I had. Now, if all their swords look that good, and their everyday customer reviews keep coming out positive, then those should and will speak for themselves.

[@Str4vv]

What are the quality issues, that seem to persist up until now? Genuinely interested.

[@roguishpaladin]

That's a very strong allegation. If you have evidence of this, I encourage you to contact Skall and present your evidence. Perhaps someone who buys this model can provide their experience as well. Conversely, though, unsubstantiated allegations of this nature border upon slander, so you open yourself up for a lawsuit if you're just making trouble.

[@mattmanbrownbro]

@@Str4vv when I got a Wolfsbane back around 2015 or 2016, I sent it back due to a warp in the blade. I also have a video up where I took screen shots of DSA swords either breaking in use, or images of tangs that were dangerously skinny, and absolutely coated with epoxy.

There were also several people that spoke up after having to send their swords back 4 times or more due to a severe lack of quality control, some of which can be found on my DSA videos.

[@datalt7873]

[@matthewett4273]

I've got two Darksword pieces myself. One I got directly from them ( The Danish Two handed ) and the other I got from KoA ( Gothic Two handed ) The Danish one, I ordered sharpened and it came with a really uneven grind, couldn't cut a milk jug full of water, and I think the resulting impact from that might have rattled the tang a bit. I've since put a better edge on it, but I can feel and hear something clicking inside the hilt. Don't know if a strip of wood came loose from impact or if the tang snapped inbetween two rivet points. Sword still seems to work though. Another thing is the finish grind on the blade is a bit uneven, you can see raised and low spots all throughout. Definitely doesn't help with cutting. The Gothic sword, on the other hand, is really damn immaculate, and KoA put an excellent edge on it. If you look that one up on KoA's website, I left a nice review on it there under the name Matt H. I'd say the only addendum to my prior review I put on there, would be that once you get used to it, the sword actually becomes pretty damn responsive. It's got that thicc diamond cross sections that can weave and cleave. And it's hilt is excellent too, as it takes on the shape of the cross section, lets you index that edge and feel where it's going super easily.

[@matthewett4273]

EDIT: Actually make that three, forgot I even had one of the Daggers as well. I also have their Knight ( Knightly? ) dagger. Got it from KoA with the sharpening service. All I can say about that one is that it definitely does the job, and that the scabbard needs to be way tighter. You gotta belt that one on really good because the dagger is so hilt balanced(?) that it WILL flip itself upside down and jump right out of that scabbard. It managed to cut my hand a little bit, I went to grab for it but also remembered safety 101 and recoiled my hand back and just let it fall, was too late though, it bit me. Still an excellent dagger though, just belt it tight, or even better, get rid of the straps and slip it into a frog. So with that in mind, I think it's best if you're gonna buy a Darksword brand sword, you might want to do it through Kult of Athena, as they have a much better quality control. I'm curious how much Dark Sword Armoury stuff they reject every month, might be worth asking them.

The comparatively large pommels we see on swords out of early Scandinavian history, certainly do leave one with the impression that the extreme handshake grip was typically used. I wonder, even, if the entire point of those broad pommels (as opposed to a smaller pommel) was to solidly register against the inner wrist, while the sword is being swung almost pendulous.

[@barretharms1432]

Homeway price their blades quite well so okay for myself the recutting in the casting well yeah I can do that myself but foremost I I agree a little bit more work with the cleaning of the casting would be in order on the other hand they do better bronze casting than I do I end up with holes in my work and have to weld them back with my tig

[@nicktrueman224]

What I dislike about the view of swords of this period is that they are norse. In fact much of the typologies are being used throughout Europe and some have localised hilts eg the Anglo Saxon droop guards which curve from the handle. These swords turn up in many countries except I am unsure about Mediterranean and definitely Byzantine art shows differing hilts all together

Sword-hilts not fitting with the typologies are mentioned by Petersen in his "De Norske Vikingesverd".

If anyone is wondering about which sword it is on darksword armory it is the urnes stave

[@VelikiHejter]

People have problems understanding that some common concepts of today have been completely alien to people just 150 years ago. Like exchangeable parts. There were no two identical weapons until exchangeable parts became possible by industrialization and standardization of manufacturing processes. For example, on a class in a barracks where I served we were talking about arms logistics and one of the soldier asked the question why every single part on some old, obsoleted guns were marked with serial numbers or parts of serial number. Instructor, of course, replayed that is was the way it was done back in the day. Stupid answer for stupid people, but question made me think so I grabbed couple of those rifles and mixed the parts. They still work, although not perfectly. So, I did the same with older patern of guns, some pre-WW1 Steyr guns and bolt wouldn't even close. Those rifles might have looked identical, but even that close in our history there was no manufacturing capability to perfectly replicate parts. And somebody really believes that all the swords in 10th - 11th century were the same...

[@ChargerusPrime]

My desire is to obtain one of these swords and to put it to actual use as a chopper when I'm out hunting as well as a defensive weapon. It'd last longer than most all other machetes and things of the like out there. I will say, there's no substitute for a good ax though which I'd also be carrying in tandem once I find a suitable one that doesn't have a stainless steel blade of some sort. Ain't worth the dirt in a farm pasture in my opinion.

[@JETWTF]

The thing about Viking sword topology is high quality swords were passed down, you can find older style blades with newer hilts even generations differences or even vice versa. That's makes classifying them by era more difficult than other types of swords. Then you have all the different smiths/artisans making them, they are not churned out of a factory, each smith/artisan has their own style that all swords before manufacturing had. Add in customers desires... Topology is just basic categorization rather than definitive, a better topology system would be each one is a morph target in a 3D program so you can get an idea on the shapes between the topology classed ones. The peen on that isn't accurate. They peened it to the pommel cap and not the guard, the cap is a decorative/balance cover that hides the peen.
