If I were a director and needed swords for a movie, I'd definitely go to this guy ... Makes mindblowing and exceptionally extraordinary masterpieces ... Way to go ...

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

They don't use real steel swords in the movies, they use aluminum, because aluminum on aluminum clangs a lot louder than steel on steel, and they are way cheaper.

[@marceloshangful]

Amazing job... Nobody wants to show the real secrets of blade smith's, but you give us a show with technic and work hard. Nice Sword, congratulations!

Came here expecting to see someone casting a bronze sword and calling it forging, was pleasantly surprised. This is awesome.

[@charlesbonds5432]

With mass manufacturing happening, craftsmanship is becoming a lost art form and it's a damn shame.

[@DarthLobitou]

The amazing thing is how entrancing not just the forging of the sword is, but also the making of the scabbard. Usually, this sort of video just focuses on the blade. Amazing work, been missing out on this channel, but quickly catching up with your videos.

[@peterott8053]

bronze age swords were made out of bronze, so they were even golden. think about that. that might be a supermodel in a golden ferrari! a bit too much bling for us modern folks...

[@appleyanimator6541]

They didn't forge bronze swords - it's not got the same properties of steel, so forging would be a pain in the ass, so instead they cast the bronze. This works as cast bronze has better properties than if it were forged, however, steel is the opposite - you want to forge steel rather than cast it.

[@nigela5362]

@@appleyanimator6541 you can forge copper or bronze and then by grinding it and sharpening it gets more ridget ;)

[@AcidAdventurer]

@@Alizudo iron and low carbon steel aren't really better than work hardened bronze from a hardness standpoint. Only good steel is. The iron age came about because of the abundance of iron and the scarcity of tin

Literally the only issue I have with this video is that the metal coverings for the scabbard aren't a flush fit, and the ring on the scabbard's tip is completely unnecessary

Hello Freerk! First of all, I want to say that your works are amazing!! but this I really think is your masterpiece (till now). I would like to ask you a couple of questions if you feel to answer it... Your swords are just for exposition or if they could be actually use it ( like.. they are sharpened?, balanced?,proportionally heavy?) I'm not asking you if you're a master of swords ... but if you think about these factors, when you conceive them. And last question.. What you doing with them when you have done? Do you collect them? Sell them? And if you should give a price to this piece, counting materials, time and your fantastic work... How much it will be??..... Thank you for your video and for the answers if you'll find the time to do it..

[@apexmoto9610]

Simply amazing work! Just a note, while the xiphos dates back as far as the Bronze Age, it continued to be employed well into the Iron Age alongside swords like the kopis. Therefore it's probably more suitable for your title to state Iron Age Sword rather than Bronze Age, considering the fact that bronze swords were cast whereas iron/steel swords were forged, like your incredible example.
