I like how patient you were with straightening the blade. I’ve seen you do a lot of blades. Your a great forger and metalist. Keep up the great work and the vids.

[@gpgpgpgp1000]

I think this is the first video I have seen where I can watch the entire sword and scabbard being made start to finish from scratch. Seeing what it takes to make something as "simple" as a chape or throat for the scabbard, for example, was really educational. I definitely plan on watching many of your other videos! Lovely sword and scabbard, by the way!

Wooow wat ben ik onder de indruk van uw vakmanschap. Ik ben ontzettend geïnteresseerd in wat je creëert. Petje af👏👌👍👍

[@Varentill]

This sword, and especially the scabbard, make me cringe. Due to how he shaped the blade using the dies on the press, the blade has no distal taper, so it is heavier than it needs to be in the blade. He has several, fairly large & thick collars on the hilt, which, while helping to counterbalance the heavy blade, also serve to make the whole sword heavier. The scabbard, however, is what really hurts. The blade cavity is not shaped to fit the blade tightly, so the sword will rattle like no one's business. The horns on the bull's head decoration are absolutely a hazard, not only to the wearer themselves, but also to anyone or anything the wearer moves past. Finally, and most disturbingly, the opening on the metal throat piece, especially since there is a cavity between the metal piece & the actual throat of the scabbard, is going to scratch that blade to hell, and dull the edge, every time it is drawn or sheathed. There is a lot of skill & technical know-how on display here, but absolutely no common sense.

[@tuckerabbott]

You have no clue do you? You get a distal taper from doing a full flat grind

[@Varentill]

@@tuckerabbott You seem to be laboring under a misconception of what the term "Distal Taper" means. It is not the difference in thickness from the spine to the edge, as your statement seems to suggest you think it to be. What it actually is, is the difference in thickness from he base of the blade to the tip. Because of the dies he used, the blade is the same thickness all the way down it's length, meaning it does not have a distal taper.

i love! your no-nonsense approach to making the blade. modern tooling, no useless folding of the steel, not grinding the fuller in, but just creating it with a nice powerhammer/press-tool. very awesome. i love when swords are made like tools and the process isn't as much artsy as it is driven by logic and function. and the sword still looks great! (although with the damascus pattern i'm not sure wether you just bought the steel that way or if you did some folding by yourself.....hard to say for someone with as little knowledge of the matter as me) nice craftsmanship, nice sword, nice video.

This is an amazing piece altogether. I do have some doubts about the belt lug. I’m not sure how it’s going to support the weight of the sword for a long period of time. Regardless, historically scabbards did not have a belt lug. Your sword belt would have ends that wrapped around the scabbard and braided together to encompass it like a Chinese finger trap.
