Forging an epic fantasy sword, the complete movie.

Forging an epic fantasy sword, the complete movie.
The sword is made of pattern welded steel is has 432 layers, 1.2767 - 45NiCrMo16 and 1.2842 -90MnCrV8 steel. These two steels give a very good contrast but can be a bit tricky to harden as one of them is a air hardening steel. The result is a very strong and hard-hitting blade, the sword will be Raven themed, the final blade length will be around 1 meter, 5 cm at base.
The black crow cross-guard is made from leaf spring, brazed with bronze lines.
This sword is made in commission, and is a unique piece the winged guard is a special request from the customer, for questions about commissions and or prices mail me at [e-mail]
The handle is build up from different parts, 2 bolsters and 2 wood handle pieces. The upper handle piece is wire wrapped, I use thick wire for this, as I like the rugged less mechanical look of it in comparison with thin silver wire.
The bottom one is leather wrapped.
The sculptured pommel is made out of two pieces of steel. Welded together in the center. The eyes in the raven heads are cast bronze. The complete sword is about 126 cm in length, the blade length is around 100 cm.
The sword stand is made from forged mild steel. The base is oak, burned black to fit the style of the sword and total dark ages fantasy theme.

I wish I knew someone like you that I could just hang around while they made such masterpieces and learn/give you a hand with small things. Like an apprentice.

[@MildlyFanatical]

Violent Decay except apprentices are too busy doing their own work and study to be hanging round staring at their employer making swords :P

[@drakesteele821]

This video is absolutely astounding in the amount of detail and techniques and further full service such as the creation of the stand display. This not only deserves 10x views, but NEEDS to be viewed so people grasp what kind of craftsmanship is still out there. What did work like this cost? How many total hours/days went into it all?

[@magicoefama70]

Muito Fera 👏

[@acrufanbuuuy016themcpegame9]

I don't know why people dislike this

[@thomaschristopherwhite9043]

There are people who think the color of their skin makes them better than everyone else and there are some who believe the Earth is flat. If there are those kinds of people in this world, there are bound to be a few idiots who will dislike this video.

[@kieranthornton953]

Your work is exceptional keep it up

Parabéns seus vídeo todos são top sou brasileiro e adoro vê. Seus vídeo. Você. E Americano?

[@JETWTF]

I bet that's a beast of a cutter... not much on thrusts via the blade geometry but a fantastic cutter. I prefer cut and thrust longswords or more preferred hand and a half swords that's cut and thrust with a little more cut than thrust. Wish I could commission a blade but sadly me is poor, atleast I can enjoy seeing your works of art and their making and it brings me great joy.

[@classicgamer4475]

Очень круто получилась! Так держать! Обожаю мечи и холодное оружие. А вы делаете боевые образцы или бутафорию для коллекционеров???

[@eliejaiemiemariemagallanes890]

Hey? 😁 I just new here in your channel, and all I can say is that you have a great talent in making swords. I wonder if you could create a dragon sword perhaps? Cause I like your work and just wondering if it may be possible 😊 Thanks anyways in sharing your wonderful talent😇

[@enderbaran]

Very congratulations..

[@vagabond-yj8pn]

What type of herbs & spices do you use on the metal?

[@ALEX-xd7ko]

So why cold cut sections then cold weld them back together and forge ? Ive seen many do it for Damascus but ive also seen many just hot cut and fold then forge . Whats the difference ? And if there is a difference whats better and why

[@knormskib6670]

Sweet Dude! Keep it up! K

[@RovingPunster]

Very handsome blade, and damascus pattern. Love the pommel too ... Hugin and Mugin ? Well done. What is the weight on the finished blade and where is the balance point ?
