Forging Military SCYTHE out of Rusted Iron Chain

Today I'm going to forge Scythe a pole weapon used by military. Couple of years back i forged a scythe with a different design, you guys loved it, so i decided to make another one with a new design so here it is.
This time I used rusted iron chain Link to forge it. I believe iron of chain is quite good to forge something big and strong. I hope you'll enjoy it and share it with everyone and let me know your favorite weapons from history in the comment section. If you enjoyed video give it thumbs up and Subscribe @OLDSMITH to never miss any update.

You do know that you put the sharp end on the blade on the wrong side, right?

[@princebutterofknob19]

I love the blade bud but that theres a khopesh. Not a scythe. Again i say gorgeous work but it is a tad mislabeled there friendo.

[@reneteater2586]

you are too good to be forgeing at home

[@jj68]

Hypnotic watching an old chain link become a thing of beauty. Great work.

[@OLDSMITH]

Glad you enjoy it!

At this point he has a whole arsenal

[@EllyAnim1954]

frrrr,if someone tries robbing him,dude can just pick up a scythe or trident and make the dumbass that tried run in fear- seriously,a guy with enough free time to turn a wrench & rusted chain into SCYTHES is not a kinda guy you should want problems with-

[@joey5598]

I just wish that in another life I've studied ironworks just to make things like those

[@akuiori]

Dont wish, get started in this life...thats what im trying to do, why shouldnt you try something that interests you?

[@GrinningJest3r]

Never too late to start!

[@pryamul]

So, just as a point of order, it would be a poleaxe. A scythe would have the blade on the interior of the curve, not the outside. No matter what, it is a beautiful fantasy piece.

[@dougadams9419]

It's the shape of a scythe, but it's not really one. The inner curve is suppose to sharpened, not the outer curve. You just made a medieval battle weapon.

[@OLDSMITH]

Yeah, I agree with you. Scythe's inner curve should be sharpen but I'm not going to cut crops and I made a weapon so I sharp it's outer curve to make it practical weapon. Hope you understand. Thanks for commenting :)

I like how this would be a good basis for a decorative Egyptian Khopesh

For each like 10 pullups

[@Nphynite]

80 pullups lil bro

[@sebastiaoferreiraramos1053]

This weapon would be much more imposing if it had a blade on both sides, it would be something much more unusual

[@generalgabrielsatori]

I mean that was the intention of turning a farm scythe blade 90 degree up in the first place, a double edged glaive.

[@sebastiaoferreiraramos1053]

@@generalgabrielsatori That would be something very interesting and fun

[@derrickguffey4775]

​@@generalgabrielsatori a farm scythe was not double edged though. I've owned and seen many and even in medieval Europe it was the same only the concave side was sharpened. To have it double edged as a work tool would have posed a risk to the person using it . And if you see the old war scythe it is indeed single edged.

[@ReallyRA1N]

That would just be a enlarged sickle then

[@jessicamitchell6517]

That does exist

[@The-Dark-Cosmic-Prince]

Scythe one of my fav close combat weapons. I still need to make my black hole scythe

[@wojt_games2239]

Great and fastastic work, congratulations! I would like to see next time two sickles like Maltael from Diablo 3 had.

[@aidenwallin3523]

I feel like this is more of an axe. Don't get me wrong, it's a very cool weapon and the process to make one is incredible. I just think that with the bladed edge being on the outside of the curve, this would be used more like an axe. A scythe cuts on the inside of the curve to pull grass(or a person in the case of a war scythe) towards the cutting edge, like a sickle. With this, you have to cut with the outside of the curve, making it more similar to an axe blade for chopping, not hooking.

[@pryamul]

Scythe is 2h, sickle is 1h.

[@aidenwallin3523]

​@@pryamulWhat does that mean?

[@pryamul]

@@aidenwallin3523 I was just saying a scythe is a 2 handed implement and a sickle is 1 handed.

[@aidenwallin3523]

@@pryamulThat makes sense. I was just referring to the blade.

[@Anthoman001]

That musta taken quite some time! [smile] Nice dedication, nice work.

[@Rock-fo2zt]

a masterpiece and a work of art

[@infinityaffinity945]

i know this is meant to be a scythe.. but i cannot unsee the Cooper Family Cane when i look at it, still a beautifully crafted piece all the same

[@DariusHosein]

I can see it a bit. Definitely something Sly would use

[@Roy19841123]

It’s like a khopesh and a spear combined 😮 Indeed it is very artistic and amazing work! Still can’t believe that it was a rusty chain before 😮

[@joshburts1044]

Almost like a Halbert/Kopesh. Wonderful

[@Antylics]

its so satisfying watching something so beautiful be forged

[@oneshotme]

Great looking Scythe and you did a wonderful job making it as well!!!! I enjoyed your video so I gave it a Thumbs Up

[@Sua_chua_mam_tom_]

It's surprising that you forged a beautiful military scythe and it's usable, great job!!!😍😍😍😍

[@XHero1330]

The hard 90 degrees on where the blade goes to tang feels like it'd end up a point of failure from stress buildup

[@morgotha42]

I wish I had the money to buy this!!! Its so awesome! Amazing work and design ❤‍🔥

[@ihatefurries-mp6tm]

really scythe yeah sure think what you want but that in fact would classify as a polearm axe

[@bleach50000]

Do you happen to sell the weapons u make? I must say the weapons you make are very unique

[@yohannedavebanayo2805]

Finally a historycally accurate scythe

[@judahschultz]

It strikes me as a Kopesh, an ancient Egyptian weapon, mounted on a pole arm.

[@GipsyD2945]

It's a scythe but you bent the blade so that it's aligned with the handle and sharpened the outer edge

[@johnkaufmann4711]

Put blade on both ends . With a full tang . I do like the looks of it .

[@SlowSohn]

I think I would've tried to make it a two bladed scythe to be able to cut from both sides. Don't know if it would work since I'm no blacksmith, but I would've tried :)

[@samuelsiedschlag4486]

Sweet!

[@johnleerolandbayer850]

[@pieter6615]

Can you forge a rapier from Damascus steel? Not many people forge and show how they do it, and I would really like to see how you do it.

[@TWe-yu7uy]

@OLDSMITH can you make a halberd next?

[@ace_drar]

I've just seen the thumbnail but that reminds me to death's sickles in the puss in boots movie

[@0ia]

At 14:46, was that metal spike to re-inforce the blade/crossguard's attachment to the handle in addition to what appeared to be glue? Awesome video. Very fun watch.

[@GrinningJest3r]

Yes, the epoxy alone isn't enough to hold the blade in place to the handle. Adding a mechanical component prevents the blade from wiggling in any air pockets within the epoxy which could, over a long enough period of use, cause the epoxy to loosen its hold for the metal and the wood.

[@0ia]

@@GrinningJest3r Thank you very much for the explanation

[@papakaicovers3710]

technically, it looks like a differently shaped axe but it looks good

[@ssscreates]

any chance that you can make either Rebellion, Yamato or Force Edge from the game Devil May Cry series??

I simply wish you put the blade on the other side, woulda looked cooler in my opinion

[@nohomegamers2553]

Nice video bro

[@samanthaharger7931]

this man is getting retee for a z apclis

[@swakage13x]

Blade edge is on the wrong side of the curve like the shape is close to appropriate for a war scythe or fantasy sickle on a pole handle I mean it still looks good but don't call it what it isn't Also it would have been smarter to forge the pointed Long blade section instead of just cutting it out sure it might have taken longer but could have done it and then once you got it closer to the desired shape and size then you could have cut it out or attacked it with the grinder and the belt sander Also the shape of the blade is more like a kopesh from Egypt

[@ambermiles7351]

“Kopesh” for those wondering the real blade name. Still pretty badass
