Making a Doctoral Sword and Scabbard

[@JarheadsBadBrain]

You had me at "... if it ever came up against a Finnish doctor it would easily defeat them and their stainless poser blade"

[@Zack16611]

I thought it was funny that someone felt the need to warn a literal dentist to “be careful” with a sharp piece of metal. Quite literally their entire job is dealing with sharp metal INSIDE someone’s mouth 😂

“A doctoral sword” Since when does one need an excuse to gift a loved one a SWORD!?

[@Zack16611]

You look like a mix of 90s Michael Keaton and 90s Tim Curry! (In a good way) Awesome sword! Great video!

[@ianroberts5683]

@5:45 "if you stop calling it a small sword and start calling it a spadroon the weight is fine then".

[@gavinrn]

Unbelievable! It is absolutely stunning.

[@notfeedynotlazy]

My master at blacksmithing, a master swordsmith, used to heat pommel tangs for peening through friction by using an old sanding disk (one so worn it no longer sanded, or a not-so-old one put _backwards)_ on an angle grinder. Worked like a charm. JUST the tang got cherry red in seconds with no undue heat to any other part of the pommel. Just in case you need again to deal with a similar situation.

[@vinniecharity]

Amazing work!!! I’m going to have to watch it again because of the craftsmanship…

[@ernestolynch1926]

I guess in Finland they still give the "doctor's" sword to those who defend their doctoral dissertation (PhD)... or at least they used to do so at the end of the 20th century... Great job! I'd love one! :)

[@edwinmanzano1597]

Wow!!! I wish they had that custom here. I could get behind that, even if the sword was not handmade, but commercially available. Can you imagine at graduation a procession of professors in cap, gown and sword?

[@MrRolingstone]

You do amazing work and have a very pleasant vibe to your video!!!

[@fedeneder8622]

My great grandpa was a sheriff in Argentina back in the 40's/50's. We still have his gun and his ceremonial sword and this one looks just like it! Great job

[@Dan-wr8es]

glad you're back, I watched some of your content on making roman gear the other day and was saddened to see someone like you stopped uploading!

Didn't mean to be gone a year, I should finish things more often

What an epic project!

I literally just saw your post about this on Reddit like 14 hours ago and now I find you randomly on KZbin.

[@py2rpjrubens450]

That's a class! Thank's for sharing!!!

[@MegaDevilmaycare]

I love your videos, and I hope you make more soon. But deaden that anvil.

[@theredcelt627]

I definitely recommend getting some thick mil nitrile gloves for sanding. It keeps all those particles off your skin. They’re pretty cheap at Harbor Freight or Menards.

[@311Bob]

congratulations to your sister, and nice pointy thing.

[@Josh_Green44]

Regarding the guard bent the wrong direction....at least you didn't leave it that way, and call it a "fantasy" hilt 😄 Gawd I hate when they do that.

[@pinarppanrapir9489]

If someone gifted me a sword they'd be my friend for life. Great craftsmanship and I feel you when you said you need deadlines to finish your projects. Put yourself through higher standards, maybe that would motivate you. Subscribed.

[@pablobarros610]

Your work is truly admirable, keep it up. Congratulations directly from Minas Gerias - Brazil!

[@Josh_Green44]

Nice to see you using Holly wood for the handle. I have a large length of Holly that I've been seasoning for about 5 years now.

[@calvinmondrago7397]

Amazing work!

[@emrisrex]

Beautiful work 🙏

[@marton_dobo]

You used more skill and creativity than fancy machines and the result is amazing! It's not too deatiled but its proportions are on point, so it looks like a real historical replica.

[@schafer6811]

I got my Ph.D. forty years ago. Nobody ever told me about a sword.

[@boriscalderon1678]

Me either. I feel cheated

[@schafer6811]

@@boriscalderon1678 I demand a Congressional investigation! I want my sword.

[@scififan698]

at the start of the video: that must have been the most inexperienced hammering I have seen in a long time. You must be a patient man, let them mistreat your anvil for so long... you must like your sister very much ;-)

[@cornchip45]

Great video as always!

[@MegaDevilmaycare]

Aspects of your setup are so janky they gave me eye cancer, and you still made a nicer blade than many bladesmiths I know with decades of experience

This made me rembered the movie "Doctor Zhivago".

[@EngineersWorkshop]

Wow!

[@wyz2537]

well of course you make her a sword doesnt everyone usually?

"Holly crap" is exactly the right "Doctoral" response and vocabular. How deep of a student debt had this extinguished title put you in? Anyways, worth every penny.

[@derskalde4973]

Wait, you said some of the Material contained lead? I hope you marked the tools you used on those parts, because you shouldn't use them on anything else anymore. When I trained to become a goldsmith, at one point we got the chance to work with Niello, a technique of surface ornamentation. Niello (name for both the technique and the used mateial) contains high amounts of lead, and the teacher gave us tools to use, that were only to be used on this workpiece, and told us to not use our own tools for this, because you will not be able to get the lead off of the tools, and every piece you use these tools on will be contaminated to a degree with this lead. This was bad mostly due to lead having the habit to "eat" into other materials when heated, creating pockmarks in the surface.

[@THEFACILITY]

The pommel has 2-5% lead. Contamination just from tools is really only a concern with precious metals and things that will touch food, none of the tools I used on it will have that problem

[@derskalde4973]
