Frist off I want to say I love the video's and you have your self a new subscriber can you let me know what it will cost to own one of your functional and beautiful works of art :)(:
I too make swords and muskets (as a hobby). But this guys knowledge and skill is awe inspiring.
Great work and also thank you for giving us a glimpse of how you work. Far too many skilled people are reluctant to share their knowledge let alone put a very nicely put together video of of it on the internet.
This has been a joke since the beginning. This is why : "The making of a replica Nordic-type sword using traditional swordsmithing methods" What in the blue hell was traditional in picking metal scraps, using a drill to make holes, using papersand and machines ? LAstly, the sword they made was a hell better than the historical one, which was not the point, they could probably make ten swords like that a day and wouldn't waste time on decorating things that are by essence practical.
""What... was traditional in picking metal scraps""
Recycling old metals this way has been used as early as 500BC! In Early Middle Ages it was the norm, since iron was expensive.
""using a drill to make holes""
Medieval drills were powered by the arm, modern ones by electricity. The result is pretty much the same. From 13th century upwards water powered hammers and grind stones were widely used, if you replace water powering by electricity, what difference does it make in the end?
@Protherium The metal scraps we can find nowdays are often made of relatively good steel compared to what has been made as you said, in the early 500 bc. You therefore start with a better material.
The problem with this kind of drills is not only that they are powered by electricity, but also that the tools, that allows precision are much more precise than what existed before, it might mean a less blended metal, in general greater quality of the work is reached with our instrument.
@Protherium The methods if they are the evolution of what existed before, are not the "traditional swordsmithing methods". The replica is supposed to be equivalent to what was created at that time but the decoration and the time spent on the sword, and what i've noted earlier are an error regarding their own goal.
Awesome...this type of blade would be my ultimate make..except the blade would be composite..great skills from the craftsman!! my blades are much simpler!!!
@ArtistBlade1972 I know..all that twisting ,,ha ha,,so far I have done 13 layer O1 clad/ spring steel core forged ,,cut into 3...restacked etc and done twice more,,hard ,,hard work with just a sledgehammer,,but as I say it would be my ultimate make...I'm nowhere near your giddy heights of ability !!!
@bassfuryvi You can do it man. You have good skills, and your knives seem to perform well. Don't be afraid to stray away from the norm. Trying new things really keeps you interested and makes for good learning.
@Zapper1993 - I agree 100% with your post. The sheer craftsmanship and skills shown in the video was an awe-inspiring wake-up call - it makes me very happy to know that all is not lost. With my Norse ancetsry, I'd love to have such a blade to call my own.
These guys are amazing .

@bassfuryvi You should try a composite seax or something first. Still a lot of work without a power hammer.
