sword making 2

[Breathor]

why... would you make many, 1 minute videos.... this is so annoying



[mouthforwar17]

u cant grind the fuller out of the blade like that. u have to hammer it in to create a structurally sound blade

[Jrowys]

What´s the fluid where he submerged teh sword? 0:30

[2headskydragon]

@Jrowys, judging by the flexibility demonstrated in the video, i would say that was an oil quenchant.

[usmcmajormichael]

 in 1:07 the tang looks like a rat tail tang

[MonoxideChild1219]

Did you pound out that blood groove, or was it done by the bench grinder?

[EreboR4n]

i want a sword of this man!

[wolfdragga]

0:47 Id say that passes the British proof test.

[neoJ666]

[neoJ666]

[Kragoff]

[12gravediggers]

telm chloct mein brien?

[dom1940]

No gloves? A brave man.

[Ranziel1]

Why is the blade quenched horizontially? I though vertical quencing was a mandatory for making tips the hardest part of the blade.

[gregarioushand]

nice! im guessing thats an oil quench. were you using EN45?

[acerking76]

its not my smithywork, its from Jan Jankai. :)

[Jrowys]

@acerking76 Does he have webpages?

[shinkengatsxa]

seriously it doesnt matter what type of sword you're making because its all in the skill of the smith/ weilder of the weapon.

aside from that smithing has got to be the manliest profession ever. :D

[Eladriell]

@shinkengatsxa

Thats a fuller, adds strength to the blade as well as making it lighter. Nothing to do with blood.

[shinkengatsxa]

@Eladriell actually it has a lot to do with blood. when you stab the fuck out of someone with a large sword it creates a vacuum and can be difficult to remove. a "blood groove" create a place for air to rush in so the blade can be removed quickly. not a big deal if you were to only kill one person but if you are on a battle field you need to not have your weapon stuck in a corpse.

[Eladriell]

@shinkengatsxa Nope. absolutely no evidence i can find of any stories of un-fullered blades getting "vacuum-sucked" into bodies and being difficult to remove. Whereas theres considerable evidence from metalworkers throughout the ages, smiths and warriors of various calibres as to the tensile and weight benefits. One would wonder why so many fullers only went from the hilt to halfway up the blade? not the portion normally inserted in an enemy

unless he's really unlucky.

no hay artesania...........solo maquinas

[acerking76]

maybee you should just go back to your flimsy japanese swords and your little jet engines instead of complaining about the clips being short in spanish, because thats all you're doing, you're not even a smith yourself so stop commenting on something you know nothing about, and oh didnt your mother tell you its rude to speak in languages other people cant understand? next time you post a reply, i suggest you do it in english so everyone can read it.

[will0ughby]

not to be rude but i can speak it....

[cyberslick18]

@acerking76 Small minded xenophobia, I wouldn't expect any less from a smithy.

[Ginyru]

@acerking76 Get a life...
