Hand Forged Medieval Swords by Darksword Armory

[navajo2911]

for some reason, during the intro song, it reminds of the elder scrolls game

What's the song

[LotusDragon09]

Id love to see a zweihander made by these guys. Ive heard great things about their swords. I was thinking of buying Cold Steel's zweihander (two handed great sword), but I think its smaller than its historical counterpart and I know Cold Steel doesnt use historical fittings on most of their swords. So yeah, id love to see a historically accurate German style zweihander made by Darksword. I might even put it on my "swords I want" list :). I hope it wouldnt be too expensive.

[Merlijn777]

I have a question.. how long does it take to make a sword like The Black Knight Sword? Really impressive forging :) Keep up the good work!

[Battletest]

@Merlijn777

If it's one we've already made in the past, such as the Black Knight, it takes 8 hours. The process is much longer for custom pieces and for the "master" (ie, first sword of a given model)

[LevMeln]

Their swords saved my life!!!

[Meixafuhellzman2]

Ahhhh, its good to be Canadian, keep being awesome Darksword armory!

[Novantii]

i would love to work at a place like this, pounding hot steel all night while its cold and snowy outside.  i was disappointed when i found out ablion just uses CNC machines.

[RockingOrange11]

this are swords with a soul

[SmileyLieutenantDan]

How do you get that curved inlet line going down the middle?

[jediknight2694]

I have the two-handed gothic and it's a good beater/pell sword. It vibrates alot so it doesn't cut "harder" targets like phonebooks very well. But it whacks water bottles very well

[MrAlpachino123]

how do you make the groove down the centre of the blades??? I'm sure it has a more technical name too

[Rimpianto]

@MrAlpachino123 - Fuller ;)

[Zacarriss41]

Love the sound of metal when hammered!

[Taisma24]

I really want the SPARTA!!!!

[firelord3377]

respect my friend!!!

the videos with the cutting tests of ur blade, shows me that u have a lot of wisdom about blade forging. ure swords are beatyfull peaces of cold iron!

keep on forging for this tradition!

100 of 100 points from germany!

The Wallace sword will be back in production during our next line. It should be available around January 2010.

@SgtSamProductions FREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEDOOOOM!

[Migueria]

I want a sparta sword.

[dutchblacksmithr]

you are a true master of sword making!

[acerb45666555]

have you used the Damascus process?

[ZeroAre]

what song is this?

[AngryVikingDipper]

Its from braveheart.

[Izual16]

sick !!!

[DreadXK7]

Darksword Armory's weapons are scarily impressive. I've seen their Destructive Testing; these buggers are practically unbreakable.

[joemama114]

@DreadXK7 Well just a newbie guess but it's not like this dude's making "replica swords" but just making swords. Not to look good but that they "DO" look good as a byproduct of their completion. I mean you could probably make some fancy decorative replica out of aluminum or something and have it look the part but that's not going to cut it.... (sorry for that... cut and swords, I can't help myself)

[shittyfuck]

what is the song ?

[AR15fan]

It sounds like the love theme from Braveheart.

[gtarbmx]

i have a dsa norman sword. it's so badass!!!

[TheBlacksmith58]

Great video....DSA swords seem to have a good reputation for quality swords at price that's hard to beat. I have read several posts that Eyal has made over at SBG Sword Forum and he seems like a decent guy. Much better to buy a sword made in Canada than something from the Philippines, China or India like just about everything else in that price range!

[lordofgonzo]

I thought I recognized that. Thanks, and again, awesome video.

[Battletest]

Hi Lordofgonzo,

The music is composed by James Horner.

[lordofgonzo]

Fantastic video. Just out of curiosity, what is the song title in the video?

[MasiukA]

i say darksword armoury is the best sword maker, price wise and performance wise.. albion is probably the best, but you can get a darksword for a quarter of the price and it is almost as good.

i am really impressed with darksword, and happy they are canadians just like me.

[paragate]

@MasiukA Happy that they are humans just like me. To identify yourself with nationalities is just another form of glorified tribalism.

[NJKTesla]

@paragate wow well said . rare to read a comment of such geniune insight .

"trure words are never eloquent , eloquent words are never true"

your's are both .

[Danie9989]

@MasiukA makes me proud to because i have lived here all my life!

i am dying to get the Ranger sword because i'm into lord of the rings but my parents wont let me! a day will come...!

[TempleOfSin]

Hold the phone, there's no stock-removal work involved here?

[Battletest]

Hi Templeofsin,

No, we don't do any stock removal. Stock removal doesn't require any forging at all. It only involves using grinders or C&C machines to "cut" out the blade.

[foxstar612]

holy $#!+ i told those guys a. blacksmithing is not dead b. its totaly epic not nerdy

[JamesThWilliams]

@foxstar612

At the very least horses will always need shoes.

[MikeyGee001]

FANTASTIC GUYS .. Eyal in particular.

Did a good bit of back and forth over email with him.

The Darksword Armoury folks are very down to earth and just out and out nice guys. I look forward to the next production .. ;-)

Sooooo glad I live in Ottawa, Canada .. less than an hour from DSA.

Cheers

[bjseder]

Would love to be able to make my own sword. Best I could probably do is buy lots of machinery to make the sword I have been designing for years.

[jasonwoodard]

Wow!!! What a great forging video.. Great editing and music.. Makes me want to take my swords outside and do so cutting. Very cool..
