How to Make a Sword (Preview)

In an upcoming video I will show you how to create a sword from scratch. Take your scrap steel and make something useful. We will go over the basics of forging, filing, heat treatment and polishing. We'll also touch on the fabrication of metal and wooden fittings to complete your sword.

@Antiks72 Cleaver falchion you mean.. which were incredibly rare. Since this dude would like to think that he is a chinky, these are probably supposed to be butterfly swords.

[Antiks72]

Looks like a falchion.

@XenuThePowerful Yeah, but they're mass produced garbage. Not hand folded or forged. A smith isn't going to sell you a weapon that takes 60+ hours to make, not including heat treating and making the hilt, guard, sharpening, polishing for so cheap.
