The Birth of a Sword Part 3

Product Description
"Take a journey through the fascinating process of creating a sword"

FILM SYNOPSIS

In this 40-minute video from the "Steel-edged Weapons" series you will be invited by master swordsmith Richard Kazda to his forge and guided through the half-forgotten world of swordsmithing.

In the film you will witness:

- The making of a replica Nordic-type sword using traditional swordsmithing methods, from selecting the material to the final assembly of the sword.
- Forging the individual elements of the sword, surface finishing, hardening the blade and strength tests, making the grip, decorating the guard and pommel, assembly of the sword, making the scabbard and performing cutting tests.
- Many detailed views, including decorating the sword with silver-copper and brass inlays.
- Clear animations explaining the production processes and the sword's construction.

The film was made with the aim of explaining the essentials of making a replica of a sword both to the uninitiated public and those more experienced in this field. Collectors, fencers, members of historical re-enactment associations, hobbyists and those who seriously consider making their own or buying their first sword will find here a wealth of information and previously unpublished swordsmithing procedures.

The film was shot live following the making of one specific weapon from its beginning to its completion. There is no acting involved, the footage shows only authentic production in a real forge.

He used soda to make sure theres no oxygen implemented, the oxygen would make the sword weak and it would crack with ease.

The wire brush is to get rid of the outer cold and crisp metal.

So when does the fat guy get to cut through some dead pigs?

[dogbone222]

coupla question. at the beginning what did he sprinkle on to the metal before resticking it in the forge and why. Also why do we use wire brushes on the hot metal

@DynaDuctINC If a smith wanted a file he made it. Start with bloomery iron made by said smith or a dedicated bloomery,its easy,very easy to do this if you can make a fire. Forge the selected piece of iron into the desired shape thus working carbon in and refining the iron. When the shape is attained simply take a sharpened chisel and punch in teeth at the desired angle and depth. Quench harden and bingo a file is born.
