Hey guys this is my 4th official post and this post is about the making or a medieval sword. I know what your saying "wow they didn't even have those machines in the old days" well I know that but its just the concept of it and it basically saves you time of watching a guy pound a piece of metal with annoying pinging sounds for a long time so this skips those steps but if you want to see how the do the shaping of the blade with a hammer then watch the second video(and yes this video doesn't have hammering by hand but it is the same thing, this video is just to show the shaping, hardening and sharpening of the blade).
Swords were among the most popular of the weapons in the period of the medieval ages and also one of the most affective. Swords were used to pierce body armor, and also slice and dice your enemy. Swords offer very good reasons to use it over other weapons of that time, for instance it has more blade surface for cutting, it has a long reach to hit your foes, and also you can make a sword very sharp and strong as it has the cutting power of a knife and the chopping like an axe if used right. This year I am planing on making a sword from and old metal stake. I don't have all the tools in the videos so I will be making it by hand like a blacksmith. My sword design is probably going to be a medieval sword like this one called the Excalibur(at the top of the post). When I'm done making my sword I will post pictures. Stay tuned for my progress on my sword thanks!
Man, this is too sweet! I’ve always been a fan of medieval time weaponry, swords, bows etc… I really like your site, mostly for that reason. The part I found most interesting, was the “how to make a sword” that is too sweet, that cough my eye right away haha! Keep up the good work man! Very good job!
