Would you be able to offer your buttspikes for sale separately? I have one of your burgundian pollaxes that could really use a buttspike

Proud to be Irish 🍀

That what I love about longswords they're plain looking at first and kinda all look the same, but the devil is in the details. Beautiful sword 🤘💀

Looks like my Highland Claymore sword!😮…. Well , ok…. Handle and quillions are different…. But similar….

Beautiful sword. I need it but my wallet and bank acct. say I'm poor.

Type XVIII is best Oakeshott type. I fight anyones who says otherswise!

Oooohhh, could you do a video of how you make the handles, pretty please? (Or point to sources detailing this process?) I'm intrigued by this beeswax method you mentioned and would love to hear more about it!!

That is a Gorgeous Longsword, it gleams in the lighting in your shop. I couldn't imagine that sword gleaming in the sun! Another wonderful one-off piece, shouldn't have trouble selling that!

Beautiful.... I wish the VA loved me more, I want this sword.!

I love type xviii because of their resemblance to Celtic spathae

These cuts are done very well. Good job. The only suggestions I have are to find the swords harmonic point of balance, also called a percussion point, and aim your cuts with that section of sword. Hear that "TWAANG" sound? It means your cuts are landing too far out to the tip. Hold your sword in your hand out in front of you like a can of beer. Now with your non sword hand smack tha bottom of the handle and you should see a ripple in your whole blade. Now find the point where it ripples in on itself. Thats your percussion point

Okay my tacticool 100 dollar wakisashi will take a set because it is differentially hardened but brush up to wrist diameter is no match and will not bend it.

i own tons of machetes and out of all of them this brand always fails 🤣, the steel is just sooo weak, i cut through a hawthorn one time and watched the blade just roll🤣, any basic half inch cold steel Gerber knife holds up 10 times better than this particular one its hilarious. this is just an extremely poor quality machete is all, trust me i have 3 of them and all 3 have rolled/chipped blades

Very nice piece of work!

Good point about handle width though and thanks for the video!

I have used a Cold Steel machete for everything from trail and brush clearing to splitting reasonably sized logs. Never took a set. That machete like object just sucks.

i always seen machetes as disposable a little bent doesnt bother me, in a sword drives me crazy. jajaja

Gerber machete blades are crap! Imacasa and Tramontina will do you good but will not come fully sharpened like Gerber and the wooden handled ones sometimes require that you take a wood rasp to smooth out a few sharp corners on the handles. The blades are very good once sharpened well and Imacasa makes theirs with a distal taper. If you need a heavier duty one then Ontario Knife Company makes good ones with a distal taper too but with a thicker blade.

Please design and sell a machete lol

The Gerber gator machete is terrible. It's just bolted to the plastic handle. No tang.

This is why I like a good sharp hatchet more for woody brush. Not as good on smaller branches, but won't bend or go dull as fast.

I have some brush that needs to be cleared. Are you free tomorrow? Good stuff. Thank you.

You can make a better one.

NEVER use a sword to cut brush like a machete, is something I would have also said.

This looks like a rather low grade machete. I don't believe I ever managed to give any of my South American machete a set, no matter how bad I striked. But some came with a not perfectly straight blade, either because the stock steel wasn't properly straightened when it was uncoiled, or possibly because of residual stress that got "revealed" during the heat treat process. Even just a few millimeters of deviation at the tip really messes with the cutting ability. Hopefully it's not much work to fix.

I practiced Italian classical fencing, but for many years, I studied Japanese swordsmanship (FMA as well, I just like sharp pointy things 😆). You are so right in that the shape of the grip affects the indexing of the blade. The grip needs to be made to fit the hands if possible. I have seen very nice blades bend from a bad angled cut. Those two posted jigs come in handy! Great channel by the way. Thank you!

why is there a hole near the point of this machete?

Beautiful craftsmanship Sir. You are a credit to your profession.

Yay.

The Polish swords in the back were a nice touch

When will this be back in stock?

I haven’t watched this yet, but bet it will help with a cardboard sword for cosplay I’ll be working on

Looking healthy and good brother!

What would you think would be the best defensive style weapon that increases your chances of survival from Surprise attacks?

I love the extreme elegance of design on this one, coupled with a lack of excess fuss in the details. Thanks for a very informative video full of eye candy.

If I had the money, I would have an armory filled with this sword and the scorpion and many others - but, alas reality intrudes, and I have to get the house fixed up among other things

Hey, do you still take custom orders?

Love the tip profile of this sword! Ensures you can cut way out to the tip which is an underrated feature. fun fact! steel can be hardened by various cold processes like cold rolling and shot peening.

I really like it. If things were different I'd buy it right now. Thank you

Hey, the claymore you guys sent me is really good. The only thing that could’ve been done being is if you had the handle rounded out more. It was too narrow for my hands. Other than that, awesome job! It’s literally my favorite sword in my collection.

I have been sweating what I dropped on the Chen, until I saw how much your blade costs. I feel like I got a deal now. Sweet sword bro. I hope you sell a million.

people experimented with swords suitable for both cutting and thrusting from probably 1350 till the sixgun came in and swords went out. ca 1860. The thrust is quicker and probably easier to get home. The problem was, even a deadly thrust is not *immediately* deadly and the fellow you just stabbed is likely to stab you right back. Maybe if you could cut his arm badly enough he couldn't stick you?

This makes me wonder about why longswords fell out of use. By the time complex hilt rapiers became popular and the first military sabres popped up, armour was in decline, which should have given more room for cutting implements again and the problem with rapiers is that they're rather weak at parrying polearms and muskets with bayonets...

The Edge? U2? 😎

I like decent compromises between the two. Something like my Albion crecy.

This is a lovely video, thank you!

Been thinking between one of these a side sword or a full on Rapier to go with my Inquisitor outfit I'm putting together

I think im in love

When is it back in stock? It's on my wishlist.

You didn’t mention how the handles were made. I assume it is peened construction too.
