I've watched every video you've posted and learned so much just from watching. The narration present here has been incredibly educational and I appreciate it greatly! Many, many thanks for it! I particularly like the no nonsense approach to it. I don't have to hear about anything that's unrelated to the making of the blade, all of the explanations for details is clear and concise. I would love for you to do this style of video more often. It feels like a blacksmith/bladesmith course. Again thank you so much for this video and all the rest.
Another beautiful piece mate. I'm a blacksmith/ armourer too, but a serious illness last year has kept me in recovery for a long time and forseeable future so watching you is keeping me inspired. 👍❤️🙂
Excellent! I would like to see all your clean cut offs welded together piece by random peace into a sword and see what the pattern is. It would be amazing
Yes wel. That's how they did dit to get the star pattern. I would prefer forging to shape also. But I lose allot of definition in the pattern when I do.
Another awesome forging! Thanks for the narrative as well! Perhaps you can't discuss the pricing of your efforts here so is there a website with prices where we can peruse your wares? 😉Thanks again!
Excellent video, thank you for the explanation. Does the layering, especially 4-bar forge welding for this blade, actually make the blade stronger? What is the chance of it breaking or the layers separating if it were to strike medieval armor or another non-layered sword? How sharp did you make this sword? Your grinding abilities are amazing, and I'm always in awe. But wouldn't forging the fuller ('blood groove') be stronger and use less steel?
Beautiful work as always. I did also wonder why you used the boards to sandwich the blade, whether it was to provide physical compression or if it was a chemical issue to do with the carbon, but apparently it's both. Thanks!
What a thicc blade super cool pattern i love your ASMR videos but you have cool voice maybe you should do some voice overs for video game's or anime, that would be cool 😎 😸happy holidays 🎄🍻
@@freerkwieringa275 Yes, just on the steel. I was holding my breath when you forged those four bars together...so much of setting those welds is touch right?

Thanks! Great to hear!
Always appreciate the voice over. You have so much wisdom and experience to share. Beautiful work as always.
Thanks. I have to work on my showman skills.

I hope your recovering soon!
Been watching for a long time. I really enjoy the addition of the voiceover.
Thanks!
I for one really appreciate the voice over. As for the blade “Veddy nice “
Thank you!

thankyou for another amazing master-class! love the commentary, even though I could follow most of the process.
It almost seems like a waste when you grind that fuller. So much beautiful steel ending up on the floor. Such amazing skill. Loving the voice over.
Yes wel. That's how they did dit to get the star pattern. I would prefer forging to shape also. But I lose allot of definition in the pattern when I do.
Nice blade, and I do appreciate the explanation as you create your craft. Keep up the good work and God bless.
Thanks!
You're such an amazing sword maker very talented I love to watch you build a sword from start to finish, very Impressive.
Beautiful!
Thanks!
Великолепное изделие.Мое мнение-Мирового уровня вещь.
Thank you!

I should make one soon. But for now if your interested mail me at freerkwieringa@gmail.com
Really enjoying these videos! One question - what were the four passes you made intended to do when you were forge welding the bevels on?

Do you like the control of twisting by hand? or is it too difficult to spin that twisting jig with something like a drill?
I prefer the hand control. Some smith's have a very strong twisting setup. That WY you can controll the amount very accurately.
The video is definitely better with the voice over.
Where can we buy this sword? What is the price?
Hello. Mail me at freerkwieringa@gmail.com for orders. The sword is, still available.
15-20k for that level of craftsmanship? I’m sure that took the better part of 3-4 days just to get there. The pattern is excellent though
They are not that expensive.
Yes I did
Do you have a store on the internet that people can order sword swords ⚔️

Lol. Thanks. I will keep posting without voice.
@@freerkwieringa275 i didn't mean to insult you but rather it was a compliment 🤙
I assume you still use 1.2842 and 1.2767!? Would like to see you doing the Sutton Hoo Sword.
I would like to. But need the assignment
Other than your labor (which is worth whatever you decide) what's the material cost of this project?
The blade only?
@@freerkwieringa275 Yes, just on the steel. I was holding my breath when you forged those four bars together...so much of setting those welds is touch right?
Huhu. It's velvet glove stuff. I think around 200 euro on belts gas and steel.
What thickness do you aim for the fuller?
Explanation is most appreciated, noticed you have done a couple few over the years.
Thank you in advance.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👌👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
