  • In this video Matt and Ilya make a falchion for Skallagrim. This is a full build episode compiled from the 8 part series we did last year of making the sword. WE show the forging of the blade, the grinding of the blade and grinding the fullers, heat treat the sword, forging the guard and pommel and how to do a wire wrapped sword handle. Skallagrim then tests the sword at the end by cutting some tatami mats. Please visit his channel and watch the video of him doing the full break down of the sword with commentary. • Here it is...

      You can totally build a sword in one day. A very long day and only after many years of practice and building. It’s also not going to be particularly ornate or likely beautiful. Also, if you can make a knife, a sword is well within your abilities, especially if you just build a materials removal blade from a decent sized blank. Heat treat and normalize in your home oven with an auxiliary thermometer.
      Obviously this isn’t as easy a my words suggest and there will be many, many failures along the way.

    I really like this style of video. It's certainly cool that you have an 8 part detailed series for this but for a non-blacksmith I appreciate the cliffs notes version that hits all the highlights.

    Simply amazing and totally inspiring! I have been bit by the sword making bug! Your control with the power hammer is insane and the tight radius grinding wheel "mind blown" well done guys! Masters for sure.
