As a Brit it makes me feel genuinely proud knowing that these antiquated traditional skills are being kept alive by a dedicated few.
Obviously I am referring to the combover.
But what for?
@@Frauenhaus oh here we go 😂
@@Frauenhaus for that amazing hairdo of course
That is a champion combover
Yeah ur paying for it😂
absolutely phenomenal comb-over!
What comb over?
yeah, the godfather would look a lot more dignified without it
Godfather of the sword but never heard of a razor..
Hell of a comb-over ... Way to go fella, embrace your hair.
More of a comb-around!
Arrrhhh you beat me to it. I’ll have to think of something else now lol
Time to embrace to bald
That comment made this 5 minutes of my life worth while
Yep, you beat me to it. Gotta be the most ultimate comb-over in modern history. And the great thing is this: This great old bloke probably thinks he's getting away with it.
I loved that bit about True North. That's proper metallurgy.
Same here but I spotted a small mistake on part of the presenter. She says true north when she means magnetic north
@@timonmassarella5227 Easy mistake. And building metalwork might skew it anyway.
Question is, how did they figure that out before the compass.
@@rainyvideos3684 lode stone
Actually it's complete nonsense, I just googled it. Just an artisan myth, along with thousands of others.
Possibly the most audacious comb-over I've ever seen.
Literally hats off to him
...on second thoughts, hats on.
1813 my 4th great grandfather, a middle aged Cape Cod fisherman, led a band of volunteers who managed to capture a small unit of British soldiers (or possibly marines depending on the source consulted) The leader of that group of British prisoners, I believe a major, surrendered to my ancestor who kept the gentleman's sword. The sword got passed down and my Dad left it to me when he passed. A generation later, my third great grandfather from a different branch of ancestors was a Capt. in the Civil War. I also inherited his sword. Finally, my great uncle, an officer during the Spanish American War, who never had children, left his sword to my grandmother who left it to my Dad who left it to me. I have all three in my office. By far, the one with the highest degree of craftsmanship obvious to anyone who compares the three, is the one my ancestor captured from that British officer in the war of 1812. After more than two centuries, of the three, it's the only one that retains a lustrous finish on the blade.
GREAT story.
Something that really ought to be mentioned is that swords were a working tool for officers up until War One. It was not only a symbol of authority, but also the pointer by which they directed their troops' fire and movement. This leads many older blades to being weathered and worn. They were NOT the kind of thing one carried in a protective case to preserve the finish 😁
That being said, the British had the advantage of Wilkinson cutlery for 250 years before they went out of business and were bought [or resurrected, more like] by Mr. Poole. For much of my life, it's name was a byword for quality much like 'Toledo' or 'Camillus'.
@@carlhicksjr8401 Wilkinson was in the sword business about 1844 onwards. The company originated with the Nock gunsmiths, as in the Nock Volley Gun.
Unfortunately, Wilkinson quality dropped off post-WWI as swords became less relevant, the handling generally isn't anywhere as nice (I have one of Wilkinson's first 5000 swords, and it's absolutely lovely). Toledo is known for tourist tat in the last hundred years, and honestly, I've heard bad stuff about Camillus knives in more recent times.
Personally, early Wilkinsons, Pillins or Mole are great. Thurkle or Reeves otherwise.
@@Brigadier9 Yep. Knew most of that from the wiki. And yes, it's amazing how far some companies can get on their reputation, even when it's not deserved anymore. I've heard complaints about modern Camillus K-bars for the civilian market.
I think part of the 'less relevant' part of Wilkinson's problem was that swords became less fashionable. Swords were downgraded from something the propertied young officer spent 500 pounds on [roughly $10k nowadays] and became something required in an officer's kit in peacetime, only to be drug out for special occasions. Since the officer corps was moving out of Eton and down to the Middle Classes, and those Middle Classes were spending anything like what those fashionables in the good cavalry regiments were spending, their quality had to decline in order to stay in business.
@@carlhicksjr8401 I had a Wilkinson which I got priced up from their catalogue (custom patent hilt, full tang, Best Proved) at about £900 at the time of manufacture (1900).
Wow...🎉
So impressive! Happy to see that this craft is still valued and active.
This guy knows everything about swords, but very little about combing.
If you know that much about swords, how much do you really need to know about combing?
He used the sword to do his do
That's just how his character sheet is. All points in crafting.
Omg, amazing expert but mate, get a haircut!
I beg to differ, his comb over is on point and looks very meticulous, looks goofy as hell though but his comb over does seem ‘sophisticated’ in itself
Ollie "...using his job making swords to fund his law degree."
I'm reminded of Nigel Hawthorne's line in the movie "The Madness of King George III" when King George finds out his doctor used to be a minister.
"Well, I'm sorry for it! You've quitted a profession I've always loved and embraced one I most heartily detest!"
Beautiful craftmanship.
Are we talking about the swords or the guy's hair?
...that fold over thing is a genius design feature I've never noticed before. It secures the sword to the scabbard but also make it "streamlined" so it doesn't stick to the garmet...:D
Truly glorious comb over. Knight the man!!!
Thank you, so much. This is an amazing video. So much so many of us never knew. True masters of their art.
The sword has their soul. Exquisitely wrought. Thank you.🙏😊
I have an officer's dress sabre from 1789. Blued and gold etched blade. Still in mint condition.
In the 19th Century, Thomas Gill of Birmingham produced fine swords. One of the tests was to strike the blade flat onto an anvil.unlike other makers very few of his blades failed.
His slogan was 'Warranted never to fail.'
Absolute belter of a hairstyle 😂
OMG! THAT COMB OVER!!
beautiful craftsmanship
his comb-over or the swords?
@@Thatsme849 Why not both?
Wifey won’t allow swords. She doesn’t allow scissors either.
Now that’s the best damn comb-over I’ve ever beheld with my own two eyeballs.
That's the craftmanship and great tradition!
he could also be given the title, godfather of combovers
Brilliant!
Proud traditions well worth keeping strong!
Wow, I feel better about every bad haircut I've ever had.
This guy not only knows his swords, he also combs his hair with one!
I came for the sword, I stayed for the combover
What he lacks in awareness of his hair he certainly makes up for in sword knowledge
In Forces News We Trust
Dude let that hair go. It’s over 😂
Decades ago.....
Wonderful to see the process! 👍😊❤️
Wonder if it is sharp enough to chop that comb over out it's misery???😂
I actually liked the fact that the dude had the grandfather of all combovers and he just doesn't care. :-)
Just bludgeon with the blunt end.
that's the godfather of combover
Thank you for posting this story.
Checkout that comb over!
First thing I noticed!🤔🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Those old gentleman types consider it more embarrassing or in fact anti social to shave their heads. Foolish but that is their way.
@@fightforaglobalfirstamendm5617 Shaved head makes one look like a prisoner or a newborn, or a victim of leukemia
Bobby Charlton comb over.
4:07 starts the best part of the video. Thank you!
Love the 3 cylinder exhaust manifold on his forge!
"My wife wont allow them" made me laugh. The man is a sword expert.
She won't allow swords in the house but she will allow that comb over. Go figure.
That's pretty cool
Combover!!
The good ol 2009 emo side swept bangs. Rock on bro 🤘🏻
Can we get a round of applause for the most epic comb-over in human history????!!!!!!
a really handsome piece.
This gentleman has an extremely violent and aggressive comb over...
Stunning work, looking forward to the coronation!
What a super work of art!
That's a beautiful sword
The oil is aligned to Magnetic North. Not True North. Lines up the molecules. Makes it stronger.
As an Australian I am grateful to have a king.
That guy need to sort his comb over out 😂
Lord of the combover!
Thanks Much !...
The fact the brits still use legitimate swords in their dress uniforms is awesome. Us americans only have stainless steel show pieces
Fascinating that a family heirloom from the Victorian era looks so similar. I would say my sword has more ornate etchings on the blade.
The current swords are based the 1897 Pattern, so the design hasn't changed in over 125 years.
3:30 okay I never seen a sword with a locking mechanism for the Scabbard
Has that been around long or is that slightly modern?
been on naval officer swords since the early 1800s. climbing up and down ladders into skiffs from the big ships, you want your sword to stay in the scabbard, if it goes plop in the drink you`re a far way from the nearest shop that can sell you a new one.
@@doratheexploder286 yep, can confirm I've had plenty with that feature. Sometimes even had multiple fastening holes in the flap (sword belonging to P.F. Faulkner, commissioning engineer for the torpedo cruiser HMS Cossack).
Thank you. I never knew about the oil quench tank having to face magnetic North in the Northern Hemisphere.
It does not, it is just something he made up.
Young Mr Grace is a true swordsman !
can you do a forces news in the different swords the different arms of of the British armed forces have
So interesting. Beautiful sword. Thank you for sharing :)
impresive
That sword is a work of art, kudos to the sword smiths 😎👍
King of the comb over more like Malcom
I came hear for the comb over comments I wasn't disappointed
Traditions, that what keeps nation whole. 🇬🇧. God bless the 👑
Godfather of the Sword, but KING of the comb-over.
I came here for the comb over comments
Old chap doesn't have his own sword!? Absolutely tragic 😥
😂
I came to see the swords, but I stayed for the geezers hair .
Bro! If the wind ever blows that comb-over to the other side, he’s going to trip over his own hair.
True magnetism
Wow, I didn't realize there still are professional swordsmiths to this day. What a beautiful work of art!! Simply exquisite!!
Damn I love monarchies
There is a point where transitioning to a shaved head is far less humiliating than the alternative.
1:55 Surely you fall back on swords when law fails? Just saying.
Perhaps the "King" should fall on his sword.
That is a killer quaff is one thing that guy will never hear again
Master Engraver: proceeds to lazer etch with a machine and software with literally zero human interaction..
At least it was refreshing to see actual forging on actual forges, despite cutting to a gas rig for the hardening heat when they have perfect normal coal forges that can be used for the same purpose.
zero human interaction is just a moronic claim... there is plenty of human interaction creating the designs and properly aligning the designs, which do have to be done by eye I'll have you know. Albeit it is mainly design work but it is done by a person. furthermore, the acid etching is all done by hand.
Keep up the good work. Thanks you. Good reporting. Go Ukraine.
I can’t hear the narrator when looking at that spectacular comb over - it must be a Tourist attraction.
One hell of a comb over
Forge that man a pair of scissors for goodness sakes
I feel this guy will end up in a "worst ever hairstyles" blog at some point.n That combover is amazing!
those swords go through a lot of work. any dull blades will be discarded and reforged everything needs to be right because it it is not they discard it in the fire or sharpen it until it is right.
If you look very, very closely you can see that the sword expert has a slight comb over.
perfectly balanced as all things should be
Tbh you don't necessarily want perfect balance in a sword, ideally you want as much weight on the blade as possible to be able to cut more effectively, whilst not being so overweighted that it becomes unwieldy.
Woo! awesome
That comb-over 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
awesome :)
I say we should do away with guns and go back to the elegant times of swordsmanship. It's a great skill, great exercise and you have to think really hard before drawing a sword and putting your body into combat.
Magnificent!!
You liked the comb over hey?
When they said the sword had to be "tested," I was like WHAT. :-D Super cool, though.
Used to have the same model of forge before I went to a ribbon-burner with a blower. For the hardening they'd be way better off with a hi-temp salt rig. Gets it up to proper temp very quickly, no overheating. Doing a full-length sword blade in a forge for quenching is kinda ghetto these days.
Nice sword, that
Gammel smedje arbejde ser fedt id 🙌🙌🙌😯
Blade expert who has no Swords is a Book Title.
Never settle down! 🦅🇦🇱
imagine if his wife said he never lets her have what she likes in the house? all the feminists would cry ''controlling''
Very interesting.
Congratulations🎉
Godfather of Comb-over
Godfather of the Sword sounds like a dark souls boss
He's a king in his own rite King of the comb over.
Imagine if the sword snapped on TV when Malcolm was bending it
