Forging a Spartan Sword from the Movie 300

- In this video I am forging a Spartan sword from the movie 300! This is my take on Leonidas' sword from the movie which is a Greek Kopis sword with a 108 layer random Damascus pattern with double fullers on each side, mild steel guards and a bronze wire wrap handle.

What do you think of this sword? Will it cut? Will it kill? 🤣😜
It will cut and yes it definitely will keeel....
@@pratikshinde1664 my sons had a great time doing the cut test on this one! This is still one of my favorite builds
It will cut and it will keel! :D hast du deutsche Wurzeln, oder warum sprichst du so gut Deutsch?
@@smrettpecca Ich benutze Google Übersetzer! Danke fürs zuschauen.
It will Keal
Iv been requesting many swordsmiths on UA-cam to make a Damascus pattern Spartan sword.... My prayers have finally been answered after more than a decade! Thank you for this gorgeous piece of art👍
I’m glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

Any Spartan would be proud to bring that sword into a battle, excellent piece of work! Love your attention to detail!
Thanks for taking a look, Steven!
Bruh Spartans used to run from battles not fight in them
Glad to see the process. I am happy that you forged the width transitions so we could see the pattern as it compressed. Outstanding effect
Thanks for watching, Bob!
As a 300 fan, I appreciated this video.
Thanks for taking a look!
King Leonidas would be proud to carry such a blade
Thanks for checking out this build, David!
Beautiful sword. I saw a sword of that design (non-Damascus of course) in a museum in Athens, Greece in 1978.
Thanks for checking it out, James!
I don't know about movie "the 300" but this is not a Spartan sword, the Spartan sword "called a xiphos" had a waisted leaf shaped blade
@@jamesberry3230 the sword from the movie is a kopis, which is what this is. The kopis was mostly used from horseback as opposed to the xiphos used by infantry. Again, this was taken from the movie.
@@TyrellKnifeworks it is not a kopis which was single edged with a forward curved blade like a kukri which it looked like
@@jamesberry3230 it's a fictional kopis. The channel already pointed out that this is not historically accurate, why bother trying to point it out?
Just insane workmanship! Beautiful in every detail. King Leonidas would be proud to have this sword. That Damascus Pattern is Stunning and the Copper Wire Wrapped handle is a beautiful contrast. Truly a work of art.
Thanks for taking a look! This is one of the few builds I’ve kept for myself.
@@TyrellKnifeworks I can surely understand why. )) My name is Joe and I'm your newest Fan. Your skills and knowledge are very impressive. I'm envious too. ))) I'm in NC. Do you have a web site or an email?
@@BlessedMe11 there’s a link to my website in every videos description. There’s an email contact form on there. 🙄
Amazing work. All the hard work made it turn out beautiful
Thanks!
Them Spartan were honored freedom fighters of all time.
This is the sword that they should have had.
Beautiful work and only few men would want not to have on in combat
Thanks for checking out this build, John!
This is incredible work
Thanks so much, Zach! I appreciate you watching.
Incredible work once again!
Thanks. Still one of my favorite builds and one of the few I’ll probably never sell.
Really digging the music man! The work is awesome as well! All around great!
Thanks, Brad! Glad you are enjoying the builds!
One of my favorite parts of the historic builds is that if you took it back to that era it would be a weapon of legend. The technical limitations of the period couldn't come near modern steel.
This was a really fun build and one of the very few I still have. Thanks for watching.
Sword look awesome with that beautiful pattern. Tool used at 2 00 was super cool. Well made👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you! Cheers!
That came out super bad assed!
Thanks for checking it out! Still one of my favorite builds.
Whoa...cool hearing That Chapter's theme music played in this.
It’s actually freely available music on UA-cam studio. It’s open to anyone to use. It’s called “The High Line”. Thanks for watching
Absolutely stunning. Beautiful sword and great video.
Thanks so much, Steve! I appreciate you watching.
I love the Damascus look. Thanks for the video
Thanks for looking!
That pattern is ABSOLUTELY EPIC, YOU KILLED IT BRO🤘
Thanks for taking a look, Jonny!
😯Tyrell A+ man! What an undertaking to make this sword in Damascus! You did a great job man! The fullers worked out awesome and definitely help the aesthetics. I like your dust collection on your 2x72, I made the same one for mine. I thought the jig you made to wrap the handle was genius! Having wrapped handles myself this would be a big help! Man what an awesome sword and to do it in Damascus!👍👍✌The cut test was🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks so much for the kind words! That wire wrap jig was copied from someone else but I couldn't find the video again so couldn't put a reference in. I wish I would have clamped it to the table though... next time. My sons were thrilled to help with the cut test!
Thank you so much, I've loved their style swords thank you for making one
Thanks for watching!
Bravo sir! Awesome work

Very nice work. I look forward to future videos.
Thanks for watching!
This is so awesome great job man
Thanks, Noah. This was a fun build. My sons loved doing the cut tests on this one!
Been watching knife channels for ages and just about to log off and there you are. Really great i found this channel. subbed. Cheers
Thanks Dan! Glad you found the channel!
No Fuss no mess , just outstanding work. Really a pleasure to watch.
You are catching up with me because commenting is faster than watching the videos. Wow that is an amazing sword really nice
This is one of the few that I still own. I like to have it for shows because it brings people in. Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks wtf how can you still own that one.... Crazy shit.
@@darrell840 Cause I want FU money in order to part with it. 🤣
Beautiful sword
Thanks for checking it out
What a video! This channel deserve more subs
Thanks for watching!
Exactly my thought when I came across the channel...
Great job, well done indeed sir !
Thanks for watching, Peter!
I had to rewind to the point where you said you were making your first sword. Great build! Really like this.
Yes, this indeed was my first sword. Thanks for watching, James.
If you run a torch slowly down the length of that twisted wire and get it good and hot as you go along, it will relax and lose that springiness it gets from the twisting. It makes it a lot easier to work with.
Yeah, I figured that out after. Thanks for watching.
I laugh when you say a basic shape
For the love of god,all I saw was a mess and you created that !!!!!!!!!!!
Great work as always
Thanks for checking it out, Adam! This is one of the few works I still have and keep.
Nice work
Thanks for watching, Jerry!
Beautiful sword and my personal favorite sword pattern. The Damascus pattern is mind blowing, just amazing. I would of liked to see the fullers going toward the tip of the sword V"eed to infinity to draw the eye down the blade a bit and show off the pattern but that is being a bit picky. Beautiful work brother.
Bye the way, it will cut and yes it will kill.
I know what you mean on the fuller. At the time I could only find a 1/4” ball end mill. I would have rather used a 1/2” and then with the taper it would disappear to a point. That’s what the fuller on my quillion dagger build does. 👍 thanks for watching!
Felicitaciones es toda una obra de arte, solo faltan the Shield and Spear.. 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁 😁
¡gracias por ver!
That is amazing
Thanks for checking out this build!
I love this one too man. Just doing the work w great music, a quick explanation and back to it. It’s almost like ASMR for me. If I wanted to start forging myself, can you do a video for beginners of a tool list and setup list?
Checkout my Beginner Series playlist. That's exactly what you're asking for. 👍🏻. Thanks for watching.
BEAUTIFUL LLLLLL!!!!!!!
Thanks!
Nice work🙂
Thanks for taking a look, Jocke!
Excelente video! En el segundo 53 en que lo sumergues?
Thanak for providing us with great content no really it means a lot
Thank you for watching!
Güzel bir çalışma video için teşekkürler
İzlediğiniz için teşekkürler!
Great work! I've been planning to make a similar sword, modeled after the one used by the character Ahmad Sanjar from the Turkish TV series Uyanis Buyuk Selcuklu. He was Sultan of the Seljuk Turks about the same time period when Troy fell. I'm glad I watched your video, so I'll have a headstart on the process!
Next time you use twisted wire for a handle, try annealing the wire before you twist it, then anneal it again before you wrap the handle. If you start the twist with freshly annealed wire, it won't try to untwist itself. You'll need to polish it after you finish wrapping, but the whole process will go more easily with soft wire!
Yeah, I've since learned that trick of annealing it. Thanks for watching, Ted!
the best craftsman 👍👍
Thanks so much, Asin! I appreciate you watching this build.
Awesome informational educational video experience Y'alls
Thanks for watching, Steve!
Note to self: If you try wire wrapping in future, grow two more hands first.
Truth! The jig I made makes it much easier since it you can lock it. I can’t imagine doing it without something like that. Thanks for watching, Braden.
Pinapple: ........
You: THIS IS SPARTA!!!!!
🤣🤣🤣
Tgis is great thank you for posts
Thank you for watching!
A nice masterpiece. I suggest you look up daedric sword from Skyrim which has almost the same guard and pommel as the one you've created here.
Thanks for checkout out this build, Tirtha! I've heard about that skyrim sword, I'll have to take a closer look!
amazing
Thanks for watching!
very cool
Thanks for checking it out!
Very nice
Thanks for watching!
Wow nice sword ever👍
Thanks for watching!
Jesus this is awesome
Thanks for watching, Tyler!
i have no freaking idea why the heck you did it all damasks steel, but it was nice to see the form and the way of that sword. thank you.
Thanks for checking it out, Jefrey!
interesting and glad to watch, how you made this by complicated process. Have you ever made and review all your tools, especially for merging the plate. Are you design your tools by your self?
I just did a shop tour about 2 months ago and talked about all the tools. Check that out. Thanks for watching
Sehr schön vielen Dank für das Video 👍
Vielen Dank für einen Blick!
Sweet!
Thanks for checking it out, Bobby!
Great sword, surely it will kill, could you say the general measures like the total length and width that you used?? please
It’s 27” total length and 3” wide at its widest. Still one of my favorite builds too! 👍
Sparta would be proud
Thanks for checking it out!
Would the cold blueing last even on a piece that has been polished? Beautiful sword and great details of the whole process.🤙
Cold bluing isn’t very durable. I’ve since moved to hot bluing which is a much more durable and consistent process. Thanks for watching.
I don't know if you have noticed but..... Your anvil moves..... Just a heads up, now you know a thing. 😄
Totally awesome build brother, you have amazing skills.
Great work sir 👍👍
Yeah, that was my old 70 lbs anvil. I’ve since replaced that a few years ago. Thanks for watching
@@TyrellKnifeworks
So welcome, keep the hits coming my friend 👍
Hi hi Dennis,, I noticed you always seem to weld the ends of the billet with ark… could you use mig ? Or is there a good reason not to ?
Technically, they are both considered "arc" welding, but you mean with a stick welder instead of mig. This is just an old video before I got my new 3-process welder. If you watch my more recent videos, I use both mig and tig. Thanks for watching, Robert.
it's very great job
Thanks so much!
@@TyrellKnifeworks the next step what.. KATANA or Kukri XD ??!!
mostafa hassan. -not sure what the current project will turn into. I have the explosion Damascus billet and I’m working on some mosaic canister but neither is enough for a katana or kukri. Perhaps a keyhole chef knife or a quillon dagger?
Haha,I just stumbeld upon one of your videos and after a couple of minutes i startet to think how a damaskus-spartan-sword might look like,gadly there was a link to this one right next to it ^_^
I’m glad I could predict what you were thinking. 😜. Thanks for watching
I think that was really a fun project. And that fancy divider thingy was really cool as well. I didn't know they exist. Did you realize already on that project that it is more difficult to grind a longer blade?
At the time, this was twice as long as any blade I had previously done. It was really tough. Doing that transition from the edge near the ricasso to the main edge was really a pain in the ass! Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks hahaha yes. I guess you cut some belts with that
Tyrell, it will cut and keel!
It certainly will! Thanks for watching, Murshid.
Love the skills - where can I order one???
Sorry, Kevin, I’m not taking custom orders. I just sell what I make for the channel. I do have some knives available on my website, check those out. (Link in the video description). Thanks for watching
Love it! Truly worthy of a spartan. Any unforeseen challenges going from knives to swords?
Swords just mean larger areas to grind and heat treat. I have a forge and oven that fits knives but not swords so it certainly has its challenges. Thanks for watching.
Dude, study a little about Sparta. You just said this guy's work is bad
@@avatarking29 What are you being an ass? If you don't like this build, go watch something else.
@@avatarking29 what the bell are you talking about?
@@TyrellKnifeworks no, no, your work is amazing, the thing is saying that is "worthy of a spartan" is no good, cause in the movie 300 they were amazing but in reality Spartans were a bunch of cowards
Working with a piece like this though I think you really need a forge like my 6 burner
6-burner? That must go through propane like crazy. I’ve since upgraded to a ribbon burner with forced air, much more fuel efficient. Thanks for watching!
Bro that is one hell of a knife 🇬🇧🇧🇩🍻🍻🍺🍻🍺🍻🍺👍
Thanks for checking it out!
What is the purpose of the kerosine? isn't there a chance the liquid would go between the billets and when burned leave residue or something?
You want the kerosene to seep between the layers. When it burns off it does leave a residue that prevents scale. It doesn’t affect the layers from forge welding. Thanks for watching, Joe.
@@TyrellKnifeworks ahh cool. So it's working *for* you! My metallurgy knowledge is only from highschool :-)
This thing is awesome. It looks like it has nice weight towards the end and would just lob limbs off lol
It's a chopper for sure! Thanks for watching
Where do you get the maker mark stickers made?
I get mine from IMG Electromark. They do great work. Thanks for watching.
I don’t know squat about swords, I’m a former jarhead who used rifles. That said, I feel if I was to go into a fight with an edged weapon, the spartan sword seems like the one I’d choose. Light weight, built well, seems balanced, it’s obvious an “up close weapon, but what sword isn’t.
If I’m wrong, I’d be curious to hear why.
I'm totally with you on that. While a longsword or katana is a nice sword, it just doesn't have the power and umph that this one does. This one is a chopper but still lightweight enough to easily control. It's just a fun weapon to wield. There's a reason this is one of the very few builds I won't sell. 😉. Thanks for watching, Brian!
Ohh this will KEEEEEL
It’s a really fun blade to wield! Thanks for watching, Jay!
This may be a nitpick, but won’t the copper on the handle green with oxidation? And won’t it turn the users palm green as well?
This actually isn't pure copper wire, its just coated. If it was, I'd just coat the handle in a thin layer of clear enamel so it wouldn't oxidize. Thanks for watching.
@@TyrellKnifeworks no, thank you for answering so quickly!
Wow❤❤❤
Thanks for watching, Taylor!
Would love to see you make a pattern that is like 1000 layers
I know that sounds impressive, but you really don't see a pattern in that many layers. It just looks like a blurry fingerprint because the pattern is too fine. The sweet spot is really between 100 and 400 layers where you get the good contrast. Thanks for watching, Lee!
Only another 299 to go.😱
Ha, thanks for checking this one out!
Quá chuẩn. Chắc chắn và rất đẹp.
Cám ơn rất nhiều! Tôi đánh giá cao bạn đã xem!
Do you sell the swords or knifes that you make
I sell pretty much all my builds. I have a few knives available, check my website (link in the video description). Thanks for watching
How many inches is the full length of the blade?

Beautiful work.. glad I found your channel.. did you build your press? Oh yeah dont you burn your toes forging in sandals? Lol..you're braver than me..
Welcome Anthony! Yes, I built the press from the same plans as Loz Harrop if you watch his channel. Before the press, I built a power hammer but it was WAY too loud so I sold it and built the press you see. Thanks for watching!
@@TyrellKnifeworks it looks great and obviously performs well..awesome job!
That beval transition must have been a nightmare and you barely touched on it in the video, is this because you felt it would be boring due to the excessive hand sanding required? I ask because I'm intrigued to know how you tackled that and kept it even on both sides, even WITH a sanding jig it must have been a challenge, no?
You're right, it WAS a nightmare! LOL! I did it by hand filing mostly and using layout lines is key. Thanks for watching, Benjamin!
I’m a blacksmith as well. I’m ab to start a UA-cam channel like this one. Got any advice?
I did a video on 5 tips for successful UA-cam when I got my silver play button in Feb. Check that out. Have goals. Getting monitized in the first year is a good goal. Know and brand your channel. Stick to that content. Ex: Don't confuse people by staring with a bunch of blacksmith videos and then do one on cats. Know how the algorithm works: watch a lot of the UA-cam content provider videos on how to be successful. Lastly, if you join my Patreon, I'll gladly do some 1on1 coaching with you.
