The best thing about this is that the question asker could just buy two swords for like a total of 90 bucks and it would be easier and more inexpensive than making a couple yourself.
Cursory Google says that katanas are the cheapest functional swords with the cheapest being around $129. There's a briquet sword for $122.90, but most functional swords in the first page are katanas that average around $300, and two of the western swords out of five were more than a thousand dollars.
Hey guys, this fool wants to make swords so him and his buddy can swing them at each other. I think the premise of it being a "proper" sword went out the window the moment these guys wanted to FIGHT WITH SWORDS AGAINST ONE ANOTHER!
Plato just made up Atlantis for "The Republic" as a metaphor for Athens. He said that it *was* in the Atlantic, and that the Egyptians told its story to his ancestor, not himself. That website was wrong on multiple fronts, even the fictional ones.
actually, Atlantis was from a different Plato book, the one he didn't finish because he died, where Athens goes to war with, and defeats, the great Atlantis. He also wasn't particularly specific about the location, though it seemed to be beyond the Pillars of Hercules, which would probably mean the Atlantic. But, besides that, yeah. Definitely a metaphor for Athens and definitely the whole "ancient Egyptian story" thing is just part of the parable.
This is gonna turn out one of two ways; He and his friend quit halfway through the research part, realizing that it was a stupid idea, or they actually make the swords because no one's gonna order all the need materials only the chicken out, they fight with them once until they realize that swordfighting is tiring as fuck or until someone actually gets cut, then they start a UA-cam channel called -"The money could have gone to charity but instead we built swords even though we could have bought them on Amazon"- "SwordBros" where they post videos of them cutting watermelons and stuff.
“Right to cut off arms” is a joke that went unappreciated.
thank you for saying this i was looking for this comment
THANK YOU I was going to comment this if no one else had already. travis I see u and ur little one liners lmaoo
I have listened this bit about ten times and just now noticed that Griffin made an awesome The Crucible joke everyone completely blew past.
9:07 Fun Fact for our boy Griffin. Swords are now legal to open carry in Texas!!! So he could do exactly that.
My hatred for the state of Texas is now battling with my soul-deep desire to OPEN CARRY A SWORD
Writes down another reason to NEVER visit Texas
Making a REAL sword?
Eeuuuuaaaarrggghhhaaa....
"Right to cut off arms" is such an underrated travis wordplay
IM GONNA CLANG!
SQUAD!
Welcome to Clang Squad, a UA-cam comment inside a UA-cam comment...
Griffin I appreciate your The Crucible joke even if your brothers didn't get it
its funny that they had this bit and then justin still fucked up his RP characters sword by trying to chop up metal
as someone who does actual blacksmithing this episode made me had a stroke
Was it ....too accurate?

Providence83 I dare you to find two swords you can use properly for $90

less magical though

this unironically made me realize how idiotic the NRA's arguments are lmao
Gun swords ARE real though
i choose to believe that "anvilfire" is a play on Angelfire

Wanna know something awesome about swords? Gun-swords are real. They're just very rare.

@1:36 trav is more knowledgeable of swords than the question asker. Damn this is a good show.
This one was buck wild.
Crucible steel is a no. The other two the answer is yes they are necessary
The level of incorrect that is Travis is incomparable
They preface every show by saying "their advice should never be followed"
*berserk clang sound effect*
I've got my grasses on...
Wow anvil fire with the wrong comic knowledge-adamantium is an alloy, not an element
did they accidentally reinvent the WTNV "guns can't kill people" joke
this bit gives off major Cody "Nightangel" Walsh vibes
Clang? I prefer GCC.
The sword jokes were all just to the right of that anime about the dude with the backwards blade and the worst English dub accent
Samurai x
...all of them?
As an ~amateur~ blacksmith this is painful for me 😂
where was the nsfw warning
Cor Phoenix not safe for weapons
No! Stop forging weapons
