    A few observations (uhm akshuallys) from a sword collecting nerd who watches channels such as skallagrim, scholagladiatoria, etc.:
    From the look of it, Joerg, the handle seems to actually fit your hand pretty well for a viking style sword, but you would certainly know the size of your own hands better than I.
    As for the "blood line", that's a fuller, which is a structural and weight reducing construction, nothing to do with bloodletting or vacuum reducing, as is often incorrectly stated.
    It was good of you to compare the swords, showing the difference between a modern Cold Steel brand reproduction and the real historical dimensions.
    Another advantage of the plywood is that it gives a pseudo damascus look (not exactly historical, as i understand it, but certainly adds to the "cooliness" factor).
    All in all, great build! I may have to try to copy it one day in my own workshop! I'd be interested to discover the impact resistance of the crossguard and pommel sections when made with plywood.

    Joerg, why not simply remind your audience about your patreon. This time don’t promise goals that will cost a huge amount of money, but simply state you need it to carry on making videos. We all love your videos and don't want to see you stop, also it would give you the freedom to work on projects YOU want. Edit: Great to see loads of people agree, and I'm sorry about the grammar I was very drunk!

  • @micahpardee1467
    @micahpardee1467 6 років тому

    Historical Viking era swords had short handles. From what I understand this is because they were used in a specific way and the hilt shape and size lends itself to that. So the original owner of this sword might not have had small hands at all as the handle is designed for the users hand to take up all the space.
    Also, its a fuller, not a blood groove. Blood grooves are not an actual thing. Fullers serve two main functions; they reduce weight, and they increase the stiffness of the blade thereby making the sword better for thrusting.
    Having said that its a great looking piece and the craftsmanship is top notch as always!

    The groove down the middle is called a fuller and not bloodgroove. It was simply for making the sword lighter, not for having blood run through it.

    Interesting fact - viking swords were not used for stabbing, authentic ones are almost round at tip. Stabbing techniques (and weapons specialized on it) came to be when slashing weapons (first swords - against low armored enemy, than fashions against enemies in mail) were countered by early versions of plate armor, like brigantines.

    Short handles are very common on early medieval swords. (9-8cm) It's not because they had smaller hands but the swords should ideally lock into your hand. Plus in my opinion, clenching a sword in a hammer grip is not the best. The pommel should provide a lock for your pinkie when holding it more in a sabre grip. You get extended reach when thrusting and the sword also more agile in the hand.

      Although it’s not a “blood channel”, sometimes a blodwarp or blood eddy image would form in the pattern weld along the fuller.

    The groove is called a fuller. When a blade like that was forged the fuller was pounded in using a bar in order to flatten out the sword and to provide extra strength to the blade.

      Montanus, considering he's getting zero UA-cam ad revenue, he may have to do both.

    JoergSprave - First of all, great work on this! Second, I think you would enjoy learning fire hardening and fire straightening techniques. In ancient times, before stone-hafted spears were invented, the end of a long staff was put into a fire until it started to smoke, at which point it would be scraped on a rough rock to remove the burnt and burning parts and put back into the fire for another round. This was done until the staff had a point and the remaining wood would then be much denser and stronger than it would have been. The whole shaft would be put over the fire until very hot, but not burning, which makes it much more pliable and able to take the bend you give to it. A rock that had a hole drilled into it was used as a tool for straightening the heated wood. This straightening technique was also done with arrows and the reverse (giving a bend) was done to make boomerang-like weapons
