A great collection. The fuller on a sword was only to make it lighter to wield to help make it better ballanced. nothing to do with making it easier for pulling the blade out of a body apparently :)
At first I thought that weaponry would not be relaxing to me, but this was both fascinating and calming. Thank you. I would love to see additional objects from your travels as you clearly care for the details and it is wonderful to see.
Such a wonderful collection. I have to say your videos just keep getting better! I would love to see more travel souvenirs and hear more about where you back packed.
Yes please, to more objects and collections! I loved this so much. :) I love how well suited your personality and interests are to ASMR. You're a fantastic ASMRtist.
Forgot to add the tip of wrapping a strip of emery abrasive cloth tightly around a handy-sized wooden block (about the size of a cigarette packet) to make the sanding job a little easier and give a more even finish to the blade. P.S: Some scabbards are fitted with a small patch of lambswool that can be oiled to protect the blade each time it is drawn and sheathed. Oddly enough, the very worst thing you can get on a sword or knife blade that isn't made of stainless steel is *blood*. Liquid rust.
Thank you very much for this, I will make good use of the information! I always tried to dry the blades with a soft cloth after manipulating them, but this was certainly not sufficient. Cheers!
The grooves in the blade that help the blade not stick in the body, is actually false. The main purpose for those grooves is prevent the blade edge from shattering.
thank you. I think Iran was my best trip ever. I have no sympathy at all for the current regime in Iran, but the country is magnificent and it is hard not to like the Iranians. I met so many people who where opened, welcoming and well-educated that it made me realize that reality was far more diverse and complex than these images of fanatical crowds that often represent Iran outside.
Fantastic as always. My favourites are... I was going to say minecraft videos but then I realised I really like the space ones too, and also your garden.. so many to love! Apologies if this double posts, my browser doesn't allow me to click 'like' on youtube video and it always posts comments twice :(. Anyway, I look forward greatly to the day you produce an hadron collider video :D. Best wishes, Ash (who wishes he lived in Chile :)).
Hmmmm for some reason I have a feeling you may have been in the Foreign Legion at one point. Your knowledge about the world, and artifact collection make me believe that you were a general or something. XD
I enjoyed your video as always, but couldn't stop myself cringing in horror whenever you touched the blades of those weapons! The rust staining on the first kindjal that you showed is actually caused by sweat on your fingers. (This is the real reason why people should never be allowed to handle the blades of weapons when 'taking a closer look' at them!) If you are *very* careful, you might be able to remove the worst of the rust stains by gently rubbing the spots with a fine (420 or 600 grit) emery cloth abrasive. Then use a liquid metal polish such as 'Brasso' over the entire blade to bring it back to a reasonable level of shine. Wipe off any residue with a clean, dry cloth and apply a thin coating of light oil to protect the blade from any further damage. Bonne chance, mon ami!
No, don't touch them, don't clean them, don't modify them, don't do anything to them. That is the first mistake all people who don't know what they are doing make when it comes to 'restoring' any kind of historical artefact. You want to leave them in their original state always. The best thing you can do at this point is just leave them be & make sure they don't come into any kind of contact with moisture. A quick going over with oil to prevent any further moisture from getting to them would be recommended. Also remember, if they can survive a century or two of killing and beating, then they can survive another century even a millennium of sitting in a room.
JessLe- Berry In theory, I would have to agree 100 per cent. Unfortunately, the damage has already been done. Fingerprints, blood and sweat are incredibly destructive to blades of any age. I belong to a Viking-era historical re-creation group, and have some practical experience in making (and re-finishing) replica blades. Restoration's definitely not a task to be taken lightly, but when it's being done, it should be done with extreme care. Even so, I would only ever attempt to restore the undecorated sections of bare metal, to avoid damaging any original damascene or niello work.
The term Oriental has been severely bastardized. Most believe it refers to China or India. It actually refers to the Middle East. Think Byzantine or Constantinople.
pardon me for asking. how on earth did you manage to pass through customs with all these items .by the way,just like all the previous videos,including this one.TERRIFIC.thank you so much,& i have always said that whispering is good for the soul!.
Another great one. To pay you back for so many fantastic vids ... how bout I give you one of my favourite history vids on uTube. The Man who Made China watch?v=Yb1CcvqJ0gc A bit farther east than where these came from, but plenty of sharp objects and valor for two hours. Peace.
I wish there were more videos of this variety. Weapons, history, soft-spoken, ASMR. Love it. Always come back to this video.
This video is still great!
Yet another ASMR masterpiece made by the French whisperer
Wait a minute
Hold on a sec
Bro?
The "gutters" are called a fuller and contrary to popular belief are not to help remove the blade they improve the structure of the blade
Well, fullers do help remove metal from a blade to make it lighter, but it does also help in improving blade structure.
A great collection. The fuller on a sword was only to make it lighter to wield to help make it better ballanced. nothing to do with making it easier for pulling the blade out of a body apparently :)

I really enjoyed the video and its combination of details of these lovely objects as well as your own reminiscences.
thanks!
Such a wonderful collection. I have to say your videos just keep getting better! I would love to see more travel souvenirs and hear more about where you back packed.
Thank you! I will definitely make other videos with souvenirs and talk about my travels.
Beautiful craftsmanship & superb details.
Yes please, to more objects and collections! I loved this so much. :) I love how well suited your personality and interests are to ASMR. You're a fantastic ASMRtist.
thank you very much! I will make other videos of the same kind (actually this was my only collection, but I have plenty of other objects to show).
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR I would LOVE to watch and listen to an updated version of this! What a beautiful collection.
@@TheFrenchWhispererASMR Oh yes,the more of this kind of subject the better. Wonderfull,thank you so much!.
I would definitely like to see more demonstrations of your travel souvenirs! Thank you for the excellent videos.
thanks! There are more coming.
All your videos are wonderful, I look forward to them most evenings. This one was by far one of the coolest vids you have done. Thanks :)
thank you :)
I would definitely prefer to see more souvenirs and presentations, for they are truly fascinating!
You always have the most interesting subjects for your videos. Enjoyed it as always, thanks for what you do.
Thanks to you, I think you were one of the first to comment on my videos and it is really encouraging to see that people stay on this channel.
Very cool idea. Just happened to search "historical weapons asmr" and you popped up. Great asmr voice too.
Great video yet again. Love the fact that I'm learning whilst being relaxed. Thanks!

Bugzapper I really like your written english
You have some beautiful pieces. I have several daggers, I have a lot of weapons (antiques) - Merci 💯
Oh yes. I have found my new favorite whisperer.
Historical whispering. I'm on board...
Cheers friend.
Thank you and welcome then!
Your videos are always the most interesting and fun to watch. Relaxing voice too. Keep up the good work my friend.
Thank you, I appreciate it!
Thank you for sharing some history and information
"They belong in a museum"
These weapons are non effective apart from one. Museums only ask for effective weapons for general display.
@@iansilo105 Thank you for the fact. However I was making a joke quoting from the film indiana Jones and the last crusade
Glorious, this man is the real treasure
Happy to be of some assistance!
How did you get them past security? All the way to Chile
marcus tohmas they all came by sea in a container when I moved to Chile.
Oh ok. Makes sense
Loved it. Always do.
The grooves in the blade that help the blade not stick in the body, is actually false. The main purpose for those grooves is prevent the blade edge from shattering.
Am i right in saying the shield and the forearm protector are the same design?. Enjoying your videos as usual. So relaxing.
Excellent video! You're my fav asmrtist!
thanks :)
So very interesting! amazing video!
thanks!
Wow nice collection
Such an interesting collection, I would love to go to Iran one day!
thank you. I think Iran was my best trip ever. I have no sympathy at all for the current regime in Iran, but the country is magnificent and it is hard not to like the Iranians. I met so many people who where opened, welcoming and well-educated that it made me realize that reality was far more diverse and complex than these images of fanatical crowds that often represent Iran outside.

ashdrawsthings Thanks!
Great informative asmr video! Regarding the inscriptions on the sword, they appear more Amazight than Arabic. Keep up the great work!
Thank you. You are right about the inscriptions, now I would like to find someone able to tell me what they say!
I love this!
Beautiful
Hmmmm for some reason I have a feeling you may have been in the Foreign Legion at one point. Your knowledge about the world, and artifact collection make me believe that you were a general or something. XD
It seems to me that more time is spent working on the motives than on the blade of the sword. I am not saying this a bad thing,just an observation.
I can't believe you went to Iran! Did you feel safe there??
well, yes. But I went to Iran in 2000, the political context was different.
How do you spell the first two knives' types?
Xanjar or Khanjar is Arabic ”Knife” or ”Dagger”. Cheers!
Didn’t know that! But I’m sure you are right because there is no root for the word in Arabic. Thanks for the info brother! Cheers
cool, i wanna see more.
you will :). Thanks!

Never touch the blade with you fingers but still a great vide👍
Please do more object videos!! :D
what do you mean by backpacking ?
Means traveling mostly, just kinda hiking with a backpack and seeing the world
@@kellerjo98 A much cheaper way of travel.
When the first weapon comes from my country of origin 😮
Did you mean ornamental arms? As these seem more Middle East than Oriental.
Middle East is technically Asia.
Yeah, Middle East is basically just Western Asia.
The term Oriental has been severely bastardized. Most believe it refers to China or India. It actually refers to the Middle East. Think Byzantine or Constantinople.
J. A. Ethier it refers to eastern. Oriental means Eastern, Occidental means Western. It doesn’t refer to a specific place
I don't think the inscriptions on the sword were Arabic i could recognize any of the letters and I'm Arabic btw
Heh. 2021 here
pardon me for asking. how on earth did you manage to pass through customs with all these items .by the way,just like all the previous videos,including this one.TERRIFIC.thank you so much,& i have always said that whispering is good for the soul!.
i want them
most of the swords were to firmly fit into the scabbard
Man this guy is rich.
