Oh wow. I remember watching this when you first uploaded it to RUclips back in the Day! One of my all time favorite smithing videos. Didn't know it was a dang museum exhibit! You really coming up in the world. I'm happy for you, you deserve it mang.
So, about the logo part. If I understand well the sticker is there in order to protect the rest of the sword and define what is going to be etched on the metal. So when you use the machine only the pieces of metal exposed to it are affected and therefore etched. I hope I got that right, the machine that you're using seems to work something like a welding machine.
That's some beautiful work. I really like the design of the guard, and the details you added. My only criticism is that indexing a cut looks like it would be difficult with the round handle. But I understand this is intended as more of a showpiece.
I believe I destroyed a panneldoor in his house as a counter measure. We had a laugh about it after. He did not what to fix the door as it was a great reminder.
@@freerkwieringa275 Heh. 😄 I thought a panel door was wooden, so I'm surprised to see dings that looked kinda like blade on blade clashes. I guess that means it's monosteel rather than sanmai, and low 50's on HRC scale ? Anyway, big +1. Your vids are always a visual treat. 😄
BTW, i confess i'm not innocent of a little weapon/furniture abuse myself ... I have an assortment of shuriken buried in my closet (since designated illegal in NY), a throwing knife I broke the tip off of in a friend's picnic table (which we stood on end), a throwing hatchet I'd notched on a hidden nail (probably from mounting an old bird house/feeder, thermometer or clothes line), plus all the stuff from my time in the SCA and Iaiado (has it been 30+ yrs already ?!). Sucks getting old. Sorry to ramble.
@@freerkwieringa275 Ah, ok ... I misread your reply. ☺ Fun relevant fact (for the benefit of onlookers who might not already know) one of the main differences between theatrical sword fighting (as seen on stage, TV and movies), and actual historical fighting (ex: European HEMA, and especially traditional Japanese swordsmanship) specifically involved edge design and how blade clashing was managed. In theatrical fighting (which often invokes flashy athletic moves and lots and lots of blade on blade clashing), the performers are nearly always using unsharpened replicas (read: appleseed edges at best) that have not been hardened nor sharpened, and thus can withstand heavy abuse and carried less risk of catastrophic injury, and which could be simply beaten back into shape or replaced at modest cost ... real swords however, if shown at all, are usually limited to just occasional closeup shots that dont entail clashing (ex: locking hilts and glaring at point blank). In stark contrast, actual battlefield combat (such as during the samurai era) often involved traditional sanmai style swords that had soft lower carbon cores and cladding to resist shock, and only the edges (high carbon steel) were differentially hardened and sharpened to a deadly edge. To protect those high performance edges, samurai trained and practiced meticulously to properly maintain them, and to avoid edge on edge (or edge on metal) clashing wherever possible. The bushido code DEMANDED that swords be cared for with deeply spiritual reverence, and their quality and condition reflected directly on the bearer (a rusty, notched or damaged blade was a cause for shame). Instead of blade on blade clashing, a samurai's preferred technique to counter an incoming swordedge strike was to bat it aside with the unhardened shoulders of the blade (hence the shallow bevels seen on the sides of the spine), or or with the flats or spine, and then counter with the edge or tip ... but only if/when an opening appeared. That need to bat aside an attack to create an opening while protecting one's edge, or to preemptively draw and strike first is sorta what gave birth to the sports of kendo/kenjutsu, and the style iaiado/iaijutsu, respectively. Strong edge on edge impacts were, and still are, a big NO NO. Anyway, that's today's tidbit of antiquated lore. Cheers. 😇👍
Haven’t been watching long enough to realize this was your own sword, so I was thoroughly confused why you were putting your stamp on what I thought was a historic piece lol
I would like to see if you can make a 1st copy of Prophet Muhammad's sword (Peace and Blessings be Upon Him). That has arabic engraved 1443+ years back without all these modern day technology.

How do you get a nick like that out? Do you have to grind away the depth of the Nick on all sides and then reprofile the edge?
this sword looks like it was taken straight from TSOIAF universe, beautiful work : )

Was someone chopping rocks with that sword? I'm not sure I want to know how they chipped and notched that blade.
Wow this is rare. I hardly see any Smith's fixing their swords
Considering the damage, I hope the owner won the fight
It would be nice for you to tell us what the inscription means!

What happens to the swords that you make? do you keep them or sell them?
They are sold. This one returned to be cleaned for a show.
Your pommel sculptures are absolute perfection! I love them all!
Gorgeous H+1/2, and a great refurb. Whoever notched that blade (misuse) deserves punishment.

That sword looks like it was on Forged-in-Fire. Lucky there were no catistrofic failures.
most of the guys in forged in fire could pack their stuff and leave when freerk enters the room :P
Didn't you have to reheattreat it? Sentence you put it on the sander?
No. Its still in good shape HT wise.
I love this sword specially the guard.👍👍🔥🔥

Jesus, how could this happen? who did it to the sword? look how they massacred my boy
Somebody with allot of strength went all out with it on another hardened blade of mine with a more wedged edge shape.

Your refurbishing a sword like that what cause did Nixon the damn sword
And the person who put them there should be responsible for the Knicks and The Sword and the refurbished
