I like how patient you were with straightening the blade. I’ve seen you do a lot of blades. Your a great forger and metalist. Keep up the great work and the vids.

I think this is the first video I have seen where I can watch the entire sword and scabbard being made start to finish from scratch. Seeing what it takes to make something as "simple" as a chape or throat for the scabbard, for example, was really educational. I definitely plan on watching many of your other videos! Lovely sword and scabbard, by the way!
You are a true Bladesmith my friend. Your attention to detail it's just too great. If you sell them, and had the budget, your blades would be a must on a collection. Looking forward to keep watching your awesome builds. You are one of the best Bladesmiths I have seen so far. Keep it up!
Idk if you would be up for it but on the off chance you see this comment. I think it would be a great idea to just briefly put in some text at the bottom of the screen describing the major steps to make it easier to learn from throughout the video. Great work
Probably the type of people who think a sword should have widely serrated edges, a crossguard 4 inches high, and a demon-head pommel which weighs 2 pounds by itself!
This is more fun to watch than I would have expected. The whole process is fascinating. The end result is really a work of art. 10 out of 10, would watch again!
this is as far as i am concerned, your masterwork~! absolutely beautiful technique that shows and TEACHES your incredible bladesmithing talents. thank you, Freerk!
The final product is a work of art, the true magnificence of the blade is the master’s touch. Thank you for sharing. I enjoyed listening to the sound of the sword being forged and seeing the handling of the blade by the Blacksmith shown in the film.
You know why I love this guy's videos? Well, first off because I learn alot but secondly, no music, no talking, no ads to speak of, no bullshit explanations. Just work. If you need this explained to you your in the wrong place.

Thank you for your creations. I want to ask you about a procedure or technique that you did, starting from the 21:40 minute, which is heating the mustache or barrier, or what some people call dogs, and pressing it with a hydraulic machine between two bars. I wish you the answer. I wish you success and prosperity. 
Beautiful piece of work. I would love to own one but I think the price tag would be pretty high. Would anyone be able to tell me what would be the price for this Beautiful sword? Just curious 🤔
Imagine everything that goes into making a sword happen. Starting with someone digging rocks out of a mountain to get a chunk of iron, then turning that into steel, then a thousand more steps to make a sword. Crazy. And this guy has modern equipment.
Well, what can you say? The craftsmanship here is off the scale! What a fantastic sword, I bet the panel on Forged In Fire would not want to come up against this guy!
I would like to ask one thing, do you and other blacksmith's share tools and space? I'm just starting, and am not quite sure how to afford such amounts of equipment.
This sword, and especially the scabbard, make me cringe. Due to how he shaped the blade using the dies on the press, the blade has no distal taper, so it is heavier than it needs to be in the blade. He has several, fairly large & thick collars on the hilt, which, while helping to counterbalance the heavy blade, also serve to make the whole sword heavier. The scabbard, however, is what really hurts. The blade cavity is not shaped to fit the blade tightly, so the sword will rattle like no one's business. The horns on the bull's head decoration are absolutely a hazard, not only to the wearer themselves, but also to anyone or anything the wearer moves past. Finally, and most disturbingly, the opening on the metal throat piece, especially since there is a cavity between the metal piece & the actual throat of the scabbard, is going to scratch that blade to hell, and dull the edge, every time it is drawn or sheathed. There is a lot of skill & technical know-how on display here, but absolutely no common sense.
@@tuckerabbott You seem to be laboring under a misconception of what the term "Distal Taper" means. It is not the difference in thickness from the spine to the edge, as your statement seems to suggest you think it to be. What it actually is, is the difference in thickness from he base of the blade to the tip. Because of the dies he used, the blade is the same thickness all the way down it's length, meaning it does not have a distal taper.
I don’t think I have ever seen someone forgeweld the guard onto the sword itself, must say I was a bit shocked but I am also extremely impressed!! Keep up the great work
Amazing that it only took you 55-mins, 52-secs to make this sword. Would have taken me AT LEAST twice that long. You've got skillz brother! Liked & subscribed. I appreciate you not adding stupid music to the background. The sights & sounds of the forge... music to my ears. I can almost SMELL the workshop (go take a shower, btw... you smell). More stuff like this, PLEASE!!!
This is an amazing piece altogether. I do have some doubts about the belt lug. I’m not sure how it’s going to support the weight of the sword for a long period of time. Regardless, historically scabbards did not have a belt lug. Your sword belt would have ends that wrapped around the scabbard and braided together to encompass it like a Chinese finger trap.
JUST for pasión.. I did my first Sword 20 years ago without using any machine, just handmade with a File. I know, wasn’t exist GOOGLE nor RUclips to learn more. The machines could damage the piece with a simple mistake if slide of the hands, with File is more secure and exact performance.
Beautiful workmanship! You are a craftsman of no mean proportions. I've seen some of your other videos, and I'm always amazed at how you can transform simple metal into works of art. I would love to have one of your swords if I could afford it. LOL
Truly amazing craftsmanship!! the production of such an amazing piece of work/art is worth the big price. Plus knowing its not mass produced junk that falls apart immediately makes me willing to pay top dollar. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!!
I like how patient you were with straightening the blade. I’ve seen you do a lot of blades. Your a great forger and metalist. Keep up the great work and the vids.

55 min in sword making but 5 sec to view its beauty its not fairs...

This man's level of skill blew my mind a true Craftsman I could sit and watch him all day thanks for sharing your talent with the rest of us
These are the most beautiful swords to me. its just a simple humble sword made well and with good technique. thank you for posting this

Beautifully made, many adorning but also functional details. Impressive to see the variety of techniques used.
Tip: watch at double speed.
I watched for 55 minutes without ever getting bored. The result is great. I like that you pay attention to all the details.
Awesome piece. The consistently high quality of your work is astonishing.
That is one of the nicest swords I have seen I would love to own that is there anyway
As I watch this I keep thinking, you are making this all look WAY too easy. What an art. Beautiful.
i love the safety he practices! gloves, facemask, apron etc a lot of people i see grind steel and cut wood without protective eyewear
Awesome didn't waisted my time watching your master piece I can watch it one more time.
again...a masterpiece. Excellent and beautiful work!
+100 points for the duct tape band-aid, we've all been there :)
And will be again
My great grandfather would just slap some sulfa on it and wrap it with the nearest type of tape, I drew the line at the sulfa though...
Wow, finally someone more forging than grinding. Beautiful and functional. Pommel attached as it should be. Congratulations, well done.
There's something very evocative about the sound of hand forging. I could watch and listen all day.
Does the chain wrapped around the anvil help stop ringing/vibrations when your using the anvil?
Same question, bro, already noticed that. what is it for actually?
Makes it quiter absorbs some of the shock
Yes.....Chain absorb a part of the high frequency vibrations. Some blacksmithes uses a big magnet for that reason.
Absolutely phenomenal craftsmanship and video production! You deserve way more subscribers...

What kind of iron was used and is the sword capable to wistand an actual spare against another sword? Weight? Balance ?

a new blade, a new favorite. Awesome work!

Would anyone be able to tell me what would be the price for this Beautiful sword? Just curious 🤔
I love watching your videos ... impeccable details always, you lead the whole process with admirable mastery and produces true works of art!
People who make these types of videos should have a "buy it now" or "order one now" button in their description. Otherwise, it's just cruel.
How did you come up with the dimensions, did you base it on historical examples or use any particular geometry formula?
Probably Historical, as smiths of old were masters of their craft and had the measurements perfectly done.
Probably farted and made the sword right.
@@Leman.Russ.6thLegion bruh

SENSACIONAL! Um dia vou ter condições suficiente de montar uma oficina como está e forjar por hobby, coisas tão belas como essa espada.
Eu também penso nessa mesma coisa
I don't know about the heat treat. It seemed to be quite cold at the hilt when you quenched it. Does it affect the sword's performance in any way?
Awesome! Could you look into making a war spear or a halberd next?
cucumber conflicts?!? vegetable dude : )
A beautiful piece of work.
I would love to know how long it would take to forge a longsword like this without the use of a power hammer.
That will take ages)))
weeks
Well think about the graft they had to put into making a sword in the medieval times etc
Wow ! this sword it Is a beautiful master piece what a talented and creative person...respectfuly !
Una espada magnífica digna de un Rey. Un gran trabajo ( Great job )
Damn dude, I love your work so much, and the format of your videos. It's very peaceful. Please keep making them, I get so much enjoyment out of them!

You have no clue do you? You get a distal taper from doing a full flat grind
