And about that “too flamboyant” crack from Tyrinth. Have you ever looked at actual medieval weapons, clothing and art? That sword is rather plain by comparison.
@@markfergerson2145 If it's the hero sword of the main character from a hoity-toity family, you bet the one piece that doesn't get dinged is gonna be blinged out. I'm thinking of bejewelling it to make it look like ruby, sapphire and mother of pearl.
I don’t know about anyone else, but I had to read this comment three times before I understood what stress was supposed to be placed on which syllables. Also, I agree.
There should be a short named "Shadiversity medieval drip compilation" where all four of these fine gentlemen dress up in these amazing clothing and pose with the fantastic weapons like true medieval knights with the drip musical(cancun sega) playing behind. Just so every medieval nerd can have a video to show how good medieval dressup can be.
Shad, I think as far as the colors go for the pommel of the Shadiversity sword, you could test out a "faded" version that uses duller colors. Kind of the middle of the road option. Might look nice.
18:39 Tyranth is absolutely right, the red can stay, the blue and white are too irritating. As a bit of an artist myself, I think there should be a full steel version with the blue of the logo a bit darker than the rest and the white slightly lighter, but still silver. As for the red part, make it a gem. For the replica, a glass gem would work just fine, but in the book, you could make it a garnet or a ruby. I think the blue and red on the same sword would be, like Tyranth said, too flamboyant, too many colors in one place, but making it fully steel would be too bland and the sword of a main character deserves more than that. But a full steel version with a bright red gem in it is the perfect balance between the two. Also, red is just a neat color, Tyranth is absolutely right. But that's just my advice, it's your sword, do whatever you fancy. Great design over all, on both this one and Imperius!
Imagine working at Calimasil, having made this sword Shad designed (and liking it) and then hopefully asking "do you perhaps have any more designs?" And Shad just saying "don't get me started" Calimasil must be very happy with this cooperation.
As a thought, why not make up a 'Knight of Shadiversity' package once the swords are done? Source some good items to put in it, then when people order them you can bring in all the pieces and ship them out at a bit of an upcharge for putting it all together, maybe get a deal from the suppliers for working in bulk or something? Could even make it a kickstarter.
Perhaps the shadiversity long sword pommel can stay with blue and red, but shaped like the ruby and sapphire jewels, like a relic sword, representing a high status, rank or monarchy. Then have the metalic one for combat.
Also i dont think you do this already, but I would love to have the swords you designed as long as it's forged for combat, as that's my rule on collecting weapons. At the end of the day, I may need it to protect my home and family if need be. Due to the design and quality and sentimentality, I would easily pay a grand for such a sword and call it a bargain. Plus, it would look gorgeous on my hip as I wear a sword everyday and would even make a spectacular dress sword!
I don’t LARP, and all my blades saw combat in either the rock pile or the sand box, but that Imperious Mk 2 is gorgeous. If any plausible use of one fit within my capabilities after losing part of my spine I’d be extremely happy to have a pair of those (one for me, and one for thee….. so I can observe it’s beauty while still in use).
If I am able to, I'd love a sword for yardwork & outdoors things... Almost every machete I've used is ok to poor, but I haven't tried an actual sword! A messer or falchion should be best for such things as I have use... although not as easy to acquire as a basic Walmart wood cleaver.
Watch their video on turning a machete into a falchion! In that case, a thinner machete worked really good, and they basically just needed to make the cross guard and pommel, and handle for it. I have a machete sitting unused at home that I'm desperate to try out and see if I can make my own!
i love alexandian type longswords so big fan of the new larp sword. don't really do larping myself but i'd recommend dropping the color in the pummel and instead go maybe with unshiny and shiny points to kinda reflect that certain areas of the design were polished after grinding out the shape to make it pop expecially as light hits it. ps: longer handels are nice for leverage!
I'm in Shad mode! I'm catching up back to back. I am here for the content, though! Shadiversity and Co. is gradually evolving! I have no segue to A Knight's Tale, but I want you guys to review it, anyway! My, how time flies!
It's sad. I am in a situation now, due to many medical issues, that I can barely walk let alone work and have no income, but also can't get disability help. I'd love to support, but I just can't. And this locks me out from more Shadiversity and Knights Watch content. I love you guys and your channel. I know you need support, but it is really a shame that some of your dedicated fans are penalized for having poor life situations like mine. That said, thank you very much for posting this for free. It was really fun to watch!
And today on Shadiversity Medieval fashion models, I think silver on the pommel around the logo would help because silver can be a brighter sword color helping the colors on the logo to match with the sword.
Loved seeing this unpacking idea of what is to come. Love that the shadervisity sword just naturally filled a gap in the companies line up and looks great. But i was really impressed with the imperisus sword blade on that hilt of there design that looked awesome. I wonder if they will be up for the challange of producing a foam version of the titan sword when that is completed...with there durability factor if any could make a good variation in foam i feel they have a shot.
Tyranth is right, red is a great color, i especially like it contrasted with black. Plus gold or brass accents if you´re feeling a bit fancy. Silver works too for the more martial minded.
Must also produce a hanger in the form of the keep background used in the logo... I also agree with the color AND the steel for the logo on the pommel.
Cool video. I would say it's definitely a Naginata and not a Glaive. A Glaive is more similar to a Guandao at least from a blade perspective. Length wise the Naginata and Glaive are similar. There are of course varients across all three that I've mentioned.
I agree with Nate, you should keep the colors in the pommel. Maybe add a red crystal in the center of the crossguard. It's a larp sword and lots of fantasy mechanics use crystals embedded into weapons as the parts that hold enchantments like fire/ice. It would help make the colors in the pommel be less jarring/prominent. Unless that's what you're going for then by all means lol.
You can keep the coloured pommel, you know. A lot if wealthy knights incrustrated their swords with jems or even garnet and saphire jem-plastines. I wonder if you could keep the colours and somehow stylize your logo as if were made by that technic.
it looks like an Oakshot type 18. These diamond, heavy blades were used at Bosworth Field. They were usually carried in an eel and wood sheath filled with oiled cotton. When he is saying "Alexandria sword" he is referring to the swords sent to Alexandria as peace gifts by western crusader armies. Congrats on your new book. I await the final manuscript for editing.
The pommel is removable, right? Have two color options to swap out; bright and neutral metal. If the colors are too bright for one's personal taste, use antiquing/weathering techniques to dull it. Or even bejewel it to look like ruby, sapphire and mother of pearl. Just to be extra.
I noticed something nice about that crusader uniform! The cross on it isn't screen printed, it's appliqued on! I can't tell if it's machine applique or hand stitched, but still it's nice detail
I love my Oligierd's sword (Iris),very fun to fight with. I've been thinking about buying another Calimacil sword, now I just might wait a little longer.
Shad- you can do this "logo" as ruby- I mean, flat steel background and sword and circle done as gemstones maybe? that's something you can do in real live, so maybe that can be an answer?
It absolutely needs to keep the colors. 1: Free advertising. People will be like "I've seen this before!" or even "Hey, this new channel has the same logo on my sword!" 2: Many historical swords were painted with bright colors. 3: Walking around in your videos with channel branding on a custom sword is a next level flex.
I definitely want Impervious made out of high manganese steel, or T10. Spring steel? Brass version of that glorious basket hilt. If only they could hue sword steel in blue, without paint. Probably a reason why it hasn't been done. Interference with the tempering and quenching no doubt.
If I were to make my own custom sword, I would make it out of the highest possible quality stainless steel. It would have a full hand cage and/or and 4-way guard. And it would also have a slight curve like a Katana for extra rigidity.
I thought Shad was going to announce that he was making like an actual real steel sword for people to buy and I was gonna be all for it I would buy that shit in a heartbeat
It was awesome seeing you guys unpacking all this stuff. That naginata/glaive looks great, looking forward to seeing that in some videos. And that is a really cool sword design, I've wondered before what it might look like if you were to condense everything you love about swords into a single design for production. How would that be different if you were designing your "best sword" for steel instead of foam? Also, I don't know if the colours are a problem; they could make coloured enamel in medieval times, couldn't they? High end swords could be _very_ fancy.
I think the colored pommel would look good, if you made the handle blue. If the sword comes with the scabbard, I think making the scabbard red would also work. I think if you incorporate the colors of the pommel throughout the sword, the pommel wouldn't look so out of place. Since it's a sword from a fantasy setting, I don't think having the sword be more colorful would be immersion breaking.
YOOO most of it is sold by mytholon! i recognice these golden wings everywere and i love it! i got a store in my town, great finaly some mytho reviews. the larps chance seasonal but the clothes are just great and feel amazing

I like the blue. Not so much the white though
I think we all need a collab between Shad and Alec Steele to make a forged Shadiversity sword when they finalize the design.
I want to see them work together very much
Yeah I wanted it to be a real sword
YES
Or a collab with the smiths at @ThatWorks

ok this☝🏿☝🏿☝🏿
you totally need to team up with Windlass and have a real steel version of the Shadiversity sword made
Absolutely, I would love to see a fully-functional version with a real edge to it.
15:00 Ok but I'm in love with this sword design! more of this please! i love the mix between the messer and scimitar!
"Eh, the mace looks pretty safe" *WHACK*
I approve of his safety testing methods.
Perhaps the shadiversity long sword pommel can stay with blue and red, but shaped like the ruby and sapphire jewels, like a relic sword, representing a high status, rank or monarchy. Then have the metalic one for combat.
Everything you need to defend the SHAD LANDS!
The new sword design does look pretty good And I think it will be awesome if there was a real steel one as well

Nate has the right idea about the Shadiversity Sword, allowing the buyer to choose which pommel they want.
We need a video on if the Pokemon Honedge, Doublade and Aegislash would be useable Swords.
This.
Yes. The channel lockstin and gnoggin have covered the sword Pokemon, so why not get a sword enthusiast's input on sword Pokemon?

I've always loved Shad's tunics and fun outfits, he just wears them so *well* y'know?
"Look at my shoes."
What about doing the logo, on the Shad Sword, to look like gemstones?
I can see what additions of bronze could do with those swords. It’ll make the red really pop
the shad sword is nothing short of GORGEOUS
Next step, a full line of battle ready Shadiversity swords!
I was thinking about getting Imperious but I definitely want the Shadiversity sword!
The part with the gauntlets is giving me ideas for modifying the Power Glove I bought from Etsy.
I want!!! Ahhhhhh!!! So jealous!
And today on Shadiversity Medieval fashion models, I think silver on the pommel around the logo would help because silver can be a brighter sword color helping the colors on the logo to match with the sword.

New sword, new gear, new novel. Great news. Will totally check calimacil when it comes out.
Most excited about the upcoming novel. Keep 'em coming!
7:35 I recognize that handle pommel AND crossguard! Its the same as their flamberge zweihander prop!
Shad, anything about you is very cool. This applies to your team and family as well.❤
I think instead of the just colors of the logo mabey makes them jeweled look like the red look like ruby's blue sapphires ect.
Must also produce a hanger in the form of the keep background used in the logo... I also agree with the color AND the steel for the logo on the pommel.
Yet again more amazing stuff from Shad and the team!

I would like one of the Shadiversity sword made out of Steel. One Sharp and One blunted, but BOTH with the coloured emblem!
it's so nice to see all your knowhows, and facts worked into a sword. it looks amazing. Sword noob from the netherlands!

Imagine the Shadavirsity sword hanging from an elaborate plaque belt with a matching enamel motif, love the colors. Man, that would be glorious.
I still need to get an Imperious for my collection
You could have the handle in duller versions of the Shadiversity colours. Would still represent the channel but wouldn't look too out of place.
You can keep the coloured pommel, you know. A lot if wealthy knights incrustrated their swords with jems or even garnet and saphire jem-plastines. I wonder if you could keep the colours and somehow stylize your logo as if were made by that technic.
That Glaive looks so cool and reminds me of Mar Cauthon’s Ashandarei.
Id like to have a red version of the sword of shadiversity personally
it looks like an Oakshot type 18. These diamond, heavy blades were used at Bosworth Field. They were usually carried in an eel and wood sheath filled with oiled cotton.

I feel the bright colors for the logo are apropos as it will help ensure the enemy remembers the sword that beat them down. (Assuming they survive.)
The longest with the thinner blade feels like the most Shadiversity of the three options to me
I noticed something nice about that crusader uniform! The cross on it isn't screen printed, it's appliqued on! I can't tell if it's machine applique or hand stitched, but still it's nice detail
