DAYUM! That sword built like a pixar mom!
noooo, why does it make sense?
😂😂😂😂
Lol'd
And Auntie Cass from Big Hero 6..?
😂
If y'all end up rating the swords with a standardized system, price should be the tie-breaker for swords of equal performance score. Lower cost wins.
It is deffenetly worth mentioning the cutting capasity/price ratio. The cheap swords for around 100-200 US dollar is expected to be worse than a high quality sword for 3-10x the price.
Frankly they probably need to keep the scores broken out so that you cannot directly compare them. Frankly I am more interested in utility/durability and cost. Other people are probably only interested in historical accuracy to price, and others appearance to price.
For a new video series, you could do something similar to this, but when testing the swords, you don't reveal the price until the end and have the reviewers guess how much it is/how much they would pay for it.
Great video! May have to pick up that sword...
Ooh, a price cut guessing game!
i love the fact you are in your backyard, your neighbors probably feel the same about you as mine, my friends and I spar with blunted swords in the alley behind my house, commonly in armor.
Similar here most of my neighbors know I'm mostly blind I wanted them who has become a friend of mine will sometimes let his kids watch me while I cut bottles...
I live in the country so Im lucky because if I didn’t people would set up chairs to watch the comedy which is me nearly dropping a knife shaped piece of yellow hot steel on my feet.

Nice pun.
@@FerociousSniperthank you so much for pointing that out. I, who consider myself a great connoisseur of pun (A Gourpund of sorts), somehow missed it.
I stand in gratitude to your witsdom. (For the few seconds I can stand, anyway).
This joke had me rolling in laughter. Just ignore the fact that I was in my chair and the wheels weren't locked.
Forbidden Pizza Slice!
@@Grandwiggdo you mind explaining said pun
18:28 rare sight of a bottle collector on the far left side of the screen
Nah, that’s just the average Australian spider
You had me a thic-
She got that pixar mom build.
It's sexy enough to be "thicc" with 2 Cs. 😎
Aku: “EXTRA THIC!!!”
12:40 that was a very satisfying few seconds
I was about to say the exact same. 5 seconds of bliss
I rewatched that part multiple times.
The joke writes itself, gents.
'Twas fulfilling to me, too, but the moment from 13:41 to 13:42 greatly overcomes it for me since I liked Tyrath's pose whilst sending that pool noodle bit flying to the camera. Yo! 🤗🙌🏻🤘🏻
You actually got a Top Gear leaderboard. That gave me a weird feeling. I haven't seen that in a long time
Need a test track to (objectively) evaluate each swords performance. Don't think this show can afford a tester comparable to The Stig.
@@RepressedObeseCathopefully the test rig they've been using is the first in such a suite of test.
(Especially when the work out the issue from the cardboard)
Such a nostalgic feeling 😢
This does make me wonder how many historical “famous” swords have been cloned in modern times, like a reproduction of Joyeuse that’s actually functional.
as joyeuse as your sister's fanny
Nice to get a Deepeeka review from you Shad, I've been looking at their stuff cuz it's much more affordable, but couldn't find as many reputable review on them. Thanks! It's a gorgeous sword!
Yeah it was a genuine surprise, seriously did not expect it to be so good.
Hope all is going well mate
A quality Deepeeka sword?! This cannot be!
Yeah that title really caught me off guard. Depeeka really isn't a quality producer.
They sent this to a reviewer.
Entirely possible that they put some extra effort into this one.
1.5 out of 3 in my personal experience
My Deepeeka experiences are all from the mid-90's, but I have heard that their quality has been improving.
My favorite sword I own is a deepeeka. Crazy, I know, but not everything is a dud.
You guys are the best commercial this sword could ever get. I'm going to get one xD
We aren't here for objective sword reviews with cutting rigs, we're here to watch you two bicker like schoolboys. 🤣
That sword looks so cool!!!!
I wish more people would test Deepeeka swords. I think the sword community generally considers them junk but rarely do we see any actual reviews.
yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees
They have the most beautiful falcatas ive seen
I hear Depeeka quality control is rough. You either can get pretty good or real bad.
Well, essentially cardboard is essentially just thick paper, so if you can't find a standard cardboard source, multiple sheets of notebook paper could be used. You can vary how many sheets. It may not be cheaper than a standard cardboard source, but on the other hand, you can cut used homework paper.
Shad has a lot of children right? He should have a readily available source.
12:37 Tyranth playing noodle ninja
This is the kind of weapon your savvy adventurer rocks, saying, "one-handed don't mean I'm skimping on damage!"
I love the dynamic of cutting competitions between you two.
Maybe just buy some pork roasts from your local butcher and use that as a cutting medium. It's the most analogous to human flesh (which is what swords were meant for) and, if you prepare properly by putting down a clean tarp beforehand, you can even cook up the pieces afterwards for yourself and/or your pets to eat.
Probably cheaper than ballistic gel, which isn't meant for or a good representation of edge weapon cuts anyways, as it's designed for bullets and the energy they deliver rather than cutting and slicing motions.
What this guy said ^ ^ ^
@32:45 for ties I would recommend going with price as a tiebreaker so the one that costs less gets a higher score indicating that it is better per unit of currency than the other swords with the same score.
Holy crap! I predicted that it would cut wood like an axe at 21:40, not only did it do that, Tyranth said exactly the same thing at 23:36!
video idea: Testing life jackets as apocalypse armor. Would it perform better or worse than a gambeson?
I got a question. A modern soldier’s worst nightmare is clearing houses and CQB. How did medieval soldiers clear houses? (weapon manipulation, tactics of it)
I saw Daemon try to clear Harrnehal in HoD. He was manipulating his sword similar a rifle when clearing the hallway which seemed silly. I’m a marine myself and like to study how room clearing has evolved over time.
Pretty sure they were called "catapults".
That is actually an interesting question
Please answer this Shad! Really cool question
Speculation on my part here but I'd wager some soldiers carried decent length daggers and short swords. Maybe something like gladius length, that or shorter one handed axes plus a more manageable shield.
When it comes to close quarter combat (room clearing or otherwise) it's not too difficult to do it with regular swords. As long as you can stab in front you you can do some damage even in very tight hallways and if a room is open then just use the weapon as intended. If you're using a longsword then you can halfsword it (grab the blade with the other hand) to get it more manageable, so that's not a problem either.
The only issue can be with people who use polearms as their main weapons since those can be too long sometimes, but pretty much everyone had some sort of a knife or a dagger or even a hatchet they brought from home so they can just pull that thing out if they get in tight quarters.
On the other hand, my understanding is that there wasn't that much close quarters combat in an enclosed space in that period. Armies fought usually in the open and even most castle sieges ended when one side ran out of food or a relief force came to chase away the besiegers. If the castle walls had been breached the defenders would most likely surrender at that point since there is not much they could do (also castle defenders were usualy numerically inferior). If it was an army looting a civilian house, well a civilian or two are not really a match for a group of soldiers rushing in so not much skill or tactic needs to be utilized in that case.
So basically don't think of it as modern day room clearing where you must develop tactics to do it very quickly because someone might be hiding in a room who can drop a grenade or shoot a full-auto rifle in a group of soldiers, think about it in a sense that it's a very rare occasion to have to fight in a room in the first place, but on the off chance that it comes to it everyone only has melee weapons and you're still coming in as a group so it's just another melee fight against another group of people who are in most cases already all but defeated.
the score board is a brilliant idea
The top gear style leaderboard is honestly a great idea
That's not a sword that's a section of railroad track with an edge. That's a hefty chunk of metal!
It's not hefty at all, it weighs 1.2 kilo.
I'm impressed! If I had money to spare I would definitely get one!
It's like the Difference between a Blem Palmetto state AK at $400 where I can forgive the defects and the $1.2K arsenal AK which at the price point It should be PERFECT.
It won't be 😂 I've seen Arsenals that literally couldn't be zeroed
@@AnarchAngel1 Which is why I am not happy with arsenal as of late. I can forgive PSA with thier price point.
@rifleman2c997 AKs in general are just crudely designed and manufactured rifles. Some companies like PSA are starting to get it right but I have no interest in AKs anymore. You can get a much higher quality AR for the price right now. I liked AKs when they were coming into the country and going for like 3 or 4 hundred bucks. Now that I need to pay 1k+ I'm just gonna pick the AR platform every time. The AK really doesn't do anything better than the AR. Change my mind 😆
@@AnarchAngel1 LOL, nice trolling.
@@rifleman2c997 I like messing with AK guys 😁
I love the Top Gear style power board for swords!
The shape of the blade reminds me of the Italian cinquedea...
Time for a battle of the shiniest turd! A bunch on swords in the sub $300 price range facing off in a stress/performance gauntlet.
Ork sword out of construction steel for $5 beats them all 😂
Love the banter, and a great value priced sword!
the sheath alone would be $200 on etsy
thats insane value for a gorgeous sword!
I've always loved this style of sword, it almost looks like a fantasy sword. It reminds me of Borimir's sword from LoTR! It almost looks like an oversized dagger (in the best way)
The mechanics have to be insane.
Remember Shad. Old age and treachery will always beat youth and exuberance.
Finally, a sword for my charcuterie
When I did reenactment I fell in love with wide based geometry swords.
Great on the defence with single sword duels, but also still fast.
Loving the videos! Would like to see a few more thrusts in the testing of the swords, as that one on the water bottle looked great.
Thank you Shad! This sword is of a type that I have been looking for. Instant purchase, because I am most interested in its length and functionality. I appreciate the thorough review and your well made and informative videos in general.
from 12:40 to 12:45 is the cleanest cutting sequence in the history books. DAMN
You guys are getting me closer and closer to starting a medieval weapons collection.
I really enjoy the jabs you two throw at each other during the cutting. The competitive bickering back and forth adds to the entertainment of these reviews.
I really love the sword rating board and how it looks exactly like the one in Top Gear. Also the sword looks great.
Love the Top Gear ranking board
Love the top gear ranking system. May the best weapon win ⚔️
Looks great! definitely a new favorite
Damn might be the most praise I've ever seen in one of these reviews
Nice! That sword looks like a lot of fun!!
1:37 D&D rulebook has left the chat.
Mental note: next KOA purchase through this channel
Love the Top Gear nod!
Beautiful sword
It looks closer to game swords, they like to make the blade wide like that
nice blade but did you have a storm behind you was i seeing lightning flashes while you were filming?
10-20 years ago, Depeeka didn’t make swords. They made “sword-like objects” as costume pieces. But in the last couple years they’ve REALLY stepped up their game. Definitely still entry level swords but they’re SO much better than they used to be
Where is my notification youtube?
It looks like a sword that would last a knight a long time. When you were talking about the cardboard, I was thinking of why don't they use gel instead. I didn't know the exact name for it until you said it. Thank you. :)
Hey, I think one of the things you can improove in your cutting rig is to nail a piece of wood to hold the back of the handle of the sword, so it doesn't move as much, because the clamps are not able to hold so much force alone. the way it is right now is inconsistent and might hinder the sword ability to cut more deeply. Looking forwards to see the improoved version either way, the cutting rig is one of the best ideas you had on this channel! Keep it up!!
It would be cool to see Shad go into blades of other cultures as well. The aztec macuahuitl, the African mambele, the Filipino kalis, etc. I think Shad would find it quite interesting to learn more on these various blades.
Sword and sheath for under $300 is amazing! It looks like an axe blade at the guard.
@18:31 BIG FOOT!
Lovely looking sword. very tempted to get one :D
Phenomenal information, gentlemen! Thank you very much. God bless you all. And I shall look into acquiring a new blade.
I own three different swords from this company and their reputation is usually not very good... One of the swords I got from them was garbage the second one which I love aesthetically isn't balanced well but it is a decent sword overall and the last one is actually surprisingly good for the price. This reinstates a little bit more faith back in this company and I added the sword to my wish list.
And yes I do own other sorts from other companies
Wow, calling that thing a steal is a bit of an understatement. $200 for something with a decent sheath, decent construction, decent sharpening, real etching, and only some cosmetic flaws? Not bad, not bad.
was waiting for this. cant watch the whole vid before i comment :) is it the best?
I love seeing the dude in the background cleaning up your mess. 😅😂
Big love for both video and sword....so much enjoyed watching
Steel Shortsword from TES Oblivion?
Shad this is awesome!
This video proves what I was saying about the carbon giant sword design in the comments of one of the most recent videos. In that comment I said to design the hilt like Sting from The Lord of the Rings, and this one proves that point BEAUTIFULLY. The cross guard being a semicircle curving upward and the wide blade going into that crescent makes an excellent seat for the blade which acts as a spring to absorb the impact and reverberate the shockwave back at itself to cancel it out. As the shockwave spreads from the impact point it eventually goes into that semicircle and is reflected back like a curved mirror concentrating and reflecting light. When that concentrated reverberation rebounds back into the other incoming shockwaves from the same hit it cancels them out and causes them to dissolve against one another instead of the materials needing to deform too heavily to absorb the shockwaves. In other words the carbon blade will take less damage along the blade because this hilt geometry does some physics at it and counters the shockwaves against one another like a funhouse mirror.
Please read these comments and take them seriously! This is absolutely the way to go with the future designs of the carbon giant sword. You may not even need to put holes through the carbon since you could seat the entire base of the blade into the curve by grinding a groove into the inner curve or sandwiching the blade between two halves of the semicircle hilt. This will effectively widen the handle to the full width of the blade without actually changing the handle at all, because mechanically the handle will apply pressure to the entire width of the blade.
Damn, I need to get into your Discord and send you a message about this, because I keep dropping comments like this on your videos and haven't gotten a reply to any them in over a year. Seems you got busier than you used to be which is obvious. I mean look at the growth of the channel! 😆
The next thing you need to consider is materials. This sword in the video has brass fittings which is a softer material than steel, and that softness can be heard in the difference between a grass instrument and a steel one. So think about the soft sound of a clarinet compared to the sharp sound of a flute. The shape of the instrument is perhaps more important to an instruments sound, sure, but the material changes how that sound is delivered as well. Sound is shockwaves just like hitting something is a bunch of shockwaves. Brass is softer than the steel sword blade, so its shockwave is focused by the inner curve, but that shockwave is softer than a semicircle of steel would produce. It would absolutely not feel as nice if this same sword in the video had a steel semicircle hilt instead.
SO! Do you use brass for the carbon fiber giant sword? No, probably not, because you're working with carbon fiber rather than steel. You will certainly have a better time with a brass hilt than a steel one with carbon fiber giant sword because the steel will be many times harder than the carbon fiber. You need to find something just a bit softer than the carbon fiber blade. Think in terms of the blade of the sword being hardened while the core is softer steel to make sure the blade doesn't snap. Anyway, you'll have to experiment with materials to find just the right one. Something springy, slightly less hard than carbon fiber, can hold fast to the handle, is light enough not to add much weight, and of course looks cool. Hard to say. Needs a materials expert to find the right one, or else a bunch of experimentation.
Speaking of resistance, I think something you could do for laughs would be to recreate the Super Pykrete from Mythbusters and put it up against several medieval weapons.
I am not a swordman but i love these videos.
You know what else is thick and incredible…
Really nice. Makes me want to play around with one.
Now that's a sword
Nice sword shad! It was strudy and can perform when needed. 😅 great Sword!
That’s a chonky boy
Thick sword too
SHAD, PLEASE, do a fight autopsy on the Swtor cinematic Fights
@Shadiversity and @Tyranth This! Please and thank you!
Nice sword sir!😊
Great video.
Based on my experience with older (1990's era) Deepeeka swords, I was worried about the wood test. I had heard that Deepeeka quality had improved, and it seems to be borne out by this video.
Shad, with your channel being over a million subs, I'm surprised you guys haven't been in touch with Clear Ballistics. Get some "Zombie" busts and such for testing. Very dramatic and fairly accurate for both blades and firearms/projectiles.
Those are pretty expensive, and shipping those across the ocean without them melting would prove a challenge unless they did it by air freight which, for that distance, is HELLA pricey. Especially these days. The only way he would get those is if someone bought them for him or he managed to get them as a sponsor, sadly.
Your sword chart reminds me of the lap times chart from Top Gear, I really like what you guys are doing with your improved sword test standards.
Not first. But top 5. I’ll take it.
Top 7 but I'll give it to you
Man, I think giving this sword a mirror finnish on the blade and leaving the fuller untouched would look REALLY nice
18:28 Thief in the background. Good job palace guards, your freaking fired!
30:55 Guys the thief is back! The guards have been fired, turn around and smite him! He is stealing precious noodles of the pool.
One question what sword would you use if you could only use the one you chose no other for a zombie invasion
Tyranth with the buttery smooth pool noodle combo. Very nice indeed
As far as I'm concerned, the worst defect is the name. I wouldn't possess anything that bore the name of "il mal di Francia"; it would carry a curse with it.
Love it....might have to add one to my collection 🤔 @Shadiversity could I make suggestion....some nice close up inspection shots when discussing things like the wrap and blade polish/fuller...the finish, detail and edge are all things I'd be fascinated to learn more about in detail as a collector. Better to know what I'm looking for than buy cheap tat 😂
Armor makers after this video: What kind of cardboard where you using?
me and tyrant sharing one brain cell when shad said "galvanized steel pipe"
LOL that sword rating board brings me memories of Top Gear xD
Havent seen many Deepeeka reviews yet
I like to thing that in the year 3255 some archeologist is going to fall through the ground into Shad's house and be extremely confused by what they find.
Immediate thought "Wow its Boromirs Broadsword" lol.
that sword gives off Sir Peter Wolfsbane vibes, i like it.
I got an idea for your merch.
Set up the exact same hoodie as two different products, calling one Tyranth red and the other Shad red.
That way you can see how many of which sold so you have a sort of poll on who people think the red suits better :'D
